Culture cooperation house

Reality TV opens the personal lives of cast members to audiences in ways never imagined by traditional sitcoms or scripted shows. However, the quality seems to have degraded toward talk-show rantings and ravings, or game-show grabs for prizes. Producers challenge crews towards conflict and friction with uncomfortable, cramped living conditions or give them competitions and tough problems to solve as a group. What if a show could address a current social problem while holding viewers' attention with the same approach? Racial and religious prejudices separate groups of people around the world. This leads to discrimination, injustice, and even ethnic cleansing. In nearly every case, misconceptions and ignorance set groups against one another and lead to individuals being seen as caricatures or stereotypes. How about a TV show that brings people of different conflicting groups together and follows them as they address the problems housemates face daily? The cast would have 4-10 people, depending on the number of conflicting groups in a region. For the filmed portion, they would continue in their roles as before, working and paying to contribute to the rent and utilities. By focusing on the daily lives, the show might paint people from conflicting groups as facing the same human problems and seeking towards similar desires, instead of impersonal scapegoats.
