In television media, the “show must go on,” but at what cost? I don't understand why a moderator of a talent show evaluates a little contestant without measuring her words, until he makes her cry.
The thing is, apologies are unnecessary because the damage has been done. The moderator criticized without empathy the small contestant from a popular neighbourhood that abounds in Caracas-Venezuela. The look of the barely 8-year-old girl says it all. Her innocence shines from her, honouring her beautiful name, “Miracles.” And this was on the State Channel, a country where they have passed laws so that you cannot give your opinion about politicians.
A talent program must be an ideal means so that participants do not advance to the next rounds, but feel motivated to improve. I don't agree that a child's dream should be destroyed with expressions like “you should dedicate yourself to another activity like selling cupcakes and chichi, you don't have the material to be an artist…”, and the tone in which he said it was not appropriate either.
In any environment where we are working with children, our words must be empathetic, we must be tactful and nourish hope in those children. Provide them with the tools to find their true calling. We cannot cut short his dreams because “the show must go on.”
