Exercise 8: family
Thinking about the readings for this week https://sites.google.com/site/mrmooressociology/sp…
answer the following questions:
- How has the portrayal of the American family changed over time?
- How are “traditional” and “nontraditional” families different? How are they alike?
- Is the current portrayal of the family on television more accurate? Why or Why not?
- What television mostly resembles your own family of orientation (the family in which you were raised)?
- How is that family most like your family?
- What other portrayals of the family do you think are missing from television?
Note: to receive all of the points for this question, you must answer all of the questions thoughtfully and you must have at least five sentences related to the topic/discussion.
