Modern Family

I think that over the last five to ten years we used to have these typical families where the father worked and the mother stayed at home. Everything was clean and the children respected their parents. Now we have blended families, single parent families, same sex parents, and sometimes both parents are working. I like the change because as America has changed so has the families on TV.  Everyday a new TV show is coming on and the way it views a family changes. Nothing ever stays the same in the media world because not everything will always relate to people.

I think that society and media relate to each other. When society starts to change so does the media, but that is also vise versa. When the Jersey shore fist pump came out everyone at the club was doing that. Also when same-sex couples became more acceptable in society they started to appear more on television. I think that what happens on TV and what happens in society will influence the other. It is just how the world works. The world keeps changing and the media has to keep changing with it.  I do not know whats going to become of the "American" family in the next five to ten years, but I'm sure whatever it is it will still be hilarious. The important thing about it is that it just needs to relate to whats going on with families in America at that point in time.
