Many children from my generation grew up watching “The Cosby Show”, therefore our perception of the ideal family was one similar to the Huxtables’. We later adjusted our thought patterns as we perceived that things also went perfectly with blended families as was depicted on the “The Brady Brunch”, another popular TV family series. So we began transitioning in the late 60’s to early 70’s from the traditional family, (Parents and biological children) living happily under one roof. What was the main contributor to this? New divorce laws which allowed persons to separate without a cause and so families began falling apart.

The show was one of the first shows to have a “blended” family and came along in the time when divorce and remarriage was becoming more popular in America. The family faced lots of experiences including growing up, sibling rivalry, school issues, dating woes and family vacations.

What I have looked for the first part of my analyzes is “ women are less important than men and are more likely to play minor roles than men” (Renzetti and Curran, 152) to test this point I will pay attention and count all the characters who come out more than once throughout the four episodes.

Growing Up essay The author had a casual style of writing, writing about his relationship with his children and what he goes through visiting his mom. Imagery is used well, for example, “That day she was a young country wife with chickens in the backyard and a view of hazy blue Virginia Mountains behind the apple orchard, and I was a stranger old enough to be her father.” The author was probably writing in the 1980s based on that Russell got married in 1950 and his children were small in 1960. During this time Ronald Reagan was president, the Cold War ended, and the berlin wall was torn down. People were concerned with the Cold War and recovering from a recession.

In the show, “Modern Family” there are many scenes in the episode, “Door to Door” that provide sufficient evidence to the fact that the characters in this film fit the criteria to a family that withholds kinship and passion. One example is how the Dunphy family helps their mother and wife, Sarah Dunphy provide a stop sign to a dangerous interaction in their community.
