Way of shaping the family? 7. Taught from Show? Answers: 1 Television Show I usually watched a TV serial or show called The Griffins,Family Guy. The family of the show consist a parent including two children. According to the show both children obey the guidelines of their parents and put a great lesson for everyone (Griffin and Hargis). The coordination is significant between the family members, so they fight against any problems. On the other hand, the parents are playing an essential role in the TV show and they have full respect for each other. 2 Explanation of the show TV show family is socially very helpful. There were many problems faced by this family, for example, one day Mr. Griffin lost his job due fraud case but the actual reason was completely different. One day he saw that his boss was talking with someone and ordered to kill Mr. Brown. Unfortunately, at that he entered into the cabin of his boss and pay for his unnatural behavior. After a long fight the TV show family got the justice and his boss was arrested by police (Flaherty). In terms of gender roles, they have full faith and trust for each other. According to the TV family experience the gender roles recognize the root of a problem and resolved it with care. Moreover, the gender roles interact with each other in a smooth manner. The social class also influences some problems and solutions in the family. For an example, a man who worked in the family as a servant is facing some trouble due to lack of money (Brown). The head of the family understand the problem of the man and helped t hem with money. 3 Similarities between families of serial and real life Talking about my family, I have a loving parent and two elder brothers. My family structure is very much similar to TV show family. Just like Mr. Griffin loves his children my father also loves us very much. The relationship with my brothers is very strong and we trust each other like the TV show family but our family concludes some factors which are not similar with TV show family such as my father do not give me extra money. Not only that my brothers always hang up with their friends but they do not include me (Hampton). 4 TV Families and Myths about families In terms of Myth, the TV show family had to face a disaster incident which was discussed in the early paragraph, the legal trouble. Another myth was financial problem during jobless status of Mr. Griffin. The family had to face many financial problems. However, they fought against situations with the help of each other and recover after a specific time (Johnson). They had overcome all the myths like financial and legal and make their family happy again. 5 functionalism of myths According to the myths that showed in the show it is obvious that a family can be in problem at any time. So, the support and trust should be there to face the issues. In fact, the families should be aware of all kinds of legal issues that might harm them and affect their families future. Even the financial problem is also a similar problem shih can be caused at any time for the family that runs on a job. If suppose the head lost the job or face any financial issues, they should help each other and the head should make the entire family member aware of the condition/to sustain safely. 6 way of shaping the family From the serial I came to know that the family should be shaped with trust. Also the family must be supportive to each other. 7 taught from Show The TV show also helps to improve the relationship between the family members and they teach how to respect presents and other elder members of the family. This assignment teaches me a useful lesson that is always has faith in our family and never breaks the family (O'Gara). Should keep trust on our family members and support them.
