A person may argue that family bonding is through blood. There’s no doubt that family is connected through blood, but why are there families with adopted kids? I have a friend whose parents adopted all their four kids, yet my friend still considers the adopted individuals as a family. Because families are busy, a limited amount of time together will satisfy the bonding for a family. One hour once a week for family bonding spent together is to enjoy a show and talk about it. This family bonding moment is special to the family members because nowadays modern families are busy.

Because families can’t afford the ticket to the game, while the Superbowl is on the television, it allows family to bond over a sport and the commercials playing. This is a positive aspect of television, but this only happens once a year. Television has impacted family
