Kendall describes many frames throughout his paper, and each one provides a different view of United States pop culture and mass media. One of my personal favorite frames that Kendall talks about is the Middle-class values framing. This type of framing focuses on the “values of this class and suggest that they hold the nation together” (Kendall 59). A show that features this type of frame would be Arrested Development. This show makes fun of the typical middle-class by showing how dysfunctional the family really is. Through the writer’s clever use of the idea of focusing every episode on a different family member, and showing the conflicts within the family they are able to display the Middle-class value frame as described by Kendall.
