The Brady Bunch

In my investigation, I have watched the shows Modern Family (2009- 2017) and the show The Brady Bunch (1969-1974) . Both shows are a perfect representation of how families looked like at their respective times. In addition, the shows also display how families deal with struggles and their day-to-day interactions amongst each other and society. This investigation helped me analyze how the idea of family has changed over time. Modern Family is a show about an American family that is very…

family experience a rougher childhood and less stability. I agree with Barbara in some respect but disagree with her in others. She states that single parents and gay families set their children up for failure but I disagree with her in that the "Brady Bunch" families can work despite her objections. I believe that single parents set…

generally oppressive 50’s, the nuclear family is an idea contemporary Americans probably recognize: laid back dad, attentive mom, good-looking kids, scruffy dog, middle class aesthetic, etc. (We can probably think of sitcoms like I Love Lucy or The Brady Bunch for pop culture examples of nuclear families.) This family structure carried over…

The second similarity between Brott’s and Brady’s essay is that both of the authors address gender stereotyping. According to Brott, our society views men as irresponsible and not in their children life. In his essay he uses evidence from his two-year-old story books that guys are just the bad guys. For examples in the story Mother Goose and the Sly Fox, the main message of the story is informing us that women take better care of the children better and that men just sit around and do nothing,…

Studies show that children who come from and typical “Brady Bunch” family can be introduced into society easier because they grew up in a diverse environment, than those who come from a traditional family. Furthermore, traditional families are not ridiculed as much as nontraditional families because their ways…

Because your face is graced with these beauty spots, people will remember you over someone else whose looks are pretty average. As a child, you likely wished you could make your freckles go away, like Jan Brady attempted in the “Not So Ugly Duckling” episode of the Brady Bunch Show. In this episode, Jan wants to get a boys attention and believes her freckles are what’s standing in her way. She attempts to erase them using lemon juice. As a freckled child, she reacted normally. As anyone…

In the 1970s show The Brady Bunch, middle child Jan had a distinct personality that made viewers adore the humorous viewpoint of the middle child, but is it really that way? In 1990 the University of Texas at Dallas conducted a study in which they researched the many behaviors of a child and how that is affected by the order of birth. Although the birth order is a major factor, topics such as family types and parenting can affect a child’s outcome (Kittleson 58).There are also studies that focus…

Until My Dying Day “Alright, kid, why’d ya do it?” the police officer asked. He was standing in a small room, with a simple table with a chair on each side. He looked down at the boy, who was staring at the floor, and asked again. The boy didn’t move, but responded in a voice full of power, more power than the officer was anticipating. “He deserved it. I was protecting her.” “What exactly did he do? And who is this girl you’re talking about? C’mon, Emmett, just make this easy for all of…

who are into Disney and like playing with Barbie dolls want to be the prettiest of all them all, and if this continues, it becomes problematic because they no longer want to be only the prettiest of them all, but the sexiest. In the 1970s, on the Brady bunch which was a mainstream TV show back then, teen and pre-teen girl were still dressed and portrayed as cute, not hot and adorable, not sexual. Since teens now are trying to figure out how they are and how they want to be seen by the world, I…
