**TERM PAPER INSTRUCTIONS**
In an 5-8 page paper, you are going to analyze the changing media representation of the family. Specifically, you must choose 2 sitcoms from 2 different decades that represent the family.
The two sitcoms are: (1) The Jeffersons (1970s) and (2) The Cosby Show (1980s)
In your paper you must address the following questions (in essay format, not question/answer).
- What is the structure of the family/families portrayed in your sitcoms (some sitcoms may focus on a single family, others multiple families)? If there are multiple families, is the structure similar in all, or very diverse?
- How are the family structures different in the two decades? Explain why they are different by tying your analysis to the text’s discussion of how the definition of family has changed over time. Discuss some of the recent trends in families including single parents, gay/lesbian families, grandparents as parents, etc.
- Do the families represented in your chosen sitcoms perpetuate any of the myths about the family? Which ones? Again, tie this discussion to the course text and readings.
- What are the racial/ethnic based strengths and stresses that are portrayed in your sitcoms? Have they changed over time? Give specific examples.
- How are gender roles and gender role socialization portrayed in your sitcoms? Do the roles of men and women change over time? Give specific examples.
- What are the romantic relationships included in your families, and how are they represented? Do these kinds of relationships change over time? Why?
- Is parenting represented in your sitcoms? How? What roles do fathers and mothers play? Are both mothers and fathers present? What specific parenting styles are used?
- How is the balance between home and work life represented?
- Are any of the negative aspects of family life represented? Is there abuse? Divorce?
You are required to provide acceptable academic references for any facts, figures, data, or any other assertion you make in your paper. You are also required to demonstrate what you have learned all semester by supporting your claims using information from the course textbook. In your analysis you must include at least 5 concepts/terms discussed in class. Please clearly identify those concepts by making them bold or underlined. Please cite all references used.
