Boy Meets World
Boy Meets World was one of my favorite childhood sitcom; it shows ethical decisions that needed to be made in the era. The sitcom has multiple angles and perspectives of different issues and life lessons. The main character Corey Matthews goes through life long journey with struggles and mishaps with family and friends. Boy Meets World shows how the “average” teenager is life. During the time of the show, the Matthews made is seem that the most important thing in life was family and friends. This sitcom shows personal, historical, technical, ethical, cultural, and critical perspectives.
Personal Perspective
I have always loved this show. It had taught me a lot about growing up and what love should be like, whether it’s with friends, family or a significant other, it has also taught me what true friendship is all about, how friends should always be there for you through thin and thick. I was three years old when this sitcom first aired, so I didn’t start watching it until I was probably eight or nine, I fell in love with it and I ended up getting all of the series on VHS. Boy Meets World shows how 6th graders act and family values seeming like there isn’t even a script, it just seems so real.
