Journal writing on Father knows best and The Crosby Show Episodes

Description: Television comedy shows play a good role in our society. Earlier in 1950s to 1990s many great shows came out such as Father Knows Best and The Crosby Show. This journal will be based on one episode from each of those two shows. Both episodes represent families living together. Father is the main character in both shows. Husbands and wives relationships are very good and loving. Father knows best episode shows the value of money such as when dad buys scooter for his for $50 and sells it for $40 but at the end his son buys the same scooter for $30. Both of the episodes held inside the house. There was only one scene in The Crosby show episode which occurred in the backyard when the little girl gets angry with everybody and hides herself in the carton.
Similarities and Differences: The Father Knows Best episode (The Motor Scooter) is about buying a scooter for his son. The dad loves his son and buys him a scooter as a surprise. But the mom doesn’t think their son is responsible enough to take care of him and the scooter. The whole episode revolves around the scooter and mom dad argument because the both have different thoughts about his son. On the other hand, in The Crosby Shows episode mom takes care of her little daughter and teaches her that everybody loves her and dad spends time with his son and figures out that his son is not good enough to play soccer. In the Father show, mom stays home and dad goes to work and mom wears casual home clothes whereas in the Crosby show, everybody stays home except the son who goes to school. But it also says that mom is a lawyer maybe that’s why she is always dressed formal.
The similarities in both shows are the arguments which are taking place from the fathers. It means fathers are the ones that talk about the situation and prove their selves either right or wrong. In the beginning of both shows, fathers support their sons. Both families

    The nuclear family with two children and their parents, living together, is represented by the Carver family. Ken Carver (father) s a working man and supports his family while Betty Carver is a stay at home mother. And she performs the household duties. This is the sort of family that, in the past, society has supported. This sort of family is supposed to demonstrate love, security, acceptance and stability. These are the characteristics that children value. The Carver family showed glimpses of these characteristics. Love, shown by Betty Carver, towards her children, and security through the father providing money and material goods. However, this is not the sort of security a child looks for. This family does not function as well as it could. Small town country life may be okay for Ken Carver, but it seems to stifle his wife, and that leads to the breakdown of a happy marriage, and eventually the breakdown of the family life. This family is far from ideal. It does not work and the…

    In order to speak on Humanities, there must be a clear view on what the meaning of it is. Humanities are a clear investigation of human beings and how they act, which includes their self-expression and their culture. The purpose of this paper is to explain how humanities replicate changing concepts of life and individuals in diverse historical periods. In today's civilization, human beings are ignorant to the history of our people. Our ancestors have contributed too many areas that we participate in frequently. The result of researching humanities provides us with a better understanding of where individuals have been and where it is important to go. By basing our future off history, allows us to work towards improvements that will produce positive results and circumstances in today’s time.…

    “To See Who Was Best on the Plantation: Enslaved Fighting Contests and Masculinity in the Antebellum Plantation South”, written by Sergio Lussana, gives us insight into the life of those on Southern plantations from the male slave perspective. In comparison to the amount of information available on the role of women in slavery, there is surprising less information about men. This may be attributed to the fact that slave communities on plantations were matriarchal societies. Nevertheless, Lussana offers valuable information based largely on the accounts of former slave diaries.…

    I have witnessed the stages of conflict in my relationships on a daily basis, especially when it comes to my sixteen year old daughter and her attitude, we often disagree. Our greatest challenge that we deal with the most is trying to manage her diabetes in public. Lately she has gained this attitude of she knows what is best for her. She wants to be independent and thinks that she does not need my guidance or opinion. Often times, this cause a power struggle between the child and the parent. In reality, she does not see a problem with her managing it alone. In the past, allowing her to self-manage her diabetes caused an increase in her A1-C. We resolved the problem by coming to a verbal agreement. I came up with a plan that would allow me to be trusting and for her to feel independent. The idea is for her to check her blood sugar levels with her testing kit and every Thursday we will get together and review the numbers. She had to agree with sitting down and discussing any changes that needs to be made without conflict. We both have agreed to meet one another half way and work together to ensure her health as a team.…

    Despite the contrasts, there are similarities also. One of them is the lack of communication. In "The Father" John Purcell (the father) and his son barely spoke to each other which led them to have a bad relationship, like a wedge between them. In "Penny in the Dust" the father and son had trouble expressing their feelings toward each other. They both loved each other, and the son especially wanted a better relationship with his…

    Television network ABC Family’s breakout comedy series, Modern Family, is a show full of life lessons and hidden meanings. Most television shows nowadays are all about sex, alcohol, and the dramas that occur because of them. Modern Family is not an exception, however it focuses more on the family aspect of life’s many dramas. On the surface, it is similar to the sex and drugs filled television shows that consume the media these days, but underneath that surface each episode has a moral to be learned, and the show overall represents many different assumptions America makes on what a “typical” family is.…

    In the passage “The Men We Carry in Our Minds,” by Scott Russel Sanders he discusses his view on men and women. The quote above has a meaning that goes deeper than gender roles, but in this particular passage the meaning is that the way one perceives women and men is all about their experiences with women and men in their throughout their lives. The authors perception on men is different than those of the women in his class because the women in his class have fathers who hold more prestigious jobs, such as doctors and lawyers, and his father worked his way up to a job where he didn’t have to get his hands dirty. The father’s hardwork paid off when he had his higher, less demanding position, but his body gave out on him completely before he reached the age of sixty-five, as written in the passage.…
