The Stereotypes Of Modern Family

Stereotypes are a reoccurring obstacle for people in our world today. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion on race and sexuality, but it is becoming a part of our world whether we are ready for it or not. Some of the more popular television shows display different situations. including sexuality and race, that are becoming more mainstream. Modern Family is based on the lives an urban family whose members take on a variation of race and sexuality roles in their community. One of the main purposes of Modern Family, along with entertainment, is to encourage acceptance for those with different race and/or sexuality all over the world.
Modern Family proves an alternative lifestyle to be universal by showing Cam and
