Images of families are everywhere in media, including in movies and television. What constitutes a family has changed significantly in recent decades, and much of those changes are reflected in the families we watch on screens. Some of these images reflect our personal experience of family and some are very different from what we know and have experienced.

After watching this weeks videos and reading the articles please answer the following questions.

 Consider the following questions:

1. What norms are assumed in this family?
2. What roles do family members have?
3. What argument do these families make about public perceptions of family behavior and structures?
4. What does this family say about society?
