Fort Simpson

possibly tries to improve humanity through its criticism. In order to truly understand the comedy in satire, the reader needs to have some basic knowledge about the topic. Satire is present in all types of literature and even in movies or cartoons. The Simpsons, by Matt Groening is a long-running satirical cartoon about the adventures of a middle class family living in America.

that exist now bring forth that children’s TV-viewing time is increasing (Vaala & Hornik, 2014). For these reasons, coupled with the questions laid down in the paper, I watched one episode each of Dora the Explorer, SpongeBob SquarePants, and The Simpsons.

Hornady Manufacturing. This company’s headquarters is based in my hometown Grand Island NE. This company was founded in the 1940’s by Joyce Hornady. Shortly after WWII, Joyce teamed up with a partner, Vernon Speer and began buying equipment to remanufacturing spent shells.

The company was built from basically nothing to become currently one of the largest companies of ammunition

TV shows have come a long way over the last 50 years. Before the typical family involved a stay at home mom a working dad and two kids, boy and girl, but now working moms and stay at home dads same sex parents adopted children more than enough exes. Most families want to be the TV family that has everything that is perfect or not perfect but a perfect kids or parents. In the 1980s TV shows talked about the politics. In the 1990s a popular show came out called full house, this show put Mary-Kate

From the purpose of the show to the demographics to the advertising, House Hunters is successful all-around but when it reflects society what does it say? House Hunters is a strong reflection of society in several ways, the first being our society today is okay with making purchases on debt.

By using credit to purchase something

Stereotypes are present in both episodes whether they are from a gender stand point or a culture point of view. I believe what attracts viewers to these two shows is the family base, The Proud Family and George Lopez each describe their hard challenges they must confront as a family. The tagline for George Lopez states, “Family is forever. Sanity is only temporary,” (Helford, Lopez & Oppenheimer, Bullock, 2002) and for the The Proud Family states, “There’s no place like home, girl!” (Smith, 2001)

The show Modern Family is a sitcom that portrays three dissimilar, but related families who face problems in their own comedic ways. The show’s narrative mode closely resembles an episodic series, with plots standing on their own, with little need to watch the show from the beginning to understand what is happening. Since its debut in 2009, Modern Family has become an incredibly popular show and its appeal spans generations; furthermore, it is a show which challenged the typical portraits of the
