Danny comforts his dauughter D.J. after recently hearing that her friends were critically injured. He comforts her by explaining to her the negative aspects of hanging around the wrong people. Danny helps D.J. recover from her tough day. 2) The people in Full House generally dress very conservative.The girls usually wear dresses while the guys generally wear a shirt and pants. Again, Danny (the father) is helping her daughter recover after hearing her friends were very injured in a car crash. 3) In full house, the dad takes the role of the mom and dad. The mom died when Danny's children were very young so Danny has to cook, clean, and take care of his children. media type="youtube" key="-Hy_FizF5zI" height="315" width="420" 1) I selected this clip from Step by Step because it shows how an American Family functioned back then. The dad comes homes from work while the mom cooks dinner. This video shows a family worked back then because the dad makes the money, while the mom takes care of the household needs. 2) Again, the all of the characters are dressed pretty conservative. The women wear skirts and dresses, while the men wear pants and a shirt. This episode explains how a family should have dinner together and spend time together. 3) In step by step, the dad works outside and generally makes the money while the mom takes care of the chores. The mom also works but I think it's only part time.

media type="youtube" key="diU5bm9wvjI" height="315" width="560" 1) I chose this clip from Modern Family because it shows how a current family today spends time together. They play fun games like charades and many others. Many people today do these activities in order to spend time with eachother. 2) The people in Modern Family dress very casual instead of conseravtive. These days, clothes are all about style instead of comfort. People have to stay in with the latest trends. The characters in this clip are trying to guess who the person is imitating by how they act and dress. 3) The mom and dad both go to work instead of just one going to work like the old days. Also, many children take on the role of chores in the house insead of just the mother. In the old days, it was about minorities and it's not anymore.

media type="youtube" key="YXeQ0LXC91Y" height="315" width="560" 1) I chose this clip from Blue Bloods because it resembles how a current family gets together and has a sunday dinner. Many families do this today in order to show their love for each other and interact with them. 2) Again, the people dress very casual instead of conservative. This family dinner, they talk about high standards and expectations which is taken more seriously these days, instead of back then. Going to college and getting a good job is kind of a standard now, unlike the old days where it didn't matter as much. 3) In this show, everyone works in a police department. The grandpa is the chief and his sons and daughters are officers and secretaries. This family strives on family values so no one has an exact role. Everyone contributes instead of the mom just doing chores, and the father working.
