Topic Choices
1. Choose two television shows about the American family broadcast during different decades (i.e. Family
Matters or Fresh Prince vs Black-ish) and write an essay analyzing each show’s portrayal of the family. What
cultural myths or ideologies about the family does each show represent? How does each show illustrate
cultural norms and values of the period in which the show aired? You might also choose two contemporary
shows about the American family and analyze the portrayals and relationships in each show (i.e. Family Guy
and the Simpsons).
2. Choose a minority group (i.e. people of color, people with disabilities, LGBTQ+ individuals, religious
minorities, ETC. and think about how that group is treated when pursuing work in your chosen career field.

advancement in the field, ETC. when compared with non-minority individuals, but consider that other factors
such as race or disability might compound gendered issues.
