- Media Representations of Family
What messages does popular culture give us about families today? About good/bad, functional/dysfunctional families? About parents and children, grandparents, extended family, working families, ‘non-traditional’ families? Do these messages help create norms around families or do they simply reflect family life today?
You will need to select a particular topic/example (such as same-sex families in tv sitcoms, or working mothers in print advertisements). You will then conduct a content analysis of the images/text at the pop culture site you have chosen. Some examples of pop culture sites include music videos, Valentine Day cards, cooking magazines, TV shows, and movies. You might also consider images of diverse families (e.g., by race, ethnicity, social class, religion, sexuality and so on).
A guide to conducting a content analysis is included below.

Images should be analyzed on several levels. Visual analysis is an important step in evaluating an image and understanding its meaning. It is also important to consider textual information provided with the image, the image source and original context of the image, and the technical quality of the image. The following questions can help guide your analysis and evaluation.
Content analysis
- What do you see?
- What is the image about?
- Are there people in the image? What are they doing? How are they presented?
- Can the image be looked at different ways?
- How effective is the image as a visual message?
Visual analysis
- How is the image composed? What is in the background, and what is in the foreground?
- What are the most important visual elements in the image? How can you tell?
- How is color used?
- Can the image be looked at different ways?
- What meanings are conveyed by design choices?
Contextual information
- What information accompanies the image?
- Does the text change how you see the image? How?
- Is the textual information intended to be factual and inform, or is it intended to influence what and how you see?
- What kind of context does the information provide? Does it answer the questions Where, How, Why, and For whom was the image made?
Image source
- Where did you find the image?
- What information does the source provide about the origins of the image?
- Is the source reliable and trustworthy?
- Was the image found in an image database, or was it being used in another context to convey meaning?

MINI PAPER FOUR-THEORIES
Pick four different shows that depict a family. Each show needs to be different in some way (such as a single-headed household, divorced, step-families, nuclear families, grandparents raising children, etc) and at least one must be a different race or ethnicity. You may select two shows that are cartoons (if they are depicting a family such as the “Simpsons” or “The Proud Family”) yet these cartoons cannot be used as the shows used for your different race or ethnicity requirement.
For each show, you need to select one of the theoretical perspectives related to marriage and the family that are described in the text and explain the way in which the theory can be related to the depiction of the family. You must explain how the theory relates to the family in each show. Make sure that you use functional theory and conflict theory for 2 of the shows. Make sure you discuss the relationship between spouses, parents and children and siblings. Discuss the emotional, economic as well as issues of gender relations for each fictional family. For example, if you are looking at the Cosby Show you can explain that the family is a functional family, in that each member of the family is serving a different purpose, the parents are providing economic stability and emotional support and they are procreating. This paper needs to be at least one to two pages per theoretical perspective and no more that 8 papers total for the entire assignment.
