Reflection Paper On All In The Family
Reflection Paper on "All in the Family"
I really enjoyed the lecture I saw on Monday. I have seen the show before, and I have always enjoyed it. Archie Bunker is one of my favorite characters from television sitcoms. I like how all the people in the family represent an aspect of political and social stereotypes of the time.
There are many instances in the episodes that we watched that show the stereotype that each character represents. One of the funniest characters in the show is Archie's wife Edith.

At the same time when you watch Edith, start to appreciate all the stuff that housewives do to help out, and all that my mother does for me when I'm gone.
Archie's son in law and his daughter also represent a stereotype of that time. They represent kids that grew up in the aftermath of the Civil Rights Movement. His son in law and daughter are very opinionated when it comes to politics and racism. They are all for the new times of equality. They are constantly arguing with Archie about who should be doing what, and what is the politically right way of doing things. You can see this when they are talking with him about the blood bank. Archie didn't want to go because he didn't know where his blood would go. He also doesn't believe that you can mix black and white blood. His...
