shows change

As time has changed so has the entertainment that has been on television. Back in the 70’s and 80’s talking down on another race was acceptable to society. As the late 80’s and early to mid-90 came around the so called “minority” stood up for themselves and their rights. Now during our generating of people the topic of race isn’t much of an issue. In fact in my opinion I feel that there are more shows that portray the white race as the struggling race now. Most shows now are about a blue collar couple that is trying to support a family. For example, Grounded For life, Still Standing, and According to Jim are all about simple families with parents with not much education trying to live a semi normal lifestyle. They are trying to raise kids to the best of their ability with the knowledge that they know. I think as the times change they base it off of what parents and families go through. In the next 15-20 years these shows are going to be based off of people like our generation. Parents with an education and having a successful life, but struggle to relate to their children because times have changed and we will be out of the loop of what society views as acceptable.
