Why Boy Meets World is the best show.

Purpose: To tell the class why Boy Meets World was the best TV show of the 90’s and still is a good source of fun and lessons.
Introduction: TV shows today are not family shows. When was the last time you sat down with your family and watched a show, without getting a little creeped out? For me that was back in the 90’s TV show from the 90’s are better family shows and have more lessons that help us all in our daily lives. And in 1996 and little family sitcom call Boy Meets World come around causing millions of kid, teens and parents to sit down and be together for thirty minutes.
Thesis: TV show from the 90’s are better family shows and have more lessons that help us all in our daily lives. And in 1996 and little family sitcom call Boy Meets World come around causing millions of kid, teens and parents to sit down and be together for thirty minutes.
Preview Statement: Today I will be talking about why out of all the shows from the 90’s Boy Meets World was not only one of the most influence TV shows of the 90’s but how lessons of friendship and love that the show gave off still help those that watched the show great.
Main Points:
Boy meets World is known to be one of the influential show’s of the 90’s. It was one of the few shows that engrossed the audience not only the young kids that watched the show, but the parents too. I remember being a young kid and my whole family would sit down and watch this show, laugh, cry and feel for these characters. You grew to know them like no other characters. They felt like family, like friends that you let in your lives for thirty minutes once every week. The covered everything that a teen need to knows. How to deal with a the gaps between social classes. Sex. Alcoholism. And even the subject of a teacher coming on to a student.
Transition Statement #1:It wasn’t just the fact that it was family friendly or that fact that it engrossed you it was the lessons

    Just like the teacher from earlier, being one who was affected by the over-indulgence of T.V., she is not the only one. Winn concludes, that the effects of the television has harmed family relationships by eliminating opportunities for conversation, and other interactions. Whether it be conversing over daily activities, or arguing about internal issues, these opportunities have diminished because of television being the distraction. Winn used a mother as a reference because the mother’s solution to her kids fighting was to turn on the T.V., and ignore the issue. Another thing that was noted when it comes to children and television, is the loss of real life experiences. Children who watch too much television become so attached to the T.V. personality, and lose the ability to respond to real people because of the lack of interest. Winn’s use of logos in parts of her argument are used effectively to put actual reason behind how television is causing a lack of…

    Last week, I wrote about what I thought about the word “culture”, what it meant to me, and how it related of coming of age. I discussed on how culture to me meant the customs and beliefs of your past generation passed on to you and creating that to your image. This week I’ve now realized there are many other factors of culture that influence our way of life. Pop culture plays a big role if not more on who we are and how we behave. I discovered that many aspects like television and social media affect culture and change it frequently. In Tim Delaney’s ‘Pop Culture: An Overview’ he mentioned “popular culture encompasses the most immediate and contemporary aspects of our lives. These aspects are often subject to rapid change, especially in a highly…

    For most Americans, watching television is a part of everyday life. According to the Bureau of Labor and Statistics, Americans spend more than 5 hours everyday watching television (Bls.gov, 2015). When Sesame Street first appeared on television in 1969, there were more than 12 million children in the United States. Many of those children “did not attend any form of school” (Ball et al. pg.1 para.1). In order to accommodate the delay in public education for all students, private and public agencies created the Children’s Television Workshop. The goal of the Children’s Television Workshop was to “entertain children and foster their intellectual and cultural development” (Ball et al. p. 2 para.1). Agencies decided to create a television show for the following reasons: Firstly, Television was accessible to many Americans. Secondly, children learn from television. This is evident when children sing jingles from commercials, or can recognize words they see on television. The Children’s Television Workshop launched in 1968 and began setting instructional goals for it’s educational program entitled “Sesame Street.”…

    Sociological Perspective

    Looking at this from a symbolic interaction perspective television shows like “The Simpsons” and “Family Guy” portrays the typical dysfunctional American family where the father is a negligent alcoholic, the mother is a home-maker, and the children are socially awkward. We feel that individuals in society tend to mimic these behaviors since they think behaviors demonstrated by the characters are cool. Another perfect example is teens smoking cigarettes because commercials lead teenagers to believe it is the cool thing to do. While courses provided on “The Joy of Garbage” and “The History of Shopping” can be informative, it has been hard to understand the validity of college courses on “The Simpsons” and “Philosophy.” Many people have different opinions and cultures that would think of these television shows as being productive and entertainment. Depending on different cultures and individuals points of view the norms and values demonstrated in these television shows may help shape our society.…

    Deviance on Television

    • 1049 Words

    I chose this particular show, because of one key reason. Secret Life of the American Teenager explores a teenage taboo. It is reflective of a new strain in American morality that accepts teenage sexual exploration, teenage pregnancy, and all other forms of deviance and misconduct. When Secret Life first debuted, it was supposed to be a “cautionary’ tale about teenage pregnancy, but it is handled more like a deviant soap opera. Not only does an abstinence-only, pro-life agenda appear to be advocated, but that Secret Life also portrays negative historical stereotypes about gender, race, and sexuality. This programming depicts adolescent sexuality in terms of a heterosexual script which situates traditional gender roles as prohibited by hegemonic masculinity as the norm, as well as reinforces a sexual and racial double standard.…
