Hum-TV and The American Family questions
1. For Lois and Virginia, family photographs are very important: moments fixed in time. What about their families makes these mothers yearn for these moments?
Lois and Virginia are middle aged women that realize that moments in time are precious because they go by so fast and so does time. Pictures are an important documentation of these memories is past memories that can never be recaptured. Even though Lois and Virginia have chaotic lives they long for the times they spent with their children when they were younger and less jaded. Their children are older and they no longer need their mothers as they did in the past when those memories were made. Family photographs show the times when the family was together making memories, good or bad. Lois and Virginia yearn for these times because these moments are fleeting and can never be recaptured.
2. Which of these two programs (Malcolm in the Middle or Raising Hope) is more straightforward and naturalistic? Explain.
Malcolm is the middle is more straightforward and realistic portrayal of the American family. In Malcolm in the Middle the family consists originally of four sons and two parents forced to work long hours at menial jobs to feed and clothe these children. The children are not properly supervised which leads them into getting into all types of mischief. The trouble the boys get in ends up affecting their parent negatively. In Raising Hope the family is caring for a baby born out of marriage and an elderly parent which can be a part of a typical American family but the show is less naturalistic and has more fantasy than Malcolm in the Middle. For example the episodes when they thought the baby was going to become a serial killer like her executed mother.
3. Malcolm in the Middle: In "Sleepover," it is obvious that Stevie has "helicopter parents." What does this term mean? What are the possible ramifications of such behavior?
Helicopter parents are parents that constantly hover over their children not giving them an opportunity to do anything for themselves. The helicopter parent is always worried about their child and will rarely take their focus of the child. Many helicopter parents deny their children the opportunity to do things other children do with normal parents. Lois and Hal are not helicopter parents but they are the complete opposite. The helicopter parent will over-parent while Hal and Lois under-parent. The way the helicopter parent is excessive. They are over concerned, over controlling, and overprotective (Bayless, 2014). When a child is constantly shadowed by their parent they do not learn to become independent and act for themselves. It is important for parents to allow their children to try thing and make mistakes so that they can cope as independent individual when out in society without their parents. If not they will grow up depen.

A place where you could be popular, where you could be liked, and connect with everyone all over the world; a Cyber world. In today's society social media is the pinnacle of communication. If you don't have a social media account, you are considered an outcast, and or society tells you that you are missing out on the real world. But, ironically the more you are connected to social media, the more disconnected you are with the real world. Society has made it known that to be more likable on Facebook and Instagram gains you popularity, and therefore your whole entire outlook on life of even fitting in , is based on the likes you get on social media.
Understandable that it does connect you with friends and family. but i feel that because you are being more concerned with connecting with them that you ignore whats around you. Your immediate family, we tend to neglect. One of the saddest views i seen going to a dinner, was witnessing a couple on their date, and the whole time they were sitting across from each other, they were on their phone; not only on it, but they were glued to it. No conversation was flowing, not one word was even said. It was very sad because we had dinner for about one hour, and not even a peep. I recall that the only thing they talked about, was a pic on social media. Also, when their food got to the table they made sure they took a picture of it and post it up. Even after that, it took them another 10 or so minutes just post it up and get the perfect picture to share online with their friends and family.
We neglect the immediate for the satisfaction of connecting with the ones that aren't even around. Yet, we magnify how we love our family.

Total views: 9 (Your views: 1)Facebook is something that I have been aware of since elementary school. Girls in my classes would take the same pictures together and tag each other. When high school came along, more people were on Facebook and older kids in my classes would be logged into their Facebook accounts on their laptops. Teachers warned us about Facebook, specifically, about losing our identity and to be watchful of cyber-bullying. This led me to have a Facebook account in name only because it was extra credit for my 10th grade English class and my teacher wanted the entire class to friend him. Facebook and it’s other incarnations disconnect people from one another and lead to a false presentation that does not entirely represent a person’s true self.

Gender-Free Baby: Is it O.K. for Parents to Keep Their Child’s Sex a
Secret?
By Bonnie Rochman May 25, 2011 2 Comments
If pregnancy were a musical composition, finding out whether y ou’re
hav ing a boy or a girl would be the coda. Indeed, “Do y ou know what
y ou’re hav ing?” is probably the question lobbed most frequently at
pregnant women, right up there with, “When are y ou due?” So news
that a Canadian couple is raising their third child “genderless” in what
amounts to a grand social experiment has set parental tongues a-
wagging.
Gender is so central to parents’ concept of their unborn children that
most moms- and dads-to-be can’t ev en wait until deliv ery day to
learn what they ’re hav ing. A 2007 Gallup poll found that 66% of 18-
to-34 -y ear-olds said they would choose to learn their baby ’s sex
before seeing their newborn’s birthday suit for the first time.
Y et Kathy Witterick and her husband, Dav id Stocker, hav e kept their
baby Storm’s gender a secret. T he only people who know are one
family friend and Storm’s older brothers, Jazz, 5, and Kio, 2. (Not surprisingly , the two midwiv es who
deliv ered Storm on New Y ear’s Day are in the know as well.)
A lengthy feature last week in the T oronto Star profiled the family and their quest to raise their baby unfettered by the rules of pinks and blues. T he
couple began by sending out an email after Storm’s birth: “We’v e decided not to share Storm’s sex for now — a tribute to freedom and choice in place
of limitation, a stand up to what the world could become in Storm’s lifetime (a more progressiv e place? …).”
(More on T ime.com: Rutgers Okay s ‘Gender-Neutral’ Dorm Rooms to Help Gay s Feel Safer)
Although they ’re confident that they ’re giv ing their child the gift of freedom from social norms, others are not as certain. Some hav e worried about
Storm being bullied or teased, and friends fretted the couple was using their baby to fulfill their own ideological longings. Many Star readers were
outraged as well:
“Never has an article left me so upset. These parents are turning their children into a bizarre lab experiment,” wrote Heather Reil in
an email.
“The world around us has been set by thousands of years of social evolution. To try to undo this evolution through your child is very
selfish and very inconsiderate to the child,” said Wayne Leung.
Y et Stocker and Witterick take issue with what they see as parents promoting gender stereoty pes. “What we noticed is that parents make so many
choices for their children. It’s obnoxious,” say s Stocker.

Welcome to the Program Your Destiny course. In this course, we will be learning the technology of personal transformation, neuroassociative conditioning (NAC) as pioneered by Tony Robbins. NAC is used to deprogram negative neuroassociations that are causing approach avoidance and instead reprogram yourself with positive neuroassociations that lead to being approach automatic. In doing so, you change your destiny, moving towards unlocking the hypersocial self within, the true self free from fear and operating from a place of personal power and love.
1. THE VISITOR BYS.S.S.N<br />CONTENTS PAGE<br />PAGE 3: CAST LIST, TECHINCAL INFORMATION, OVERVIEW OUTLINE<br />PAGE 4: OUTLINE (BEGINNING, MIDDLE AND END), SYNOPSIS<br />PAGE 5: SYNOPSIS CONTINUED <br />THE VISITOR<br />CAST LISTYoung childBabysitterMotherFather<br />TECHNICAL INFORMATION- Set: Present Time- Location: Outskirts of London- Rating (BBFC): 15- Film Running Time: 127 Minutes <br />OVERVIEW OUTLINEThe lifestyle of a very busy/wealthy mother and father has driven them into hiring an inexperienced, young, and cheap au pair. Their sociable and playful child takes to the au pair with no issues. It isn’t until the parents begin to become extremely over protective of the child that the child minder begins to clock unnatural/unrealistic aspects of what seems to be the ‘perfect’ family. The child seems to become increasingly stressed and show signs of catatonic behaviour. This includes not answering to his name when called by the child minder and drawing pictures of another family in a completely different location. When the au pair overlooks the child’s behaviour, she begins to become extremely close to the child, gaining his trust. Once the loyalty between the pair has formed the au pair begins her own investigation into the so called ‘Bridges’ family and their unexpected past begins to unravel. <br />OUTLINE<br />BEGINNING: The busy lifestyle of wealthy middle-class parents leads them to hiring a young au pair, who becomes looked upon by the parents as an all round life-saver.<br />MIDDLE: As the child minder adapts to the needs of the family, suspecting that something is wrong, she turns directly to the child in attempt to gain his trust and get information out of him. This results in a series of clues forming which leads her to believe that the family is not a genuine representation of who they portray themselves to be.<br />END: As the clues form to a shocking reality, the au pair herself reveals that she is not a babysitter at all but someone who knows a lot about the ‘perfect’ Bridges family.<br />SYNOPSIS: The story is based around a lavish family set in the city of London. A mother and father who both have very busy and constructive jobs are forced to hire an inexperienced au pair who seems perfect for looking after their only child. She is bubbly and friendly and keen to learn deeply about the Bridges family. The child (Charlie of five years) automatically takes to the child minder which seems to strike corruption with the parents, especially the mother. As this behaviour continues to adapt, the parents become increasingly protective which makes the babysitter believe that something is not what it seems. <br />Furthermore, in attempt to find out the truth lurking behind the family, the au pair cleverly becomes worryingly close to the child in apparent order to gain his trust and find out information from him. As their bond develops and becomes exceedingly close, clues begin to form which add up to an unexpected reality. <br />The child minder, after collecting enough clues to disadvantage the family, gradually begins to alert the parents that she knows more about them than they may think. Stunningly to the audience, it then becomes clear that the ideal ‘Bridges’ family do not go by that name at all, but are in the hands of witness protection and on the run from a terrible crime that they witnessed. However, the twist does not end there. Once it is revealed that the family have changed their identity we begin to learn that the au pair herself has many hidden secrets. The question left to answer, is who are the family on the run from?<br />
