All in the Family vs. Two and a half Men

"All in the family was a family show in the 70's that dealt with issues of the 70's which are very different from the issues of today . A show that is from modern day TV that deals with a "family structure is "Two and a half Men".   Both of these shows are ways society sees issues that we feel need to be dealt with.
"All in the Family" deals with the family structure that was common also the beliefs and views of Gays and their lifestyle. People saw women differently and also  how they treated each other and their places in the family system are very different. The way that the actors portray their characters and the meaning behind each and what  they offer to make society think about was a big factor on what beliefs and people. The episode of "All in the Family"  that we watched  dealt with Gay's and how they live also it dealt with a Man's place and a woman's place and what each sex could or couldn't do.
"Two and a half men" is a show about a family structure after a divorce. It also deals with issues of a woman's place, femininity and also masculinity. "Two and a half Men" also "shows" how family "falls apart" and how it "falls together" after a divorce and how it affects a child. Jake portrays not only the child from a broken family but a child of modern day society. "Two and a half Men" depicts Men who are "mascukine as womanizers and men who can't stay in a relationship how their personalities can be feminine or the womanizer side of masculinity.
Both shows  have a family system, but whether is works or it doesn't matter because they portray a moment in time and all of society in a way that a lot of it is viewed.  Television shows are a way society tries to deal with and understand what has become norms and what isn't a norm in society.  The develop ment of ideas and how they are presented have changed, but they don't usually differ much in that the family and how it functions, that even if it doesn't work perfectly it is still a "family".
