Grey’s Anatomy is a television series that has been around for several years. “The medical drama series focuses on a group of doctors at a hospital in Seattle, including several who began their careers at the facility as interns. One of the doctors and the show's namesake, Meredith Grey, is the daughter of a well known surgeon. She struggles to maintain relationships with her colleagues, particularly the hospital's one-time chief of surgery, Richard Webber, due to a pre-existing relation he had with her mother when Meredith was young.”Grey’s anatomy is not just a drama based television series, it's a series that portrays romance as well. There are love stories on each and every one of the characters in the show. Most of the interns fall in love with their bosses. Like on the very first episode, the first scene was a one night stand that Meredith has with her soon to be boss. She was surprised to see him at work on her very first day of internship. I like this show because of the characters. Each and every characters in portrayed perfectly. In my opinion they are the best actors I’ve seen. One of my favorite characters in the show is Meredith Grey. She acts as the girl whose childhood was ruined due to her mother's career. Even though her childhood wasn't so good she …show more content…
still decides to be a surgeon. She spent the same amount of hours her mother did when she was still a surgeon. Her mother ruined her childhood and also almost ruins her career. Her mother becomes diagnosed with alzheimer's right before she becomes an intern. She becomes criticized about how good she should be because of who her mother is. She still stays strong as a character. She continues to be who she is no matter what people tell her. Meredith Grey is a very much liked character even with her up and down she has. She is like a broke toy that still works. She is that one friend who always does something wrong but is still loved by many. That's why her character works so well. There are good and bad reviews on this show. Some of the good reviews are mainly on the characters. One of the characters that are mainly talked about is Miranda Bailey played by Chandra Wilson. She gets portrayed as the supervisor of the interns. At first she is very rude to them but only for their good. Then as the show comes along she is very wise and understanding as person. People call her “a very well played roll” and “an incredibly folded out character”. She brings the show a little sass to look forward to. I also think she is a very well played character. Bailey is a likable character in every seen. She plays a role that can't be played by anyone but her. She should never be killed of or be taken out the show, As for good reviews there is always bad ones in question. There is always one group of people who don't like something everyone else find amusing. Season ten has all the bad reviews. The fans hate the fact that most of their favorite characters have either died of or left the show. One of the most recurring bad reviews was the fact that Bailey (Chandra Wilson), had OCD. They portrayed her OCD as if she had it for years. Views have called it “ridiculous” and “unnecessary”. She also plays a big role as an African American woman. In one of the episodes she a patient didn't want her to perform surgery on her because of the color of her skin. “ The Grey's creative team has made smart decisions in how i handles issues that are culturally important and relevant to a larger conversation at any given time, in ways that nevertheless make sense for the show.”(Rakesh Satyal). Grey's Anatomy is one of the best shows of all time.
It's a show that strongly supports the LBGT group. It portrays the relationship of two of the main female roles in the show. “Most shows don't really support or show the LBGT character at most.”(Rajesh Satyal) The show reviles the struggles most Gay, lesbian,bisexual, and Transgender people go through. There is also talk about one of the characters leaving because of this. Even with all the bad reviews there is always a reason to love this show. It's an enjoyable binge watching shows. There are all the seasons from season one to 12 on Netflix. Don't give up on it though it gets boring at times but always gets better and
better.
It has taught me to never give up hope, even when times are hard. My favorite character is Vivian. I liked her a lot because in her life, she has been through some dark times. As a young girl, she was always loving. When she grew older, that same love never died, but flourished. After getting to know Molly, she gave her that same love that she always had. Even though Vivian is an older woman, she heart never grew
As I continue to watch the show, I find myself identifying myself with some of the characters. Sometimes I even find myself thinking
This show lacks diversity. The majority of characters are heterosexual, white, and middle class. The only exception is Fez, an immigrant and the only coloured person on the show. Throughout the show, Fez is depicted as stupid, and as something to laugh at; the backing track laughs after almost everything he says. As far as I could tell, there are no queer characters, or any mention of queer issues, in these episodes.
Overall the film was a very informative film for a more homophobic audience. The content was relatable and connected well with the information and discussions that have been within our society for a long time. It was a well-done film that really questions the homophobic opinions and while this is still a very real debate in today’s society the film does a great job at arguing the homophobic opinions.
The film presents the stereotypical behavior of gay men that is evident in our society. Many of the costumes are designed to highlight the characters and the way they live. For example, Bernadette wears long flowing clothes usually white or an off cream. ‘She’ is an older ‘women’ and dresses to look like one with flowing skirts and tops with her hair done up simply.
... for your life. If a woman wants to be a housewife who focuses on raising her children or a career woman, it is her choice ultimately. If a man wants to be equally involved in his career and family, it should be his choice too. It should not matter what the gender stereotype is and this show helps women and men believe that the individual feeling is often more important than the typical societal belief.
...s the idea that these characters are more than the stereotype associated with them, as the audience learns more about them as the episode and show continues. The text challenges our society’s ideas about gender norms because the heterosexual main male character challenges these roles by joining Glee Club. He does this regardless of the social consequences that followed. This episode should stand as a guide for future television shows to better society and break down our harmful ideologies causing barriers between sexualities and individuals. Finally, do not let the “herd take care of it” (Glee).

In the late 1980s when the film was created, the LGBT community faced many stigmas. Subjects in the film spoke about the harsh treatment that they endured due to stereotypes. People in mainstream society were not fully comfortable with the idea of homosexuality due to its lack of publicity in the media. It was rare at that time to have homosexual characters on television, and many athletes and professionals did not come out due to fear of judgment. Because of this, people who were openly part of the LGBT community faced discrimination. The Harlem ball circuit allowed the subjects to embrace their sexuality and come together as minorities. The mutual bonds that the minorities shared provided a judgment-free zone to enjoy themselves and form lasting
Grey’s Anatomy is a medical drama that encompasses the professional and personal lives of interns and residents as they strive to become surgeons. The beginning of the series focuses on one intern, Meredith Grey, who is taking part in the residency program at Seattle Grace Hospital. Throughout the seasons the backgrounds, and aspirations of the characters are explored, while following their present day lives. The series is based off of the doctors everyday lives, but concerns itself mostly with their personal lives, using their professional lives as a backdrop to character development. The medical cases aid the plot of the series most often by the patients saying things that relate back to the dilemmas the characters are going through. This along with the relationships between colleagues connects work to personal life, often mixing professional and private relationships into one.
Its shows why things are cultural appropriation by showing the response of different public figures who have been accused of cultural appropriation. It gives examples of actions that’s are cultural appropriation. Its show how things that seem to be stereotypes are more than that it’s a form of racial oppression put upon only the African American community.
The writers of medical dramas are creative in that they find ways to make scrubs “sexy,” however, this attribute of the female nurse ultimately leads to their mistreatment by the shows’ men. The physicians in the show...
It seems like a revolution and challenge for the existing gender roles encouraging men to be more caring and assertive about their emotions and women to be a little bit stronger and not overly emotional.
Medical interns are surgical residents working to become doctors, so their jobs are very complicated and specific, which may have conflicts along the way such as competition between workers and an overloaded schedule. When Meredith finally gets to the hospital, she walks in while the chief of surgery is giving a very extensive speech that includes the words, “The seven years you spend here as a surgical resident will be the best and worst years of your life. You will be pushed to your breaking point. Look around you, say hello to your competition.” He then also mentions to them about the stress, the long hours, the pressure, and the deaths they will be experiencing throughout the years. He ends the speech saying how
Media portrayal of the LGBT community is varying. It may be very positive and a “good” portrayal or negative and instead focuses on the stereotypical aspects of the LGBT community. One definition of a good LGBT television portrayal is one that depicts an LGBT character without over glaringly obviousness of their sexual orientation, or without adding many LGBT stereotypes that are all too often added.
