For the media viewing paper I decided to watch a movie and a television series. I chose the movie The Help, which was directed and written by Tate Taylor, and adapted from Kathryn Stockett's 2009 novel.

Don’t feel ashamed if you’ve never watched an episode of Shameless, or haven’t even heard of the Showtime series. The provocative and compelling comedy-drama has consistently been a sleeper hit; popular and in demand enough to be renewed for its sixth season, but still out of the spotlight in a way that allows the show to cast an accurate light on its darker plot and characters. Set in the south side of Chicago, the show follows alcoholic Frank Gallagher (Emmy-nominated William H. Macy) and his
Shameless defies the idea of a normal family home. The show challenges many of the societal ideals and the ideas that come with being a low-class family. The show covers the theoretical concepts of a one parent household, challenging the social ideas of a low-class family, the idea of being gay, and the idea of children working to keep the house running. In Shameless, the mother is no longer around and the dad is left alone with six kids. However, he does not seem to fit the mold of a single parent
Shameless Reflection Paper After watching the video “Shameless”, it got my mind thinking about how people of our community see people with disabilities. People with disabilities are just like you and me, but just need more time to do things. The video did a great job portraying how people with disabilities live their lives. Some things that really stuck with me were how people were quick to stereotype, how people with disabilities see themselves, and how hard working people with disabilities are

Shameless is a television series that I highly recommend because of its phenomenal acting and plot. The television serie shows every social taboo you can think of making it even more weird but intriguing. The unusual or raunchy behavior draws people into the show, constantly questioning, “Why would anyone ever do that?” The show also depicts what it is like to live in a less than advantageous environment and the struggles that go with it. It shows a daughter who steps up to take the role of an alcoholic

The acclaimed television show, Shameless, leaves a lot to be “bi-furious” about. During the seventh season, the token white gay male in the show, Ian Gallagher, gets into a relationship with a man named Caleb. All seems to be going well, until Ian gets suspicious about Caleb hanging out with his ex-girlfriend. “There’s no such thing as that, you are either gay or straight,” Ian firmly exclaims. “No one is 100% gay,” Caleb retorts. However, both of them are wrong. While Ian constantly expresses his

For Shameless, the themes that would jump out to a viewer are cycles of poverty and lack of social mobility. For example, when Lip
