American Dad is a show aired late night, a cartoon for teenagers and adults. The show perpetuates the ideology of how a man is supposed to be, and what he is supposed to do. Stan, the main character and father, works for the CIA and is shown as incredibly muscular and big. He has a deep voice, proudly wears the American Flag, and is the sole provider for his family.
His son, Steve, is a sympathetic “cry-baby”, but Stan, being the perfect “American Dad”, has to make his son into a man by hammering the ideology of the perfect “American Man” into his head. The perfect man in America is usually big, muscular, handsome, rich, and brave, and all of these qualities describe Stan.
I agree the ideology that people have to fit the ¨perfect American Dad¨ is really displayed in American Dad and that is something that we have to stay away from because not every one can fit that norm. Nice Job with this blog.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the ideology that men have to be in America. American dad is a great example for this.
