The purpose of this blog is to have one cohesive summary of the findings of the CAS 100C Social Norms Investigation group. Here we will have video logs of experiments we carry out, summaries and comments we wish to make, examples from the media we've found of typical social norms (or of people breaking them), and anything else we find or do that might be relevant. Happy reading!

New Moms and Dads: Same sex parents
Here is a clip from Modern Family where Cam and Mitchell discuss how people aren't sure how to handle them because they are same sex parents, new territory for most.

This clip was so hilarious! Same sex parents are more and more common in today's society and I know that many people are used to seeing that. With surrogate mothers and implantation, same-sex couples can have as many kids as they would like. In my opinion, it's okay to raise a child with two mothers or two fathers because love is love no matter who it's coming from and thats probably a child's greatest need to grow up to be a positive member of society.
ReplyDeleteThis clip really illustrates heteronormativity and the inflexibility of gender roles, too.
