An American Family vs. Keeping Up with the Kardashians

An American Family vs. Keeping Up with the Kardashians Although these two faces depict contrasting judgment of conviction periods, they can arguably be a model for American subtlety or possibly a gauge in the temperature of what American culture looks like. In American Family there is a scene where cardinal of the young men is talking or so(predicate) California and how he feels about it. Just the use of his language or the words in which he chooses gives the audience an idea of the language that was used during that time period.Another example of this is when the family visits the artistic creation g all in allery. In the television show Keeping Up With the Kardashians although they ar rich, they too give a gauge of American culture through the route in which they talk as well as the activities in which they go about on a daily basis. These two shows are real different but are somewhat based upon the same set forth of being a truth show. An American Family was a 12 in stalment series that chronicled the lives of the Loud family of Santa Barbra, California (Ruoff, 1998).While Keeping Up with the Kardashians has run for 6 seasons so far since it began in 2007. This show is presented to viewers as humans TV but as mentioned in a prior family line it is more or less a sitcom and not capturing the family in a documentary style the way in which An American Family is. An American Family challenged traditional forms of documentaries and violated viewers expectations of what a documentary was supposed to be about (Ruoff, 1998). The way in which this show is shot and edited withal gives is more of a chronicle feel than a documentary style.I would ask that the way the it is broken into different episodes especially the time period of the 1970s would make it seem more of a narrative as during that time there werent many shows to compare its different, documentary style to. The show is centered on the upcoming divorce of the mother and father and this se ems to dig the story line as well. Although again it is not a sitcom, the narrative of the story seems a bit tampered with, as it is known that the parents will be divorcing very soon.Capturing the moments that lead up to the divorce can be considered to reverberate a narrative coordinate. Keeping Up with the Kardashians being based about the life of the Kardashian family with ongoing even offts that take place is nothing like An American Family. Although many Americans in 1973 may have been able to identify with the characters in An American Family it did not have a crazed pop culture appeal the way in which Keeping Up with the Kardashians does. This show has function somewhat of a brand but its realness or reality is questionable.Most of the happenings of the family are devised plans to collect audiences and maintain the following that they have. They typical sitcom structure of the show also gives away the reality part of the show. There is no truth or cinema verite in this s how its all just basically pre-planned by the producers. Their extravagant lifestyles and events dont even compare to the simplistic structure of the Loud family about to split because of the divorce. These shows are very different but on the surface seem besides because essentially the viewer is following the lives of a family.
