Moving to "The New Normal"

Do to the new weekly feature that my team as added to our blog I decided to talk more about the show that we are featuring for our weekly blog. The New Normal is a show that depicts the change taking place in society. This is a show that addresses more than just one issue. Though two of the main characters are gay and many gay issues are addressed in the show there are many other issues that the show also addresses but the overall them that they show is addressing is equality. This is a show that does a great job at not bring light and exposure to issues but shows how those issues affect people. This is important because for many people they will feel a certain way about people and their beliefs and they will also make sure to let everyone know how they feel. What they often do not see is the fallout of their remarks and how it affected the people they were discriminating. The grandmother in the show is someone that is stuck in her ways and is extremely raises and prejudice. I feel that this is essential for the show because it shows that there are still many people in the world that feel the same way as she does. However the show also shows how when people are strong and stand up for what they believe in then people can begin to have a change of heart. The fact that she is older is also important because it shows that even after spending most to all of one’s life viewing something in a certain way there is still the ability to change after becoming aware of the facts and truth. Here is a quick extended version of the trailer about the show.

 

 

As you can see from the trailer it does a good job of addressing many issues that are still very relevant in our society. It is also showing the change that is taking place in our society. It brings to light the need and importance of equality among all people. I feel that this show is a perfect show to be featured on our blog. This is what our blog is about. It is about equality. Growing up in California I feel that I have been exposed to many cultures and views. I have also been blessed to go to a high school and college that is very diverse and I feel that seeing how people can accomplish so much when differences are put aside further made me want to fight for equality of all people. The greatest way to prevent success is trough division. It speaks to the notion of divide and concern. This show does a great job at showing how when we come together we can all help to ensure that we are all successful and we can all accomplish our dreams and then in turn help to ensure that others are able to accomplish their dreams.
