"Modern Family" is important to talk about now because you can see that the show goes against the ideal family. This show has three different families all tied into one family. The three families are two gay guys with an adopted daughter, a multicultural family with a stepfather, and a traditional family. Even the traditional family is going against the ideal family. This show is a critic to dominant ideology.
"Modern Family" is based everyday lives that the writers have and we can all relate to in some way. The show is very funny and surprises you every time. One of the families is gay; they are both guys who have adopted an Asian girl. Another family is an old guy who marries a younger Hispanic female who has a son. The last family is more of the traditional family than all of them but still is not the ideal family.
They say the ideal family is a mom, dad, daughter, and a son. Also that the mom and dad are close in age and have good healthy kids but we all know that does not really work in the real world. Some examples are that show this show is going against dominant ideology of family values by the diversity and who they marry like there is a gay and a multicultural family.http://www.imdb.com/

Modern Family was a great choice for critics against the dominant ideology for family values and the "ideal family." It really shows how you can't make a general list of family values, it wouldn't fit every family and that is why Modern Family is a great critic of the "ideal family."
Modern family is a great show that portrays against dominant ideology. It shows the ups and downs diverse families go through. Great reference!
