Based on the reading, Disindentifications I chose to explore the relationship of Mitchell
and Cameron in the well-known tv show, Modern Family. I am responding to the
concern of expressing who you truly are beneath the explicit identifications
society gives you. This led me to choose this specific medium because of the accessibility
it holds to the topic at hand. The tv show gives way to the potential of what
it is to be a modern family, and the uniqueness it holds. I put Mitchell and Cameron’s
relationship in a time period much different from now to show how much the show
is forced to change. No longer can they openly express their love for each
other because of the fear driven by a hateful and ignorant nation. This in turn
ends up driving them away from each other because of how difficult the
relationship becomes. Being in the world we live in today, although not
perfect, we still see an overall acceptance of people to be who they want to
be; putting this show back into a time period when it seemed all were against the
minority group taught me to appreciate how far we’ve come as a nation, but how
much still has to be done.
