I chose to watch the TV show George Lopez. I enjoy watching this show because it helps me relax and laugh after a long day. There are several core values that are depicted in this show. The main core values that were expressed in this episode include achievement and success, material comfort, conformity, and youthfulness.
Achievement and success were said to be valued in this episode by Gloria, or Angie's sister. Gloria was going through a divorce and she was feeling low and not very successful because of her situation. Her father kept telling her that she was a very successful woman and she just needed to keep up her confidence in order to stay that way. This shows that success is a core value that Americans tend to want.
Material comfort was another core value that the characters wanted. Gloria consistently married rich and wealthy men and had many expensive clothes and other items that made her value material goods.
Conformity was another example of one of the depicted values. Angie was telling Gloria how she should stop going after rich, and somewhat shallow men, and try going with a more level headed guy like her husband George. This would be an example of conformity if Gloria listens to Angie and does what she said to do.
Finally, youthfulness was another example of a value depicted in this episode. It was Angie's birthday and she went through a lot of effort to look and feel young. This was shown in how she dressed, how she acted, and how she tried to look younger than her age.
These are the main values that were depicted in the show George Lopez.
