Hi 'mums'!! Im a student at university and I am studying the way the family is portrayed in British soap operas such as Eastenders and Cornation Street...so if you are a fan I would love your input? Im desperate to know how you guys feel about the portrayals of family life. I would love it if you could possibly just give me some brief answers to any of my questions or just let me know how you feel on the subject!
How far do you think the portrayal of different knids of family life within soaps reflects real life circumstances?
Do you think soaps and the families within them provide a role model for society?
Can you identify with any of the characters on either Eastenders or Corrie?
Do you think 'the family' in general is in a state of crisis within Britain at the moment? If so why?
What are your views as to the 'ideal' type of family form? Do you think it is best for parents to be married when they have children? Do you feel children benefit with two parents or do they do just as well in life in a single-parent family? etc
Thanks so much for taking the time to read this and I would be soooooo grateful for any replies! Take care! Bye!
