Sociology of The Simpsons

The definition of "family" in Simpsons sociology has changed dramatically with time. In many cases, the composition of the family is related to a specific culture, but as usual, there are exceptions to this rule. Since the golden age of television showed up in American culture, it has tried to imitate the "ideal" American family through that program. Early in the 1950s, television programmers produced programs that represent ideal American families.

In my sociological story I read the image of Homer Simpson and use his semiotic analysis to judge his personality. Also analyze the roles of two popular Simpsons (Mr. Homer Simpson and Mr. Burns) and the symbols used by these letters to represent pop culture and its value. You can see Homer's belly with all three pictures. Essentially, this may mean that Homer is lazy or his diet is poor, but without further analysis, the reader will make assumptions. The image on the left shows that Homer has a donut and there are missing people. Therefore the reader concluded that Homer is eating a donut. They will also notice his smiling face and will infer that he is very happy. Diet is not good as the reader can infer that he likes to eat foods containing fat, now considering his big belly and the smile of his face.

You may look at the title of this article and think about the great philosopher Homer, but in fact I am talking about Simpsons father, Homer Simpson. Like many donuts and fat people, many people think that he is drinking beer, he plays the easiest and most important role on today's television. Simpsons is the longest animated television program as they are easily related to everyday life and situation. Because of this, they are very popular all over the world and the United States.
