Deciphering men
Purpose – The growing public anxiety towards the end of the twentieth century that men were “in crisis” was articulated in popular-cultural texts. The purpose of this paper is to examine the TV family sitcom Modern Family , in order to explore the ways that it constructs the masculine post-9/11.

Accordingly, any festive activity, such as dancing, on such a day would be regarded as inappropriat…
