Overall I learned a lot during this last EOTO Mock Trial. One thing that mainly stuck out to me that I learned was all the different television formats. I never knew there were so many television shows and I thought learning about it was so different and awesome.
The first format was the half-hour long situational comedy sitcom. This format demonstrates some of the greatest films that have been shown among its programs. This EOTO also taught me how much sitcoms have evolved. Sitcoms have grown from being a simple theatre to being more documentary style shows like Parks and Recreation.
Modern Sitcoms then began to stop focusing on their social commentators. This was a power that was used in older sitcoms like Chinco and All in Family. We then talked about the main character named Archie Bunker who was very loud and not that educated. We were also told that Archie believed every single stereotype that he has ever told.
Differently we also then learned about The Fair Housing Act of 1968 which was that African Americans as well as other minority groups were being denied basic housing rights. Minority groups struggled when it came to buying and renting homes. In my opinion I felt like this was such a shame that these people weren't allowed to have housing when everyone else in the world was able to. The landlords as well as the sellers would raise prices as well as so many other horrible things to refuse people from being able to live in avaible housing just being of their sex, race, or religion.
Lastly, we learned a lot about the civil rights act during this. It was discussed how The Fair Housing Act of 1968, was rejected by congress. This made people think that they would continue getting rejected whenever trying to pass other laws.
