September 15 Glee

The television show Glee in my opinion is breaking new ground, although in some ways it still rehashes old stereotypes and stock characters. In this first episode, we encounter a high school which is ruled by the jocks and cheerleaders and everyone else does not matter to the principal. This has been very uncommon in television shows but very popular in movies such as She's All That or Bring it On. In Glee we see a professor who is interested in getting students to feel motivated and follow their own dreams. Most other television shows are focused on the students rather than on the adults who should be there to help the students pull through the adversities of life and the moments of depression so that they can achieve their full potential. Currently on television we see shows such as Smallville and Supernatural. In Smallville, the show is mostly about Clark, a figment of Superman, who is trying to live a normal live as a normal kid, falling in and out of love, but also saving his friends and family members from the threat that is posed from his past. The Supernatural show is about two brothers who are in search of discovering the supernatural things that govern their world to bring order to the world by eliminating any threat that is posed. As we can see, Glee is completely focused on a club that accepts everybody and anybody who is willing to join. It is very difficult at first because you can see the rivarly that is always present between human beings and the fear people experience when they think they are going to be humilated by their peers. The professor is trying to get everyone together so that the club can put on a good show and does whatever he has to do to get the students he needs to join. We can see that, although he felt bad about it, he pushed a student to join the club by black mailing him into losing everything he had and terminating in explusion because he found a pack of marijuana in his locker, which he had placed there in order to accuse him. The student did like music but since he is a jock he was afraid that he would be shamed by his friends. This feeling is common among adolescents because they want to feel accepted by their peers. This show is very similar to the movies that have been produced in the pop culture but it is very different in the shows that have been airing along with it.
