The audio for this program is captured in a way that is perceived and experienced, creating an entire audio-visual dimension of the show. The audio of the show purely involved the significance of the content the host is talking about and shining light on.

Although both The Goldbergs and The Twilight Zone address controversial issues such as gender roles, insanity, and ethnic stereotypes, genre differentiates their approach and their audiences’ receptiveness to change. Whereas The Goldbergs, an ethnic sitcom, addresses the external world using comedic relief, The Twilight Zone, a science fiction program, delves into the human mind using imagination.

From 1949 to 1956, The Goldbergs dominated television as the first televised sitcom.

In our culture, people get wrapped up in the major events in our life, the events that are planned, that are believed to hold our true happiness.

She believes those are the moments that hold the most gratitude. By the use of descriptive language to describe the setting, Mary Oliver begins by implying that the poem is taking place in a forest without directly saying so.
