Arlie Hochschild \u201cThe Second Shift\u201d
Use the concepts of Hochschild\u2019s theory to analyze Season 1, Episode 6 of Shameless (Killer
Carl). Remember that not only is it important to discuss how families\/individuals from the show
exemplify the concepts in the theory, but also to discuss the limitations of the theory for
understanding the personal\/family dynamics of the individuals in the show and making
suggestions for how the theory could be extended to include these folks. Also, there are multiple
individuals and at least three families, so please do not focus on one person. This is an analysis
of the family dynamics portrayed in the show, not one individual.
