The Simpsons is an animated television series that has been aired in America for over 20 years, and is one of the well known animated families in the world. The Simpsons is portrayed as somewhat dysfunctional family living in the fictional suburb of Springfield. This animation brings up many important issues about family values, and often raises controversy in the real world when the animated characters question reality. The significance of the family and its role in the society have always been an important issue in America from the past, since the divorce rates are high and more and more single parents are taking care of their children alone.
