Blog #3

       The comedy, [scrubs], is not only one of the greatest shows of all time, but it also shows the American Core Values. 
       J.D. shows achievement and success through his hard work.  He is the doctor whose life is shown through this show, and he works very hard to be successful in the competitive environment of a hospital. He shows he audience that hard work can lead to good things and can get you out of hard times.
       The desire to be accepted is really evident in Scrubs. The characters are always struggling with personal choices for dependence on other people, and are trying to fit in; whether it is the doctors trying to fit in with the surgeons, or couples trying to keep up their relationships. But individualism is shown even more when the doctors have to think for themselves in order to make the right decision to save someone's life. They also all have different personalities, showing that everyone is different and we should be our own person.
       Obviously, humanitarianism has a huge part in Scrubs. Caring for others and providing comfort is the main mission of the characters. Since they are in a hospital, it is their job to be concerned about their patients without getting too connected, in case something should go wrong.


       Overall, I think that the main values represented in Scrubs are humanitarianism, individualism, and achievement and success. The characters show this by working very hard to treat people the best that they can, while being an individual and making their own choices. These doctors, nurses, etc., show examples in the hospital that can be applied to real life. At the end of each episode, Dr. J.D. has some sort of "life lesson." This lesson tells the viewers what they should value, the American Values to be exact.
