Traditional

Primary

The film's dominant themes align with conservative cultural values by consistently championing the nuclear family unit, parental guidance, and individual responsibility as solutions to life's challenges, reflecting a traditional societal model.

The movie, a product of its time, features predominantly traditional casting with a white, middle-class family at its core, and does not include explicit race or gender swaps of traditionally white roles. Its narrative focuses on conventional family themes without critiquing traditional identities or explicitly incorporating DEI themes.

Secondary

The show implicitly portrays Christianity in a positive light through the Seaver family's moral compass, celebration of Christian holidays, and general adherence to values often associated with the faith, such as compassion, forgiveness, and community. The narrative consistently reinforces these virtues without critique.
