Online video is being used by sociology instructors at the University of Maryland to teach basic concepts and accompany lectures in a concept called The Sociological Cinema.

This clip shows comedian Anita Renfroe condensing the phrases a typical mother says to her children in the course of a day to the duration of the William Tell Overture. In the classroom, sociology students can first list role expectations of mothers, and then discuss the roles mothers have and also focus on gender role expectations of fathers.
