Background:
One Tree Hill is a teen, young adult television drama which was created by Mark Schwahn that emphasizes conventional living with family and friends. One Tree Hill comprises of 150 episodes across 7 seasons. The show is about the lives of two half brothers, Nathan and Lucas Scott, living in a fictional town in North Carolina called Tree Hill. The show mainly focuses on the two brother’s growing relationship from heartless enemies to caring brothers. It mainly portrays high school life which mainly revolved around basketball and the relationships they have with the female characters, Peyton Sawyer, Haley James Scott, and Brooke Davis, in the show. The first four seasons mainly focused on the high school life of Lucas and Nathan with all the other characters in the show. Later in the 5th season of One Tree Hill, the timeline was skipped 4 years into the future after college life. However, in the 7th season, the timeline was adjusted to 1 year into the future after the 6th season. The show’s target audience is mainly teenagers or young adults. The objective of the show is Tree Hill is just a place somewhere in the world. Maybe it's a lot like your world. Maybe it's nothing like it. But, if you look closely you might see someone like you. Someone trying to find their way, someone trying to find their place, someone trying to find their self. Sometimes it’s easy to feel like you’re the only one in the world who's struggling, who’s frustrated, or unsatisfied at barely getting by. But, that feeling is a lie and if you just hold on, just find the courage to face it all for another day, someone or something will find the way and make it all okay. Because we all need a little help sometimes, someone to help us hear the music in the world. To remind us that it won’t always be this way. That someone is out there, and that someone will find you.
Briefly explaining the roles the character plays in the show, Nathan Scott, played by James Lafferty, is Haley’s husband which is a NBA basketball player and Lucas Scott’s half brother. Lucas Scott, played by Chad Michael Murray, is Peyton’s husband and Nathan Scott’s half brother which works as a novelist. Peyton Sawyer, player by Hilarie Burton, is Lucas Scott’s wife who has a passion in music and art and owns her own record label. Haley James, played by Bethany Joy Galeotti, is Nathan’s wife who teaches in tree hill high school, which is the school they all used to study, and also is a great singer that released several albums. Brooke Davis, played by Sophia Bush, is Peyton’s best friend who owns a multimillion dollar clothing company brand, called Clothes Over Bros, and used to be dating Lucas Scott. However, in season 7, Chad Michael Murray and Hilarie Burton did not return to the show as Lucas and Peyton seemed to have disappeared from the storyline
Objective:
The objective of this research is to find out the impact One Tree Hill has on young people and whether it would change the life of an individual. From its endless romance from the love triangles which goes on during the show, it gives teenagers and young adult hope in their love life that a certain special someone might just be waiting out there for them. The reason as to why a research is done about the show is due to impact of which the show had on me during the years. It has affected me dramatically in the way I think towards the actions of which I conduct and I just want to find out whether teen dramas affect other people in a similar or different manner.
The aspects of culture that will be looked at would mainly be the romance side of the show. From the “hopeless” to the “well-to-do’s” characters in the show, the characters in the show just portray an ideal fantasized life of a “live happily ever after” scenario no matter what the circumstances is for them. This would mean that people’s attitudes towards love and how people think about their life after they achieved it would be looked at and observed if any changes would occur in the way they think about their love life differently.
