what is the toic and implied main idea of this paragraph? I don't understand it

Where do our notions of family come from? One way we get information is through experience and that of our friends and relatives. Another important source of information is the mass media. Consider, for instance the family life portrayed on tv. if you were a foreigner and the only thing you knew about American families came from television programs, how would you describe a typical family?

Keep in mind that we don't do your work for you.

Let us know what YOU THINK the topic (?) and implied main idea are. Then someone here can help you.
