Watching the television series Switched at Birth was very eye opening for me, as I am sure it is for many individuals. This show brings awareness to Deaf Culture, the abilities this culture’s members possess, and the stereotypes and prejudices deaf individuals are often faced with.

Shameless is a show that represents a dysfunctional family of six children with a drunk for a father. Ian Gallagher was born in 1996 as the middle child and second boy of the family. His parents are Frank, who is an alcoholic, and Monica, who is diagnosed with bipolar disorder. He dropped out of high school and illegally enlisted in the army by using his brother Lip’s name. During his time in the army, he tried to steal a helicopter, and he is now wanted for criminal charges: impersonating another person and attempted theft of government property. He was raised in the back of the yards in Chicago. Fiona, his oldest sister, takes care of all of the children while Frank, his father, only shows up at home for the insurance money. Psychoanalytic theory will be the most effective to explain Ian’s current behaviors and psychodynamic therapy would be the most effective form of treatment.

There comes a time in the second act of Dear Evan Hansen when the sound of the audience's sniffles seem to overpower the sound radiating off stage. The Broadway Musical, Dear Evan Hansen, follows the anxiety driven title character as his lie about a close friendship with a classmate who killed himself spirals out of control. Under the advice of his doctor, he often writes letters to himself, hence, the title of the musical. What had initiated as an innocent misunderstanding soon becomes darker once he is pushed closer with the dead boy's parents and sister (whom he falls in love with). As a member of the show's audience last week, I can most definitely say that this show has changed my life; it has left of positive influence on the way I view the world, especially as a young adult.

“Orange Is the New Black” is a modern memoir that leads you through Piper Kerman’s experiences in Danbury, a women’s correctional facility, and shows you the life within the cold walls. Her words magnify the greatness within everybody, even the ones who have been thought to not even contain a heart, not even a soul within their body. The people who have been encaged, locked up behind bars. “The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness” by Michelle Alexander is an extraordinarily-written modern book, completely opposite of Piper Kerman’s memoir. It shows the challenges that most of the colored and Latino men face once they are framed as a criminal, as well as the stereotypical treatment they receive as human beings. While Piper Kerman’s book shows the happiness and good in all the different types of people, gay, black, white, straight, transgender, Latino, Buddhist, Catholic, or a stone cold killer, Michelle Alexander points out the fact that African Americans are being treated the way they used to, being looked at no differently than slaves.

Inhaling and exhaling a deep breath, Veronica tried to ignore the ticking in her head that counted the seconds she’d been seated at Dominick’s. Her table was a strategic choice; far from, but angled towards, the door- a perfect position to watch for any man that had the slightest potential to be CA152. Talking to a stranger and daring to meet the man and be nervous about it, there was some silliness in that. Waiting at a table alone, with a rose as identification felt completely silly to Veronica. Wait a minute, was that… Veronica’s watchful eyes caught a glimpse of Logan Echolls, striding into Dominick’s with a big grin on his face.

She is serving time at Litchfield Penitentiary, a federal prison for women in upstate New York, for drug smuggling with her ex-girlfriend (Alex) a couple of years ago. When Chapman goes to prison she is reunited with Alex, even though their relationship goes through ups and downs as the time goes by. The main focus of the television show is to present a public discourse about the criminal justice system, particularly incarceration in the United States. Through the social cognitive theory and the agenda setting theory one is able to see how Orange is the New Black draws attention to different issues within our incarceration system, specially imprisonment of women.

Apart from this, agenda setting theory comes into play when particular issues within imprisonment are presented, like solitary confinement was throughout many episodes. These can be further examined and analyzed looking at all the elements Jenji Kohan implements in her scripts to open up a public discussions about social issues.
