My culture is the Netflix and/or binge-watching culture. This culture has a variety of different elements that are within it. These elements each have their own importance to how they impact my culture. Also, without any of these elements it would change the culture completely.
To begin, the first element is the values of my culture. Values are the principles or standards that society uses to make judgments. One of the values associated with Netflix is modification. Netflix is always being modified so that the viewers could see newly released shows as well as movies. Movies and TV shows are always being produced as well as what is trending in the country and world. Another value is variation, this allows subscribers to have an unlimited number of movies and TV shows to watch. On the Netflix website, the values they used to convey themselves was judgment, productivity, creativity, intelligence, honesty, communication, selflessness, reliability and passion. I think these all represent the company very well.
The next element to my culture is beliefs. Beliefs are the opinions or theories that people accept. Some of the beliefs associated with the beliefs of Netflix are the 5-star rating system that is used to measure the quality of the show. The higher number of stars the better the movie/show should be. This is also based on a consensus so even if it has a high rating you still might not like the movie/show and vis versa. Another belief is that Netflix is more for watching movies not necessary TV shows like Hulu offers. Some other TV/movie online media streaming websites are: Amazon Prime, Hulu, Sling TV, HBO Now, etc.
Knowledge is the ability to be informed and understand concepts to help people through life. There are several types of knowledge someone needs to understand when they use Netflix one of which is how to use the technology. From how to properly run a computer to how to run Netflix and navigate through the app. Another is the ability to understand the language the show is in, and if it’s not offered in someone’s first language then you can put the subscripts on so you can understand it. Its also important to know release dates or dates that shows will be removed from Netflix.

In this paper I will begin by defining personal culture and national culture. After, I will then elaborate my own personal and national culture. I will continue to talk about the subject with the person that I have chosen for my cultural group, my mother, and I will identify her personal and national culture. Lastly, I will talk about my own personality and how it has a connection with my own natural culture; knowing this is important, it lets us know who we are, and how we act with people who are from different cultures.
Netflix is focusing on the groups that need to relax after a hard day of work, or just groups that seek for relaxation. This group likes to watch series or movies for their relaxation. This identifies some end-users to have a life with need for relaxation. Another lifestyle that some end users may have is the one which are fans of some movies/series genre, they love to watch some specific genre and that is where the Netflix service is based upon.

Netflix began in 1997 as a revolutionary idea by CEO Reed Hastings and software executive March Randolph. Before long, in 1999 Netflix launched its major line of business, the online subscription service, which radically changed the way consumers viewed movies and television. For a young company in an innovative and growing industry, Netflix has set itself up for a tremendous journey. The company has had much success due to its adaption of a modern business model and strength in operations management. Its continued reliance on and improvements of operation management principles is necessary to continue growing and bringing in profits.
The important thing to ask is why people watch Netflix in the first place. Maybe a friend told you about a new show that you just have to watch. Maybe you're bored and have nothing better to do. Maybe you're sick and can't do anything else but watch Netflix. Maybe it's a little treat for yourself a long day of work or school. Netflix is a like a gateway to new worlds and stories that distract you from the drivel of everyday life. Or...is Netflix more like a gateway...drug? The side effects of this said "drug" can be troublesome. The worst part is you may not even realize that you are falling victim to any of it.
As a Vietnamese, I am very proud of the values and the ethics that still remains from thousands of years ago, by the way of life of the ancient; the upbringing, and the respect that we may not have now. “Cultural identity” is what I am talking about. Every single person has a different perspective on cultural identity. Culture plays a huge role in shaping individual personality or identity. It also refers to the traditions, people around you, and religion, etc. Our background is what sets us apart from everyone else because we came from a different culture. That is why culture created; it makes you feel belonging to something. Culture determines the person we are today and in future.
The environment, family, and community I have grown up in has shaped me as a person. So far, I grew up in the same house all seventeen years of my life. My personality has grown and molded over the years of middle school and high school based off the lessons I have learned and the things I’ve been through.
Culture defines people’s values, beliefs, and personal interests. Culture is important because it allows people to maintain a unique identity society. Many cultures have common interests, while others may have customs that differ greatly from that of another. Technology has had a huge impact on present day cultures. Many culture have been altered including my own, and some have been created due to the rise of technology. Cultures differ so greatly that someone belonging to one culture may not agree with the values of another, which then causes social and ethical issues. My culture shares many similarities with others around the world; most of which have connected more people in recent years than ever before. Cultural gaps, and lack of
Netflix is a big topic of discussion on social media networks. It has also created the term “Netflix and Chill” which is used in many different ways. It has provided a way to watch TV online whether you're on a phone, tablet, or computer. It is also available on smart TVs. Netflix has made it’s own original series like House of Cards, Orange is the New Black, and the newest, Fuller House. Fuller House is a spinoff of Full House with most of the same cast members and some new. It was a very popular topic on the internet before it came out and now that it’s out it is too.
But perhaps, there’s a more hidden message in Netflix’s mission statement that offers a more in-depth company’s strategic vision. For instance, the notion of “simplicity” at the core of functionality offers a wider scope of vision. The idea is tenured in to Netflix’s conception in 1997 when it emerged as a broadband entertainment
The way the audience watches television has drastically changed since the birth of television. The viewer is “changing the rules” (Deign) of how we consume media and is no longer restricted to when they can access content. The company Netflix’s is a great example of this. Netflix is currently the dominant company in the on-demand media industry and “isn’t only changing the way that we watch television, but it’s also revolutionizing the way that it is made”(Page). Compared to old methods of television networks where the viewer is required to tune in weekly at a designated time for a television show, Netflix’s has allowed the viewer to watch
