stereotypes that can be positive, or negative, A clear example of this can be seen in the popular Netflix series, Orange is the New Black, which follows the story of a wealthy white women, Piper, who is sentenced to jail for drug smuggling. The show's goal is to display how life in prison really is for inmates, but the show does far more than that. Orange is the New Black delves into the racial, ethnic, and sexual constraints that these inmates face, which

Orange is the New Black Critical Analysis Benjamin Marks “Orange is the New Black” is Netflix’s hit new original series. Currently in its second season, OINTB has received critical acclaim (Metacritic, Rotten Tomatoes) for its unusual subject matter as well as its varied and multi-dimensional portrayal of race, gender, class, queer and trans issues. However, while it excels specifically with issues of gender and sexuality, the show falters a bit more on issues of race and class. The show is based

Lesly Beltran One of the shows that comes to mind when it comes to inequalities of social status in American society, is Orange Is the New Black. This show is mainly about women and their experiences in a minimum-security women’s prison. The main character, Piper Chapman, is a Caucasian woman in her mid-30s with a successful career and a wonderful fiance. Her past, which she tried so hard to hide, eventually catches up to her and she lands in the prison. Piper comes from a wealthy family and she

I really like Piper Kerman’s Orange is the New Black. I thought it was an excellently written memoir of a specific time of the narrator’s life. It was extremely interesting to me to read about someone’s experiences in a prison, especially someone who is a complete outsider.

I had watched the Netflix series that was based on the novel. In fact, I

What a time to be an Entrepreneur! It seems that everywhere you look people are launching new ventures. Whether they quit their day job to go out it alone or freelance their skills on the side -- entrepreneurship is the new black. Social media shows you the glamorous side - celebrating new clients, picking a logo, launching a site. However, as we saw with working at home, the shiny newness of being your own boss will definitely wear off. After the honeymoon phase comes the actual work. The real

stronger and stronger over time. One large advantage that Netflix had was they were always the first to offer new media and new deliveries. Porter’s Five Forces Model suggests that there are five important forces that determine the competitive power in a business situation. These five forces include; supplier power, buyer power, competitive rivalry, threat of substitution, and threat of new entry. Netflix’s suppliers are primarily producing agencies and studios that direct and shoot the films and

Whilst I can agree to some extent, this year did serve some justice to those few actors that have been snubbed for consecutive years now. Of course, I'm talking mostly about Liev Schreiber and Tatiana Maslany. I don't watch either Ray Donavan or Orphan Black, but I did catch an episode or two of each this year; both of them were fantastic in their roles and did deserve a nomination. There is obviously a few shockers as well ranging from Jim Parsons absence from best comedic actor to Emilia Clarkes nomination

The T.V. show “Black Mirror” is mainly about a british science fiction tv anthology series created by Charlie Brooke rand centered around dark and satirical with regard to the unanticipated consequences of new technologies. One of the episodes that i found interest in was season 1 epi.2. The title of this episode was “15 million merits. In this episode was mainly about a woman performing degrading acts or return to a slave- like existence. As i was watching the show i had noticed that everything

With influences like Tom Ford, Calvin Klein, and Victoria’s Secret, the fashion industry has begun to focus more on sex instead of fashion. Unfortunately, fashion does not just focus on adults, but also on children. With new trends and fads being expressed, concerns have become undeniable; especially when it comes to fashion’s decisions on young girls’ clothing. The fashions of young girls no longer promote an essence of cuteness but of sexiness. With young models posing provocatively with close
