Hey Mom, I watched a Netflix Original this week for my blog post to you. It’s called Girlboss. It’s about a twenty-something young girl that gets fired from her job, which seems to be a habit of hers, and she is trying to get her life together. She had an epiphany one day that she knew she was meant to have more of a purpose in life than just to work and grow old. She ends up doing an online resale shop on Ebay. She seems to love it as she is able to express herself with the resale of the clothes she finds in second hand stores and “recycles,” as one could say. The show is set in 2006 in San Francisco. I like shows that are set around the 2000s, like 2000 to 2010. With the colors that the show has, it definitely puts you in the mindset of

    Upon reading your responses, I can see how individuals are labeled based on race and on stereotypes. In the film, “Boyz n the Hood”, I agree to what Sabrina said about the two scenes expressing discriminatory treatment by the criminal justice system. It was sad to see how when you are in need of help and the only source is turning their backs. It is not fair to be judged by your ethnicity, class, or where you live. This is related to labeling theorist, Howard Becker; whereas he states that certain individuals can even be labeled by being falsely accused. An individual can be labeled as a deviant, because of their race and yet never committed a crime (Adler, Mueller, & Laufer 2013, p. 189). We saw this in the one scene you pointed out, whereas Tre and his dad called the cops because of the break in at their home. Then

But what aggravates me the most is that even after all that she constantly takes him back.

  • TV Sitcom: That '70s Show

    That 70’s show is about Eric Forman and his teenage friends and also is family members that live in Point Place Wisconsin through the time period of 1976-1979. The biggest surprise about the series is that despite it being only a three year time frame it managed to run for eight seasons that was seen on Fox from 1998 to 2006 which became the networks second longest running live action sitcom only trailing the show married with children. Despite the fact that the show wasn’t really based in the 70’s the production of the show did a good job to make it seem like they lived in the 70’s with cars, music etc… It’s kind of weird that the show was named “that 70’s show” when it didn’t officially take place during the 70’s.
