Even now, most of the time, big corporations are reluctant to investment or promote any movies where they are not making significant amount of return investment. Making money is the underlining theme of these industries.

... more comfortable they are with the actors and the more likely they are to see their films in the future. Again, if black actors are cast in more of these race neutral roles it will eliminate the excuse of not casting black actors because of the international box office (3).

In 1996, there was a protest organized for the lack of diversity in the show. People where shocked when only one out of the 166 Oscar nominees were black (Breger, 2016). The type of conflict strategy used by the academy was not very effective since the issues had remained ever since (Alberts, J. K., Martin, J. N., & Nakayama, T. K, 2011, p.250). Last year all the acting categories with filled with nominees who were white. The same thing that happened again this year. However, last year there wasn’t as much attention brought to the situation.

But, people define surrogacy as a egg donation to a surrogate mother, a surrogate mother may carry a child for someone whom she may not have never previously known. She agrees to become artificially inseminated or undergo IVF treatment to carry a child and then after the birth give the child to the intended parents. Therefore, in our terms of reference surrogate motherhood is defined as an arrangement under which a woman agrees to breed a child for another couple. While there are two main types of surrogacy, gestational surrogacy and traditional, there are also different types of arrangements, agency arranged and independently arranged. Also surrogacy may be done between strangers who never meet, persons who meet only a few times, persons who meet and become quite close over the course and often after the surrogacy, and those who are friends before ever entering a surrogacy arrangement or are family members. The procedures of surrogacy the couple have to follow are firstly, to interview intended parents or surrogate mothers and egg donors, then they will have to choose a match and complete all medical and psychological screening, lastly, they will begin medicated cycles and attempt pregnancy. It would take around a minimum of 12 months to complete any surrogacy program.
