The convent school was founded on the idea of empowering women through education, in accordance with the Philosophies of the schools spiritual leader, Sri Sri Prabhuji. However, the school is subject to the national discourse through the curriculum and what we want to investigate is how these discourses influence the girls Life Worlds, their perception of their everyday life. The national discourse is subject to the Global Flows, which influence it. We hypothesise that their life worlds are created through a combination of the girls Inner- and Outer Worlds. In short, the Outer World is what influences the girls from an external point and the Inner World is their Life World from their own perspective. Our aim was to analyse this through the use of qualitative interviews, conducted on location in India, which will then be analysed through the use of several different theories, concerning identity, through the combining method of Bricolage. The results of the interviews will be discussed in relation to their Outer Worlds to determine what the discourses are. Our investigation brings us to the conclusion that the impact of various discourses in the students’ social spheres creates a very complex process of individuation in which they must make sense of themselves.

The report will center around a paid post by Netflix, posted in the New York Times in 2013 as an attempt to promote the second season of the Netflix original; ‘Orange is the new Black’. Through critical discourse analysis the text of the post will be understood from a societal and discursive standpoint. Combined with semiotics and particularly the signification system, we are able to present the argument that the paid post is trying to present a discourse about women in prison having a harder time than men, which becomes even more clear when looking holistically at the post. Throughout the analysis, we can conclude that Netflix uses what the advertising industry would call In-Feed Native Advertising. Although they are not following the suggested guidelines of the industry completely, they manage to use all the tools with great success and create a great advertisement.
