Women on Screen: Psychological Themes in Contemporary Indian Cinema
Cinema and film are prevalent forms of mass communication that significantly influence opinions, shape perceptions, and reinforce prevailing cultural norms. They entertain audiences globally, offering an escape from everyday life by creating an alternate reality. Additionally, cinema has the power to alter individuals' mindsets and help establish new cultural, social, and political values. Indian cinema has long been a significant part of Indian culture, impacting society and individual lives in various ways. Movies influence people's fashion choices, speech, and social behaviour, both directly and indirectly. Over time, Indian cinema has evolved from traditional mythological films to "Bollywoodized" adaptations of successful Hollywood movies. In the 1970s, Indian cinema began to adopt a more socially conscious and politically focused approach.

My Favorite Albums of 2024 so far...
My god, it’s August already. I don’t know about y’all, but I feel a shift happening. Maybe it’s because, I’m actually working on the goals, that I set at the start of the year? I’m making time to learn new things, — Spanish and longboarding? I’m reading more difficult and different books…but that’s beside the point. Music.

HEALING 2
Look at the world right now everything as gone upside down . We are living in a world or perhaps a country where love doesn’t exist . There is a lot of broken hearts out there, willing to do whatsoever it take to survive and not caring who they hurt or what they damage but as long as they got what they want . We have allowed the dark times to define us. Ritual , war, kidnapping,killing one another has become a way of life as it is, ignorance and hate hold hands they try to blind us smother us. They try to destroy the light of hope

Powerful Women and Misogyny in Film
We all like to think that we are exempt from propaganda; that with enough education and self-awareness, we can side-step the negative impacts of social conditioning. Of course, this is never true, and much of our behaviors and cognitions are based on the propaganda we have been fed. There is, of course, no bigger force complicit in propaganda than film. For over a hundred years film has influenced and reinforced the way Americans perceive themselves and the world around them. This is unfortunate because American society has always been constructed and perceived through a male-centric lens- especially when it comes to the female purpose. This is why I want to analyze how films depict a topic that’s crucial to me: women in the workplace. To do this, I will be analyzing the representation of professional women in two films: the 1942 film Woman of the Year and the 2006 film The Devil Wears Prada.

Why do humans crave love
Because humans are greedy and lonely. We yearn for something that can transcend the bonds of blood, the prejudice of skin color, the differences of nations, the chasm of wealth, and the constraints of social norms.

Mother vs Mirror
In 2015, a group of six blindfolded children ranging from the ages of three to nine years old must identify their mother from a line-up of women. Fortunately, even without their sight, every single child finds their caretaker. According to the concept of Maternal-Newborn Bonding, “The connection made after birth directly affects both the mother and child physiologically, psychologically, and emotionally,” and even influences the child’s romantic and platonic attachment styles later in life (Barker, para.2). This, combined with the experiment above, seems to prove that the Maternal-Newborn bond is indestructible. Yet, Lacan claims that this connection is already destroyed, at around six to eight months old. This essay will argue that Jessika Kenney and Eyvind Kang’s piece uses vocals and instrumentation to explore the factors that motivate the infant to separate from their mother and the consequences of that choice, prompting listeners to question whether adulthood is worth the agony.
