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.

Misogyny to be treated as extremism by UK government
Extreme misogyny will be treated as a form of extremism under new government plans, the Home Office has said. Yvette Cooper, the home secretary, has ordered a review of the UK's counter-extremism strategy to determine how best to tackle threats posed by harmful ideologies. The analysis will look at hatred of women as one of the ideological trends that the government says is gaining traction. Ms Cooper said there has been a rise in extremism "both online and on our streets" that "frays the very fabric of our communities and our democracy". The review will look at the rise of Islamist and far-right extremism in the UK, as well as wider ideological trends, including extreme misogyny or beliefs which fit into broader categories, such as violence. It will also look at the causes and conduct of the radicalisation of young people. Ms Cooper said the strategy will "map and monitor extremist trends" to work out how to disrupt and divert people away from them. It will also "identify any gaps in existing policy which need to be addressed to crack down on those pushing harmful and hateful beliefs and violence", she said. Ms Cooper said that action against extremism has been "badly hollowed out" in recent years.

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.
