AI and Creatives
In my Media, Culture and Society class today I showed this video to students. I tried to hide the title so that they couldn't see it was fully generated by AI.

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.

Getting Through the Dark: Narcissists vs. Dark Empaths: Understanding, Identifying, and Liberating
Getting Through the Dark: Narcissists vs. Dark Empaths: Understanding, Identifying, and Liberating I have always been fascinated and intrigued by the limitless potential humans hold, which propels us on the path of progression.

In the vast and complex tapestry that constitutes human relationships, the delicate interplay between these contrasting forces often presents itself as an enigma. Have you ever experienced the captivating yet perplexing dynamics between light and shadow, empathy and narcissism? Within this intricate landscape, dark empaths and narcissists stand out as compelling and enigmatic figures, each characterized by a distinct array of traits and behaviours. On the other hand, susceptible people (HSP), recognized for their deep emotional awareness and sensitivity to the feelings of others, often find themselves traversing the challenging terrain of relationships with these fascinating, yet sometimes troubling, personalities.

Why Being the "Good Girl" Can Hold You Back
Why Being the "Good Girl" Can Hold You Back This is me (well, it was me, and perhaps it still is at times)! How about you? The Good Girl. I vividly recall my younger days when my parents frequently urged me to remain the "good girl." I was terrified of speaking up or taking risks, fearing that I wouldn't live up to the "good girl" image. Today, I proudly embrace the courageous and kind person I have become. I am stronger and braver than ever, while still maintaining kindness.
