We should do something on the Jack the Ripper films, however a lot has already been covered in the lectures. Therefore we will need to come up with something more detailed or fresh. Maybe we could make a short film as part of our presentation. We have now decided not to do anything directly about the Ripper films, although we will be discussing Alfred Hitchcock and his portrayal of women in his films. Hitchcock also made the film 'The Lodger'. This is one of Hitchcock's earlier films and it has many of the Ripper traits. For example the smoke in London, the cloak, the bag, the hat, and indeed the wrong man being accused, this has become a phenomenon because nobody actually knows the real identity of the Ripper and that is one of the reasons why the Ripper has lasted so long as an icon.http://http://www.charliebeckett.org/?p=30

Muslim misogyny and the media is a difficult subject to sum up because the mainstream media do not understand Islam and it causes many contradictions and therefore furthers the cultural gap. This then results in Muslim misogyny being let loose and the problems not being dealt with.
