How Hitchcock Challenges Audience Expectations in his Film Psycho Hitchcock does very well in his film with censorship of film making in the nineteen fifties as he goes right to the limits of were the film is just suitable to show the nation. He does this many times in his film, one example is where Marian gets undressed and dressed. You see her bra and knickers in this scene, which is very unusual back then, it is worse than seeing nudity in films now. If Marian had taken any think else
It can be argued that at the end of the Second World War, arts were the first that began to feel the sense of liberalisation that society will later experience. In 1951 the British Censor Board introduced the X rating which dealt directly with films that were not “merely sordid films dealing with unpleasant subjects, but films which while, not being suitable for children, are good adult entertainment films which appeal to an intelligent public”. This was also the way in which the board perceived
paper, gold, silver, salt, cattle skin and many other objects. Each type of money was used for a different reason; for example, soldiers were generally paid in salt so they could flavor their bland food instead of being paid in something useless like the Parisian singer Mademoiselle Zélie who received animals and food as her payment for performing.

What Is a Gold-Collar Worker? A Higher Level of Knowledge Work. Kelley (1990) described an old distinction that divided the work force into blue-collar and white-collar workers. Blue-collar workers typically did manual labor in a factory for hourly pay, whereas white-collar workers did knowledge work in an office on salary.

Alchemy Some alchemy was used to transmute the base metals into gold. This is not all of what alchemists have done. Alchemists have contributed many things to the world that we live in.

Alchemy could be assumed to be witch craft, but what we don’t known is that it was chemistry. There are many alchemists in history that have contributed
