The Belles of St.Trinians- Key Scenes

The older girls of the school use their sexual ploys as bait in order to seduce characters such as the jockey in order to gain benefits, this is seen in ch. 14, stereotypes of promiscuous outfits and their hands on approach to the jockey who becomes anxious. This is also seen by the commanding police officer when he uses his relations with a female officer to persuade her to go under cover at St.Trinians, he's all over heir.

The St. Trinian's choice to make gin in the chemistry lesson highlights Britain's nature of drinking, the fact that alcohol is a widely common thingy and they believe they'll make a profit of Britain's drinking culture.

The Democratization of Media

• Most content on internet is a waste. - This depends on what you are looking for as media is able to be used for good and bad. Like a television in this time, you are able to view documentaries which expand your knowledge but on the other hand you are able to watch mind numbing programs where you learn nothing.
• Although if you are a independent media producer you will get more profits than going with a company.
• With the internet you loose your privacy.
