Psychological thrillers focus deeply on characters and their mental states. They emphasize characters over plot and create suspense through characters manipulating or dismantling each other's minds. Common techniques include stream of consciousness narration to manifest characters' thoughts, first-person narration for audience involvement, and backstories to understand characters' motivations and how their past shapes their present mindset. Major themes often explored include reality, perception, mind, existence, purpose, and identity.

Horror writing allows for the exploration of cultural myths, folklore, and urban legends. Drawing inspiration from diverse cultural backgrounds, writers can introduce readers to a world of ancient curses, vengeful spirits, and malevolent entities deeply rooted in cultural beliefs.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

1. Conventions of a psychological thriller
• Definition
• Psychological thriller - specific sub genre of the thriller genre
• Deep focus on the characters and their states of mind
• Often incorporates elements from the mystery and drama genre, overlaps with horror genre,
particularly psychological horror
• Psychological thrillers; emphasizing the characters just as much, if not more so, than the plot
• Characters not reliant on physical strength, but rather on their mental resources, usually by battling
wits with a formidable opponent or by battling for equilibrium in the character's own mind. Suspense
created by psychological thrillers often comes from two or more characters preying upon one
another's minds, either by playing deceptive games with the other or by merely trying to demolish the
other's mental state.
• Literary devices and techniques
• Stream of consciousness – a literary technique in which an individual's point of view is produced as a
written equivalent so we are able to see the individual’s thought processes. In psychological thrillers,
the narrative tries to manifest the character's psyche through word usage, descriptions, or visuals.
• First-person narrative – a literary technique in which the story is narrated by one or more of the
characters. This technique is used to make the audience more involved with the characters
themselves, and thus able to understand how the characters minds work.
• Back-story – the history behind the situation right at the start of the main story. This deepens the
psychological aspect of the story since the reader is able to more fully understand the character;
more specifically, what the character's motivations are and how his past has shaped his current
cognitive perceptions.
• Themes
• Reality
• Perception
• Mind
• Existence
• Purpose
• Identity
• Death
• These major subgenres help develop the plot of a psychological thriller film, shaping the characters'
personalities. e.g..usually character will find the true identity/the devil side of himself/herself in
psychological thriller, in which it is one of the archetypes—the loss of innocence.
• Uses of dark, isolated places.
