The Attention of the White Chapel Murders
In 1888 the Jack the Ripper murders caused chaos in the town of
Whitechapel. Nothing like this had ever happened before. People wanted
to know who was dissecting women on the streets.
The murdered women Polly Nicholls, Elizabeth Stride, Catherine
Eddowes, Mary Kelly and Annie Chapman were all prostitutes looking for
work in the Whitechapel area at the times they were murdered.
The first supposed victim of Jack the Ripper was Martha Tabram even
though her murder on the 6th of August was not as brutal as the ones
committed later on; it is thought the murder was the beginning of Jack
the Ripper. Martha Tabram was found dead in George Yard in
Whitechapel. She had been stabbed a total of 39 times in the body,
neck and private parts. This made the people of Whitechapel become on
edge. They were scared.
Twenty five days after Martha Tabram was murdered, at about 4am a
resident of Whitechapel was walking through Bucks row when he saw a
woman lying on the floor with her skirts around her waist. He thought
she was drunk and called another man to help wake her up and get her
to her feet, but they could not wake her so they went to the police
station. Before they got back a policeman saw they woman and using the
light of his lantern he saw her throat was slit and she was covered in
blood. Dr Rees Llewellyn was called to the scene, he said the wound to
the neck had killed her and she had been dead no longer than 30
minutes. When her clothes were removed it appeared there were several
wounds to her abdomen which were caused by a long bladed knife. These
were done whilst the woman was dead. She worked as a prostitute.
The next murder was on the 8th of September just after 6am. The victim
was Annie Chapman, another prostitute. The body was discovered by John
Davis. He saw that the woman's skirts were pulled up, he got help
During the time of the Salem Witch Trials the intertwining of religion and government did not allow citizens of Salem, Massachusetts the right to a fair trial, so it was the states responsibility to separate the two. In the 1600’s the Puritan religion was greatly enforced by the government. It wouldn’t be until many years later that separation of church and state became a law.

Salem Massachusetts became the center of a horrible tragedy, which changed the life of many people. It was a hard time, because of the bad crops and diseases. The people in Salem had to blame someone or something. This people accused innocent people by calling them witches. They were accused by having contact with the devil, hurting people, to pinch people on their bodies and more. These actions were result of hysteria. Maybe those extraneous symptoms were result of an illness or bacteria. On the Bible says “thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.” This mean that any type of witch or curse will not live, so I think that quote or versus in the Bible want to explain that we need to fight against the devil, those people who are practicing witchcraft need to be light, to be with God. Those people were confused because is not necessary to kill innocent people and the Bible says that if someone kills is a sin.

In 1692 everyone was sure that the Devil had come to Salem when young girls started screaming, barking like dogs and doing strange dances in the woods. The Salem Witch Trials originated in the home of Salem's reverend Samuel Parris, who had a slave from the Caribbean named Tibuta. Tibuta would tell stories about witchcraft back from her home. In early 1692 several of Salem's teenage girls began gathering in the kitchen with Tibuta. When winter turned to spring many Salem residents were stunned at the acts and behaviors of Tibuta's young followers. It was said that in the woods nearby they danced a black magic dance, and several of the girls would fall on the floor screaming uncontrollably. These behaviors soon began to spread across Salem. This soon led to ministers from nearby communities coming to Salem to lend their advice on the matter. Many believed that the girls were bewitched. It is believed that the young girls accusations began the Salem witch trials, and they would gather at reverend Parris's house to play fortune-telling games with magic and with Tibuta. One of the games was for them to crack a raw egg into a glass of water and see what shape it made in the glass.
The witch trials of the late 1600's were full of controversy and uncertainty. The Puritan town of Salem was home to most of these trials, and became the center of much attention in 1692. More than a hundred innocent people were found guilty of practicing witchcraft during these times, and our American government forced over a dozen to pay with their lives. The main reasons why the witch trials occurred were conflicts dealing with politics, religion, family, economics, and fears of the citizens.

It then talks about the two decisions made over the summer about the Affordable Care Act and the Same Sex Marriage Act. After that, it talks about Pope Francis and the Takata incident.

The White Savior Complex is a damaging subconscious underlay of the Hollywood system, and more broadly all of western society. It is used to further separate the notions of “us” and “other” by creating a firm separation fueled by self-righteousness, and a sense of entitlement. Hollywood attempts to address race relations, but fails because of this trope. Kingsle, from the article “Does My Hero Look White In This?” described that both racism and colonialism are acknowledged, but not without reassuring that not only were white people against the system of racist power dynamics, but also were actively fighting against it in leadership roles (2013). In the remainder of my essay I will be commenting on many modern films and their use on this trope, and why subscribing to this filmmaking strategy is problematic.
