These are some of the articles that we looked at to help us form the narrative for our short film. We wanted to find articles that would make our film relevant to our society today.

Miley Cyrus says she found hallucinogenic drugs healing
It seems this week is totally going to be 'Miley Cyrus controversies week'. We weren't even done with our comments on her bizarre clothes at the MTV Video Music Awards and she stirred up another controversy by managing to enrage the Catholics. Next, comes her confession that she found hallucinogenic drugs "healing".
The 22-year-old said she is keen to try ayahuasca - an illegal blend of two plants, the ayahuasca vine and a shrub called chacruna which contains hallucinogenic drug dimethyltryptamine (DMT) - again because she "loved" the way it made her feel, reports nytimes.com.
"I think ayahuasca is a healing thing. I only did it one time, but I want to do it again. I loved what it did for me," Cyrus said.
"We all think we're good people, but I wanted to know in my heart, in my deepest soul. I wanted to know what outrides what: Am I really the person I think am?
"When I was on my trip, all I could focus on was the animals. I was puking up different animals -- dolphins and seals and giraffes. It's really crazy. This was literally a week before the Met Ball. At Met Ball, I was like, 'Guys, none of this matters'," she added.
Earlier this week Miley hosted the MTV VMA in a set of bizarre naked clothes, flashing her nipples and then blatantly lighting up a marijuana joint. In no time, Parents Television Council blasted her over it. Next day, the Catholics got miffed with when she posted a photoshopped image of Pope Francis, holding a copy of her newly-dropped record. It was her way of promoting her surprise album Miley Cyrus and Her Dead Petz on Instagram.
Parents council isn't happy with Miley Cyrus' VMAs stunt.
Cyrus took to the photo-sharing site on Tuesday night to post a photoshopped image of Pope Francis, holding a copy of her newly-dropped record.

Pop star's wild parties anger neighbours
She may be a multimillionaire - but no one seems to have told Rita Ora that you can't put a price on being a good neighbour.
The X Factor judge and pop star has upset residents near her new home - by installing a tacky plastic hedge along its entire frontage and the driveway to the garage.
One outraged neighbour said it stood out "like a sore thumb".

The 24-year-old also rubbed neighbours up the wrong way with loud parties and disruptive rebuilding work at the semi-detached home.
Although it is unclear whether she is living in the North London property full time yet, her new neighbours are already unhappy.
The Hot Right Now singer held an all-night birthday party for Radio 1 DJ and fellow X Factor judge Nick Grimshaw last weekend with star guests including model Kate Moss, and Olly Murs and Caroline Flack, who didn't arrive until 1.30am, the Sunday Mirror claims. The party last weekend is said to have carried on until 4am.
Neighbours have also told how lorries have been driving in and out of the quiet street as the star does the house up. A neighbour told the Sunday Mirror: "My children know who Rita is but I don't.
"I've heard about her reputation and I don't want any loud parties."
A source said: "Rita does not live in the house, it is one of a number of properties she owns. She is currently in the US on tour."
The paper reported that council planners gave her the go-ahead to make changes to her home - despite objections from some neighbours.
In 2013, Ora was reportedly asked to find a new place to live after complaints about noisy late-night gatherings at the West London apartment she was renting at the time.
But it didn't seem to deter her hard-partying ways - earlier this year, residents in a separate London complex were said to be "up in arms" over the volume music coming from another apartment.
Ora did not respond to MailOnline's request to comment last night.

B-School principal files complaint against students
In a development related to the attack on the principal of a B-School by students and a few parents on Tuesday, the principal who was arrested and subsequently released on bail has filed a counter complaint of ‘attempt to murder’ against the students and some ‘outsiders’.
In what appears to be part of ‘pressure tactics’ to put pressure on the students to withdraw their complaint against him, the Principal has named even those girl students who accused him of misbehaving with them as being involved in the ‘attempt to murder’.
It might be recalled that Principal of KLE Society’s College of Business Administration Anand Waddin was allegedly beaten up by students and a few parents on Tuesday, accusing him of misbehaving with girl students during an industrial visit to Goa. Subsequently he was arrested along with two other lecturers including a lady lecturer and all the three have been released on bail now.
The Vidyanagar Police said that they received a complaint on Thursday from the Principal regarding ‘attempt to murder’. In the complaint Prof. Waddin has said that it was the students who had misbehaved during the Goa trip and since he warned them of informing their parents, they had attacked him along with some outsiders who had come with cricket bats. The Police said after registering FIR and it was being investigated.

Meanwhile a few parents on condition of anonymity told presspersons that they were being targeted for filing complaint against the principal who had misbehaved with girl students.
Veiled threat.
Meanwhile, in an open letter to all the students that is being circulated through social media, Prof. Waddin has said that he had made a terrible mistake and would regret it for the rest of his life. “I apologise to the KLE Society, my students, especially to all girls with whom I had special meetings in cabin, my family and all those people that I let down. I am truly sorry and deeply regret my terrible misconduct”, he said.
However in the same letter he has made a veiled threat saying that they should be ready to receive ‘return gifts’ for what they had done to him.
