Charlie Davison asks if when we over-stress the need for cancer patients to be courageous fighters, are we running the risk of denying them the chance of a peaceful end to life? https://www.cost-ofliving.net/cancer-culture-clash/ "Disaster news, the media and cultural bias" Paul Solman and Lesley Henderson ask how media representations of natural disasters are inherently bound up in a range of cultural western biases. https://www.cost-ofliving.net/disaster-news-the-media-and-cultural-bias/ -- The Open University is incorporated by Royal Charter (RC 000391), an exempt charity in England & Wales and a charity registered in Scotland (SC 038302).
