Also feel free to include other questions/issues that have come up within the class: – Are all the sources from the same cultural perspective? If not, what similarities and/or differences are there? – Are the sources from the same cultural context as the issue they are reporting on? Does this make a difference? Explain – Is there a pattern of how the stories are reported? – How is illness/health/healing framed? What is the perspective? What is the bias? – How does the media's framing impact the interpretation of medicine/illness/healing? – What and who's narratives/view points of illness or health are featured? – Are particular causes or remedies discussed? If so, what is the perspective? Are they culturally specific? Required is a minimum of five (4) references, including the textbook.
