Sinopse

Strange Headlines explores the world of unintentionally humorous newspaper headlines, born from linguistic ambiguity and the pressures of quick news production. It examines how language errors, like misplaced modifiers or ambiguous pronouns, can transform serious news into comedic gold. For example, a poorly worded headline might inadvertently create a double entendre, offering a laugh where none was intended. The book argues that these errors are more than just funny; they're valuable lessons in effective communication.

 
The book progresses by first introducing concepts of linguistic ambiguity and journalistic pressures. Then, it presents real-world examples categorized by error type, drawn from various news sources. This approach offers a unique perspective on how even professionals can fall victim to linguistic pitfalls, highlighting the power and limitations of language in a concise format.

 
Ultimately, Strange Headlines aims to improve reader's communication skills and media literacy through the analysis of humorous journalistic mishaps.

  • Welfare of Future Children The: Reproductive Ethics and Disability Screening - cover

    Welfare of Future Children The:...

    Narrated by Rebecca Bennett, this open access practical guide to reproductive ethics navigates the complex subject of the policy around IVF treatment and disability screening based on the concerns around the welfare of future children. It focuses on 3 questions in order to examine these often complex philosophical issues: 
    · Should we allow prospective parents using IVF to implant an embryo with a condition considered to be a disability? 
    · Is routine screening for Down syndrome in pregnancy ethically acceptable, even if there is evidence that individuals may feel pressure to accept this screening? 
    · Are we justified in attempting to evaluate the potential parenting ability of those trying to access fertility treatment (e.g. disabled people or individuals with past criminal convictions) and prevent access in some cases? 
    Rebecca Bennett walks the listener through different answers to these questions, exploring issues such as whether it is ever morally wrong to reproduce, whether we have a moral obligation to try and bring the ‘best’ children we can into existence and how we can assess the quality of future lives.There is, of course, no consensus about what the ‘right’ answers are to these questions, however answers are needed. 
    This area of policy and regulation is one that, Bennett argues, is heavily influenced by intuition, social norms and bias. The Welfare of Future Children invites us to question these norms and to come to a position on these issues that emphasises reason, transparency and accountability.
