Review of HEART-to-HEART Pgm III: Respecting Diversity


Much work has gone into gathering and collating different viewpoints for this thoughtful and engaging programme. In a world where cultural diversity seems to be a sword edge, where even tolerance is constantly being called into question, it’s a good time to think about people from different cultures at the moment when they’re the most vulnerable.
Death comes to us all – this programme is about the way that different people approach it.
I didn’t know that Chinese people don’t want to die at home, or that for the Zuni its best not to talk too directly about approaching death. This programme is full of such tiny but vital insights into different cultures. Recommended.
