Nussbaum begins her argument by raising questions about education and how students ought to be taught that hunger in third world countries are

‘iconographic’ representation (Shorter, 1997: 273) within wider mass-culture: Sumner cites the example of Ken Kesey’s One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest — as salacious and sensational as it may be — which became, for a generation, a precipitation of populist anti-sentiment towards psychiatric institutions and their operative physicians.
