Cognitive Concepts
Framing Bias
The framing of the article leans towards highlighting the shock and distress of the hostel owner. The headline and opening paragraphs emphasize her emotional reaction, potentially shaping the reader's perception of the situation to favor sympathy for the hostel owner and less understanding of the mother's circumstances. The focus on the dramatic discovery of the baby contributes to this.
Language Bias
The language used is largely neutral, but phrases like "shocking," "terrified," and "horror" are emotionally charged terms that add to the article's dramatic framing. These could be replaced with more neutral terms like "surprised," "distressed," and "upset."
Bias by Omission
The article omits the perspective of the deceased mother, Anna Smirnova. While the article presents the hostel owner's account, it lacks any information from Anna's perspective or insights into her reasons for concealing her pregnancy. This omission limits the reader's ability to understand the full context of the situation and could lead to misinterpretations of her actions.
Gender Bias
There is some potential for gender bias. The article describes the deceased mother's appearance ("looked decent"), which is not relevant to the core events. While the article could have included more contextual details about the father or male figures involved. This is somewhat unbalanced.
Sustainable Development Goals
The article highlights a case where a woman concealed her pregnancy, resulting in the death of her newborn child and herself. This demonstrates a failure in providing adequate healthcare access and support to pregnant women, particularly those facing social or personal challenges. The lack of prenatal care and medical attention during childbirth directly contributed to the tragic outcome, undermining the SDG's focus on maternal and child health.
