Extract
I believe that we are witnessing a cultural change as regards the public perception of stress. In past decades an almost military heroism, or at the very least a reticence in discussing fear, appeared to be the cultural ideal. Memories of our imperial past impelled us to keep a stiff upper lip, and recollections of war-time privation and sacrifice tempered people's willingness to complain too much about the demands and dangers of everyday life.
