Final Project Topic – Cultural Perspectives on Death and Dying

 

We all know that death, the physical cessation of life, is universal to all cultures and societies.  For as long as researchers have been studying this phenomena, we can all agree that death, as we know it, signifies the termination of the living organism.

Although death followed by grief is a natural process, behaviors associated with expressing grief are bound by cultural diversity.

Each student will review and research the following articles/videos for their final paper:

  • http://www.cancer.net/coping/grief-and-bereavement/understanding-grief-within-cultural-context
  • http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&frm=1&source=web&cd=6&cad=rja&ved=0CE8QtwIwBQ&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DjZzkUVxGmCs&ei=UOlvUrb6PMS1kQekw4C4AQ&usg=AFQjCNGq_h4vmI10JqbEXi_yPZKzI-sTwA
