Death and Dying Discussion
Please answer THREE of the following questions. EACH answer should be in the form of a single paragraph (no less than 5 sentences, no more than one page). Be as complete as possible in your answers. No works cited page. Use in-text citations if you are paraphrasing or quoting an author, e.g., (Hampton et al., 9). Some of the online articles do not have page numbers. In such cases, the author’s name is sufficient.
1) How does Ellen Badone’s anthropological approach to death and dying differ from the historical and sociological approach of Aries and Walter?
2) Is transhumanism a “secular” movement? Why or why not?
3) How have some Black Americans used literature, art, and religion to resist and make meaning out of their experiences of racialized violence and death?
4) How has and does the Aboriginal experience of death and dying in Canada differ from that of non-Aboriginal Canadians? What does that tell us about the shortcomings of some descriptions of death and dying in the West?
5) How do the Aboriginal elders interviewed by Hampton et al. describe their approach to death and dying? How do their cultural and spiritual resources help them in their journey from life to death?
