Choose a culture other than the mainstream U.S. and research the culture's beliefs, rituals, and practices surrounding death and dying in a different society. How do these differences reflect diverse perspectives on the afterlife, mourning, and the treatment of the deceased? (Note: You may also want to consider subcultures such as the Amish and Hasidic communities.)
How does what you learned compare and contrast with your own cultural experiences regarding death and dying?
How credible do you think your sources are?
