Cultural influences have a role in influencing children’s concepts of death

Question Description

I’m working on a public health multi-part question and need guidance to help me learn.

Cultural influences have a role in influencing children’s concepts of death. In the United States, Christian beliefs have been the most pervasive and adults have typically avoided “death-talk” with children. Different cultures have various religious traditions and practices that have varying interpretations of dying, death, mourning, and the afterlife. For this week’s discussion forum, each student will be required to answer the following questions.

A. What has been learned from studies of children’s concepts of death in other cultures?

B. What recent events or current trends in our own culture do you see as having a possible influence on children’s concepts of death? Explain your answer and offer useful examples.
