This week in class we watched the Movie Tuesdays with Morrie. It was a really intriguing movie that really got me thinking about a lot of topics that are a big part of life. One of the things that Morrie talked to Mitch about was Death. Morrie discussed with Mitch how Americans are afraid of death because they don't really know what it is. I agree with Morrie that people are afraid of the unexpected, and no one truly know what death is which is why it's considered to be such a taboo topic among Americans. Death is typically associated with loss which is why people may relate it to materialism. When someone dies people feel as if their whole essence died with them, and may feel as if the individual is gone forever. Morrie taught me that people should view death as a celebration of someones life rather than only a loss of their physical body.
