What is it like to age and die in other countries? A few examples have been provided in the learning activities, but for this discussion you will be tasked with researching how a culture of your choosing views aging and dying.

Choose a country and search the web for facts about what it’s like to age and die in a country or culture of your choosing. Then, in your initial post, respond to each of the following:

• Provide a brief description of the country or culture you chose.
• How does religion and/or culture influence how the country or culture views aging and death?
• What are their views on medicine and treatment of the aging?
• Compare this to how we treat our aging population and death and dying in the United States.

After completing your initial post, respond to at least ONE of your classmates’ posts. In your responses, share similarities and differences you found between the cultures that you and your fellow classmates researched and how those factors influence quality of life.
