Psychology homework help

• How has the concept of death, death acceptance, and death anxiety changed in the course of European and American history over the past millennium or so?
• How have these changes been reflected in literature and art? These are some of the ways that we can understand how the wealth and intellectual classes were thinking.
• How have common death rituals, grieving, funeral services etc. changed over the years, and what do these changes tell us about how people thought about death in various historical periods?
• Don’t just look for slow linear changes – keep your eyes peeled for shifts that might have occurred for a period of a decade or less and then reverted back, for example times around epidemics of deadly infectious diseases.
• Hint: The victorian period has tons of strange and creepy death related peculiarities.
