  • "Dying is a social as well as physiological phenomenon. Each society characterizes and, consequently, treats death and dying in its own individual ways-ways that differ markedly. These particular patterns of death and dying engender modal cultural responses, and such institutionalized behavior has familiar, economical, educational, religious, and political implications."@en
