وجهات نظر اجتماعية حول الموت والاحتضار

How do we understand death, and what does it mean for the way we live? What can confronting death teach us about life, its meaning, and our common humanity? Our views on death and dying are not fixed, but are socially shaped by history, culture and personal experience. This fourth edition of Sociological Perspectives on Death and Dying invites readers to confront these questions head-on. Janet Auger, with Kirsten Roger and four new contributors, brings together the latest research, regulations, and debates on issues such as cremation, suicide, medical assistance in dying, Indigenous perspectives, and the role of the media in shaping our understanding of death. This book is not just an academic text, but a guide for meditation. He urges readers to confront their thoughts, fears, and feelings about death, while examining how Canadian society deals with both traditional practices and emerging, often controversial, choices. With contributions from: Zahra Beate Rizzi, Rita Giancola, Audrey Medwayusz, and Katherine White.
