  • “Reflecting on My Journey Through Death and Dying: Lessons Learned and Personal Growth”

    The purpose of this review is to provide a summary of your experience through the four prompts.
    Here’s what you’ll do:
    Go back and read through each of your four prompts. As you do, think about how you can adequately summarize the entire experience.
    Next, for each prompt, answer the following questions (300 word minimum for EACH prompt):
    In general, what did I learn about the subject of death & dying that I didn’t know beforehand?
    What did I specifically learn about my own perceptions of death & dying through this prompt?
    How can what I have learned, both generally and personally, help me to potentially grow on a personal level?
    How will I use the insight that I have learned here moving forward?
    Lastly, provide some closing thoughts as to the overall experience and any last things you’d like to say about how the process has either helped or not helped.
    *Minimum of 150 words.
    PLEASE NOTE: There’s a 300-word minimum for each prompt. Therefore, your answers for all four questions should total 300. So, your overall total for this assignment should be around 1350 (4 prompts x 300 words + 150 word conclusion).
    NOTE: I am missing prompt #3 so it would be 300 words short which makes it 1050

  • “The Interconnectedness of Life and Death: Reflections on Mortality and Living Life”

    EXTRA CREDIT – A Matter of Life & Death
    Worth up to 5% of your overall grade.
    PLEASE NOTE: Entire paper should be no less than 1000 words.
    DUE DATE: No later than 5/5. Email it when completed.
    For this exercise, please consider the content of Chapter 19, and answer/discuss the
    following two parts:
    1) One of the questions this chapter starts with is… “What is the relationship between life
    and death?”
    When we take into consideration this question, we have to think about how the
    perspective of death for any one individual is directly related to their beliefs on two major
    things… 1) the quality of the life lived, 2) the belief of what’s awaiting them in the after-
    life.
    For this part, please take the following two things into consideration and answer that
    “relationship” question for yourself.
    a) How do you personally view the relationship?
    b) How does this impact the perception of your own mortality?
    ——–
    2) Ultimately, a hope for this class is that we learn to appreciate life more as we more
    closely examine the reality and certainty of death and dying. Whether as a consequence
    of walking through the text/prompts, and/or through your own lived experiences, please
    discuss how your perception of “living life” has been impacted by the process we’ve
    walked through in this course.
    a) Have you been awakened to any specific revelations or realizations?
    b) Has your attitude or perception on death and dying shifted in any way?
    c) What lessons will you take with you as a result of walking through the text and/or
    prompts?
    d) Is there anything else you’d like to mention on what you’ve learned?
