Popis:	In his seminal work, The Denial of Death (1973), Ernest Becker asserts that human activity is “designed largely to avoid the fatality of death and… den[y] it… [as the] destiny of man” (p. ix). As Becker explains, humans push death out of their lives and out of their minds through various means. While Becker’s claims regarding the denial of death were meant to apply to all cultures, not all communities are dismissive of death.
