HW 32 - Thoughts following illness & dying unit

Please post a paragraph or two of your thoughts regarding dominant social practices of illness & dying in our culture.

You could, but don't have to, address one or more of the following questions:
  • What's most nightmarish about our culture's practices around illness & dying?
  • What alternative practices offer the most positive re-orientation in illness & dying?
  • What might you do or address differently as a result of what you've learned this unit, individually and with your family?
  • How do dominant social practices (DSP) around illness & dying connect to DSP around food in our culture?

Quote other students' insights from their speeches and blog posts if useful.

Due Friday, Jan. 21 at 9pm. Comments from T/W teams due Tuesday, Jan. 25 at 9pm as HW 33.
