Empathy and compassion. Throughout the text there is a strong emphasis on positive and necessary values of compassion, listening, and tolerance for the views of others.
Multicultural perspective. The text examines socio-cultural influences on the understanding of death, including coverage of theoretical perspectives, the agents of socialization, and the role of ethnic and cultural traditions as related to death attitudes and customs in modern, pluralistic societies.
Integrated coverage of AIDS. Discussion of the impact of AIDS is integrated throughout the text (particularly Chapter 13) and appears in the discussion of such topics as hospice care, and grief following multiple losses.
Use of examples. A wide array of anecdotes, examples, songs, poems, and personal accounts are included to ensure that the content is relevant and concrete to students.
