After we had lisening to David Bowie's last song, we had to think the reason why western culture is so afraid of death and why death is a taboo topic.
Personally, I think that death is a big rite of passage because you pass from one stage of life, where you are alive, to another which no one knows about it. It is the only rite of passage which everyone does but no one knows about it.
From my point of view, death is a taboo for the western culture because they are affraid from it, considering that nobody knows what is going to happen or where do we go once we are dead. Because of that, they rarely talk about death and they continue living life like there is not an end. They think that death is just like a virus and if they talk about it, it will spread.
In my opinion, I think that we do not have to be affraid of something that is going to happen anyway and we should not treat it like a taboo topic, because if we start to treat everything we are affraid for like that, we wouldn't be able to talk about anything.
