About the topic: In recent times, the world has been marked by tragic incidents of death, including terrorism, refugee deaths at sea, and wars in various regions. Families are experiencing the loss of loved ones, and entire nations are mourning.

We will analyze the feelings of a nation mourning its dead and compare transcultural approaches to death and mourning.
