Sociology 310: Death and Dying - Second Meeting
Welcome to class. Please have a seat and I will begin your first lecture.
Lecture Notes (Topics covered include a basic definition of death, the physiology of death, some basic terms.)
As many of you have stated you have previous experience with death, I'd like to discuss the stages of grieving in class.
1. Denial and Isolation
2. Anger, Rage, Envy, and Resentment
3. Bargaining
4. Depression
5. Acceptance
Please share your thoughts, if you believe these are in the correct order, if any steps have been missed, or if one or more does not belong. Also, feel free to color your thoughts with personal examples as much as you'd like to share, and debate how different circumstances can change this system.
Assignment for Next Class: Read Emile Zola's short story - Death of Olivier Becaille (Scroll down) You will be given as essay topic from it in your next class to complete before you leave.
