We discuss two very different perspectives on death and death anxiety in class—the epicurean perspective and the existential perspective. Which perspective seems more plausible, more reasonable, or more valuable to you? Why?
Be specific. You must include all the following elements in your paper (please write your response in paragraphs,not numbered, listed, or bulleted):
Paragraph 1-Intro paragraph: what is death anxiety mean to you? Frame your paper by giving a scenario when you or
someone experiences death anxiety. Briefly explain how the two perspectives (epicurean and existential) we discussed in
class resolve death anxiety. Your last sentence in your first paragraph should include your thesis: which theory are you
choosing?
Paragraph 2: Explain how your chosen theory works in general. Include a quote from one of the articles.
Paragraph 3: Relate your theory to the real-life scenario you discussed in paragraph 1. Illustrate how your chosen theory
works in response to death anxiety. How does your theory work to make us feel better when experiencing death anxiety?
