On Education Of Death Awareness

With the rapid development of science and technology, people's existing and living conditions have being improved. However, modern people are buried in material. They often forget the inevitable outcome awareness of death that everybody is to have. Death awareness is often eliminated from people's awareness. This makes people lose the ability to realize and obtain the final meaningfulness and value of life. Meanwhile, this leads to man's decreasing of existing character and increasing of existing worry. Therefore, there are many youngsters'killing themselves, ignoring their and other lives.Because of our traditional culture that Chinese people like to talk about living, but they avoid talking about death, Chinese people are unwilling to reflect on death. Even they think the number of 4 is unlucky and they try not to use the number. So we need to develop a kind of reasonable death awareness in our education to help people understand the meaningfulness and value of life deeply.After the concept of Death Education was proposed in foreign countries, we develop the Education of Death Awareness. The purpose of the Education of Death Awareness is to help the adolescent realize the death, face the death, conquer the death, surpass the death .The aim of Education of Death Awareness is to help the adolescent to form the reasonable view of death, raise their death character. So they can care for the life, cherish the life. The view of education in facing the death is the Education of Death Awareness'staring point and the final setting point. This thesis mainly studies the idea of Education of Death Awareness and provides some tactics.The thesis is divided into four parts:The first part of thesis is mainly to know the awareness of death. By knowing death, understanding death, this thesis combs the death awareness in Chinese and western philosophy.
