It is completely bizarre how it pervades the social culture and is even glamorized.
Perhaps, someday, someone will see fit to examine the etiology of the 'death pathology' in the USA, report on it and do a compare and contrast with generations and social values.
I think there is more wrong than right about it.
The operative word is 'civilized.' I sincerely believe a larger part of the USA has forgotten how to be civilized. I don't find anything civlized about embracing death as a 'social condition.' It all seems rather barbaric to me.
