SOCI 2713 - Aging, Death and Dying (S)

In the later adult years, we recognize age-related sequential changes. These are physiological, psychological, and sociological. This course describes these changes with an emphasis on optimal and satisfactory adaptations to them by the individual and by society. Further, this course examines the ideas of end-of-life planning, the dying process, and views of death in modern life. Psychological and socio-cultural forces that influence our understanding of death; popular culture; the medicalization of dying; issues surrounding acts of homicide, suicide, euthanasia, war, and genocide will be discussed. Prerequisite: SOCI 1113 /PSYC 1113  or instructor approval. Crosslisted with PSYC 2713 .
