thesis statement
Unfortunately, we are not immortal,
But nobody wants to die.
The thought of dying, speaking about prearrangement or everything else related to death is not an everyday thing that people do. The subject of death is still really taboo in our contemporary world but has never been explored that much. On TV, on plays, in books, in archaeology, in history… everybody digs in and tries to understand it themselves. They try to communicate the knowledge they have about death or make us realise things that will not come first to our mind. People are still questioning themselves and much more they keep studying the past, the space and place of death. They are trying to find the meaning of life. They try to understand the evolution of the generations through death or more the key to immortality. We commemorate the lives of the ones left through rituals depending of our religion, beliefs, ideology, symbolic tradition or ethnic tradition. Our society reflects itself in its burials cemetery or any spatial representations of death, but they are there for the needs and interest of the living, by mean of making rituals and spaces to keep the memories of the one dead. Are these spaces really the reflects of our society, our beliefs? Are they evolving as fast as the population, our generations?
