Death is a necessity to culture and society therefore it is irrational to fear the unenviable and the necessary. Death whether physical or non-physical will always cause change. The change that is caused by death does not always have to be direct but can manifest itself as an indirect change. Throughout time societies have risen and fallen, times changes, nothing is ever going to stay the same. Death is a factor that will impact everyone who is alive as they will meet death. As society’s change and cultures evolve so do the people; to keep change occurring death must ensue for creation to occur.
Society’s and cultures depend on death. Death is the drive of progression which drives society’s and cultures to get farther from the unetible death. To begin with death has impacted all of the living creatures that live on this world. Every creature and organism s goes is to live and avoid death. Death has caused creatures to adapt in order to avoid it, they have features that prolong their life on this world, but is not a permanent solution. All creatures have a biological time and no matter how hard a creature can try to survive and what features they have, in the end their body will give out on them.
The difference being for humans is that we are aware that we will die and were not meant to live forever. Some creatures do understand that there time will eventually come, but they are not intelligent enough to manipulate their body’s potential. Humans have only evolved from being unintelligent creatures to highly educated beings that understand what no other creature has. Humans having several cultures and societies only because they fear death. In the early beginning for humans, they feared death, almost as if by instinct.
They followed the instinct that every creature has, to produce more of their kind. Humans and creatures only produce more because death is the driving force that keeps them from multiplying. Humans eventually started to group up with more humans in order to prevent death so that their kind would be in less risk of dying. From having more people to hunt to prevent hunger to fending off predators. With the success of people not dying as often these groups would grow. With thousands of years and even millions, society’s started to from.
By having a society it ensured that they would surviving longer osed to being alone. These society’s needed a way to pass on information to the younger generations so they would not follow their wrong paths and lead to deaths so they would pass on information to them to prevent any more deaths. This is when cultures emerged in order to protect people within the society. Knowledge of what could help people live longer and how not to die. Some members of these societies would die in order to explore how to live longer or to ensure their society’s survival and would choose to end their life early to ensure that their society would prevail.
With the more knowledge they received the farther they could avoid death. Even in modern times this process continues; people spend their whole lives to find out cures and propel technology so that it will better societies and help their survival. Wars are fought among other societies because they fear that their society’s is in danger of death and people are willing to die for the greater good of their society by preventing others deaths. Death has always been a part of our society, if not the sole creator of societies of every living creatures.
Furthermore death has as great force on our culture. Culture is always changing. Some cultures are older than others but with time they tend to change. Cultures change because generations die and newer generations might slightly change from the older generations and with time, these slight changes can completely change a culture if not completely destroy a culture. With the death of a culture a new culture is born.
All cultures change, none of them are permanent as death will change the culture by he deaths of the people who hold the knowledge of the culture and the upholders of the cultures. Culture gives people a sense of belonging and a strong connection to people which empowers them by letting the feel as if they are immortal by being part of the culture. If a person is to die they might feel as if even though they have died, what they have contributed to their culture will live on for other newer generations to live by and will know who contributed to what; as such and history books and historical records hold.
Each culture has a different view on different subjects and this is because some view death in different ways. Some cultures might encourage death in order to give the younger generation a chance of their own to be part of this world other culture might view death as a evil that plagues the world that they must find a solution too. When a person with a big influence on a certain culture succumbs to death, the culture is altered as a new person will lead and subtly change this culture.
If the culture does not change and stays the same, the culture would eventually die as no changes it will make it become outdated in modern society. New cultures arise when there is a new need. If a mass of people are dying or under circumstances that do not encourage life, then people will form a new culture that will create balance in death in life, Once again the people will be fighting against death, death being the key factor and necessity for a culture to be born, destroyed or maintained and the sole purpose of a society’s ed and creation of it.
Death is a must on the earth. Without death, the world would be very populated and the younger generations would be struggling to get a grip. If death did not occur society and cultures would severely be impacted. Society and culture might not exist. Without the fear of death or a biological clock that humans must be aware of, there would be mo reason to procreate more
