Tuesdays with Morrie

In the movie Tuesday With Morrie a major concept is death. Its more about the fear of death. This is directly related to American Culutre. In the United States death is a horrible thing. When someone dies it is thought of the most awful and devestating thing. It is a taboo topic. People do not wish to discuss death or the death of there loved ones. We do not want to let go of someone and celebrate them moving into a different world, instead I think of it as a sort of selfeshness in a way because, we do not allow people the peace of mind to pass away. It is related to materialism because, being materialistic makes you selfish in a way.
