Material+Worlds+Virtual+Afterlives+Grieving+the+Dead+in+the+Twenty+First+Century

   Material Worlds: Virtual   Afterlives: Grieving   the Dead in the Twenty-First Century by Candi   Cann   looks at how Society chooses to   grieve   in Modern times. Such topics include very flamboyant head stones, wearing out deceased in forms of tattoos, shirts, and  other memorabilia,   moving the dead ( stickers on our cars to remember the deceased), and even speaking to the dead. There are other ways –such as grieving the dead in alternative spaces- that are just as common as the ones previously mentioned. Material World shows how our culture chooses to materialize death and make it a piece of us everywhere we go.                 My Summary       <span style="color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">   <span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif;">     <span style="color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">   <span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif;"> Material Worlds allowed me to look at death in a more detailed approach. Prior to me finding this book, I was not aware of all the ways we choose to materialize death. I was also shocked by some of the ways that I had never been <span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif;"> introduced to with the materialization of death. Society often has a slogan that "The death is with you everywhere you go" and this book <span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif;"> definitely reinforces this concept. We as a society take such pride in creating grand headstones, <span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif;"> tattooing  <span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif;"> ourselves in  <span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif;"> rememb  <span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif;"> rance  <span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif;">, and even putting angel wings on our cars in  <span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif;"> rememb  <span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif;"> rance  <span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif;"> of our  <span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif;"> loved  <span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif;"> one. <span style="font-family: Segoe UI,Tahoma,Verdana,sans-serif;">
