Valentine, C. "The Role Of The Ancestral Tradition In Bereavement In Contemporary Japanese Society." Mortality 15.4 (2010): 275-293 19p. CINAHL Plus. Web. 15 June 2016.

Valentine's research outlined in the article provides a detailed account of the cultural norms surrounding bereavement in the Japanese culture. Valentine provides background information showing the different religions that have melded together to form these norms. In doing so, Valentine shows how individuals contribute to the ever-changing cultural landscape in Japan.

The article will provide invaluable information in regards to how bereavement is handled by those in Japan. In addition, the article eloquently explains how the culture today in Japan has changed from its religious roots into a melting pot of individual approaches. This idea of developing culture is something that is common among all cultures, so it will be significant to include it in my paper.
