Abstract

The paper commences by examining the current problems of death education in China, identifying gaps and inefficiencies in its implementation. It considers three distinct regions—Hong Kong, Taiwan, and mainland China—as case studies to highlight diverse approaches and challenges. Additionally, the paper incorporates insights from the American experience to propose recommendations for enhancing death education in China. Death education is a crucial component of comprehensive education, essential for addressing the fear and social stigma surrounding death. By equipping individuals with accurate information and practical tools, it fosters a more open and informed discussion about mortality. This integration not only promotes increased societal tolerance and understanding but also aids individuals in developing emotional resilience and a profound appreciation of life’s complexities. Furthermore, the study emphasizes the importance of incorporating death education into various educational settings, including schools and community programs, to ensure a broad reach and impact. Such an approach can contribute to a more empathetic and prepared society, where discussions about death are approached with greater sensitivity and depth, ultimately fostering a healthier societal attitude towards end-of-life issues and bereavement.
