Like everything in life, human beings have different perspectives, and a good death is something that each human being has different views on; this can be based on our culture or religion. Although perhaps today we have a perspective of a good death, this perspective has changed over time. For many people, a good death means being able to plan our last, or others is being able to be sure that they were cared for by someone or for others; everything passed quickly, and they did not have to deal with any illness situation. I feel that my family has their perspective on a good death based on the pre-modern society since religion is very much included in this event.
