Real death

or not a fear of death is rational is the crux of Jeffrie Murphy’s article Rationality and the Fear of Death. He sets out to argue that it is irrational to fear death and concludes that a fear of death is only rational if it helps the person live a meaningful life and irrational in all other cases when it has no real purpose in helping one live the way he wishes to. Murphy’s conclusion however leaves much to be desired in terms of strong evidence for his claim that fearing death is irrational. I…

right? One last possible reason for Daryl's death could be the shock factor. Creator Robert Kirkman has said that Negan killed a "beloved" character, and Daryl is arguably the most popular character on the show.

parallel to “The Road” by Cormac McCarthy, only one truly stood out to me as directly related in theme, portrayal, and literary style. This has to be “The Last Day of the World” by Ray Bradbury. Both stories have deep rooted themes around nihilism and death, but are substantially distinct in their portrayal of these ideas. The premise is the same as the rest of the short stories; it is the end of the world, how will people react, adapt, cooperate, fight... McCarthy focuses his story on the…

It is unavoidable. “The Masque of the Red Death” by Edgar Allen Poe demonstrates this concept about death with great precision. This short story is about a selfish…

Often seen in medical shows, like Grey’s Anatomy, CPR is a real lifesaving technique that saves many lives daily. Medical shows tend to be more glamorous and not as grounded as the realistic profession is. A common misconception with CPR and television is that a few minutes with CPR a patient is well.
