Why do you want to offer death education courses in universities?
Death education is of great significance to college students.

Not only can they improve their minds, enhance their ability to resist stress, let them rethink and plan their lives at the end of their lives, but also let them learn to respect the lives of others and accompany those they cherish and love.

Reflection is also inevitable-when we hate these behaviors that ignore other people's lives and feel sorry for these fragile hearts, have you ever wondered whether the outside world attaches importance to their mental health as much as their achievements in the process of their education, and teaches them to cherish their own and other people's lives and treat death correctly?

In fact, as early as 20 19, Gu Jin suggested that the whole people should carry out death education to make people respect death and life. It is precisely because in traditional education, death education has always been an evaded or even taboo topic, which leads to the fact that the degree of children receiving death education is almost blank. China has a large number of children hiding behind adults to attend funerals. When asked about the death of relatives and friends around them or even pets, they will only interpret it as "going to heaven", "falling asleep" and "coming back after a long time".

It's time to change this cautious, evasive and conventional concept and behavior. Because the evasive attitude may be effective in a short time, but the lack of long-term death education is likely to lead to tragic consequences. For children who are not born afraid of life, it is necessary to discuss death openly in the right way and let them know the relationship between death and life.

What we need to realize is that compared with the overall development scale of domestic universities and the number of college students, the popularity of death education courses in more than 20 universities is far from enough. In the long run, the theoretical method and practical mode of carrying out death education in China need to be further improved and developed. Death education in colleges and universities is only one step. It is still very important for us to guide students to pay attention to, understand and appreciate the value of life.
