In Health, we have been studying Death, Dying, and the Afterlife. We have learned about some different cultural beliefs and traditions. We learned about what people do when someone dies in there beliefs for example like Dia de Los Muertos from Mexico,families build private altars ofrendas with food, photographs, and candles to welcome returning souls of deceased relatives with celebration rather than mourning. So basically most beliefs give offerings celebrations etc for the deceased relatives.

There were a number of ways that I demonstrated respect towards other cultural beliefs during this unit. I did this by actively listening to my peers when they shared their traditional practices, pronouncing cultural terms correctly, and avoiding assumptions or judgments about beliefs that differ from my own.
