The Intersection of Mortality and Social Justice

Understanding mortality can enrich social justice movements and foster a more compassionate society. Rather than fearing death, recognizing it as an inherent part of life empowers individuals to engage more deeply with social issues. This perspective encourages an examination of how societal structures displace the fear of death, leading to behaviors that sustain inequality. Embracing mortality can thus cultivate a commitment to creating more equitable communities for everyone.
