Abstract
In this research I will address the question of fear of death for modern man. No doubt this question was flickering in the silence of the Covid quarantines, seeing the reaction of others to the sudden deaths. To this end, I will analyze Western attitudes towards religion, legacy, the value of life, and the change in death rituals. The conclusion is based on the current context, the worldview of modern man.
