Answer: Mythology in the ancient period served to explain individual natural phenomena, and it defines the eternal question of the afterlife.

Explanation:

It is in nature for man to understand the things that surround him. Due to the lack of scientific evidence and generally the underdevelopment of science, man has, from the earliest times, formed myths to explain particular natural phenomena. These beliefs were passed on from one generation to the next, thus maintaining continuity.

He defined specified natural disasters as the punishment of the gods for their mistakes and attributed them to the reaction of the gods. The most common natural phenomena, such as thunder, could not be explained by a man from an exact distance, which is why he defined them as divine. For fear of death, the man also used mythology. He set out specific principles and rules that made it desirable to live to facilitate an eternal, afterlife.

Two ways social factors can affect individual views on death and dying

Another example would be a society where people have a high mortality rate, someone has seen death and witnesses it very often, his attitude on death would also very likely be much different than of that person who rarely sees death and dying.
