Culture is a major determinant of human behaviour and to a large extent predicts how each person perceives his environment. Death is perceived different by different people and in different degrees. For most religious cultures, there is the belief that death means an ultimate accomplishment for the deceased and therefore a higher hierarchy as a spiritual being. Other people(different culture) believe human beings are purely biological beings and just like every other animal, death is a given and has no spiritual attachments.
Stereotypes influence how we think about other people. Stereotypes direct our attention toward some things and away from others, affecting what we notice, and what we remember later on.
