One of the basic propositions of the death awareness movement (1969) was acceptance of an inevitable death to
reduce conflict and anxiety (Kubler-Ross, 1969). There is a general consensus of accepting death as a reality to
enhance life. Sigmund Freud’s theory proposed that a death instinct causes an unconscious desire to die whereas a
life instinct pertains to survival, an internalized death instinct could cause aggression within self leading to selfdestructive
behaviors (Cherry, 2013). Therefore, a balance is again sought between these dual instincts to provide a
better understanding of the human process. Ernest Becker suggested that death is one of the main causes of
psychological concerns for human beings, and this could be lessened by a good maternal upbringing which would
lead to a positive attitude towards death (Becker, 1973). This again suggests that a positive attitude about death is
imperative for developing a healthy balance within self.
