Compassion

Well, it's been a while. I've been very busy, with family visits and homework from other courses. But I haven't forgotten about my blog! So here's another entry.
As part of a project in another class I came across this TED talk. It's about compassion. And I think it shows an important part of dieing that may not always be in archaeology: the living side of death.

In our talk about animals and human remains we have briefly talked a little bit about compassion, but I think that this is a little bit different. This talks about having compassion for those who are dieing in the present, which is a lot more difficult than having compassion for those who died in the past. I think so anyways.
Anyway, I love TED Talks and wanted to share one on this blog, but I hadn't found one which was really appropriate until now. Enjoy!
