Precis: Jamaica has it's on way of showing the care of the dead. There way of caring for the dead is very different than other countries. If you were a member of their family, would wait outside there home for up to nine days. The country is still one of the most violent countries in the world, but even the most dangerous places/people have there own way to express there feelings for their loved one's.
I feel like there are some parts of Jamaica that are more dangerous than others. Everywhere is like that. No matter where you are, or who you are everyone has their own practice to deal with their dead.

Precis: In China, there aren't allowed to be fancy tombstones anymore. People that have died, that are rich cannot show how wealthy they are even at their tombs. This is because the "poor" get irked by the fact that there are dead people still gloating their wealth.
Even though people in China were prohibited to show themselves in a way to anger others of lower class when passing, they still have a way to honor themselves. Showing how great they were.
