Aries distinguishes between 'tame death' and 'death of the self' based on focus and perception. Tame death centers on the dying person's experience and is approached calmly, while death of the self is seen as a non-threatening sleep, prioritizing community concerns. Historically, tame death has led to the development of an 'ars moriendi' or art of dying.

1. Aries' description of an attitude toward death he called "tame death" differs from what he called
"death of the self" by which of the following characteristics? Tame death is one where the focus
of attention is almost entirely on what the death means for the dying person. In tame death, death
is typically faced more calmly than it is in death of the self. In death of the self, death is seen as a
sort of sleep and thus is unthreatening. In death of the self, the concerns and needs of the
community take precedence over those of the dying person. An "ars moriendi" developed
historically around an attitude of tame death.
