This short video is based upon terror management theory which was developed by anthropologist Ernest Becker and social psychologist's Jeff Greenberg, Sheldon Solomon, and Tom Pyszczynski.

According to Terror Management Theory, humans are aware of their own mortality which, in turn, produces intense existential anxiety. To cope with and ease the produced existential anxiety, humans pursue either literal or symbolic immortality.

This video was made as part of an assignment but I have now made it public.
