L’internationalisation des entreprises marocaines en Afrique Subsaharienne : Quels enjeux ?

Abstract

Everywhere the perception of pain and death depends on culture. Of course the psychophysiological processes are identified as such, but they reveal an affective dimension and take on religious and metaphysical meanings.
In the Maghreb, the religious factors predominate, but unlike the Christian cultures, the purifying roles are not the most important. Pain is not something to be cultivated but to be reduced. Death remains a meeting with God and the Believer prepares for this with ardour. Above all it is the family and friends who have to prepare for this ordeal of separation, hence the ritual which serves not so much to tame death as to help society to get over the job of mourning.
Today new functions have been assigned to treatment and to hospital institutions to “evacuate” pain and death. These are so many new functions that are allocated to bioethics which should be listening and responding to expectations but not letting itself be manœuvred by the forces present.
