CRJ-322 CRIMINAL MIND DISCUSSION 7

RESPONSE TO CO-STUDENT

I agree that the act of suicide is truly tragic because everyone has something unique that God blessed us with. Sometimes mental illness acts as a spearhead which cannot be controlled but if help is needed then assistance will be given. Learning to reach out is what is needed.
But unfortunately, it does not always happen and help comes too late because of lack of knowledge and not knowing how to read the signs.

Thank you.

RESPONSE TO CO-STUDENT

I feel and empathize with people in depression or desperate straits but what helps others is to become a champion for those who can’t fight back. Due to the nature of different scenarios the right to life is for all and nothing is so bad one cannot continue on. Suicide is usually a one party call but it can be deliberately channeled by intentional cruelty that contributes to hopelessness and despair because of norms and taboos in society.
Try to always be a champion for someone.

Thank you.

THE BRIDGE (2006 CONTROVERSIAL DOCUMENTARY) – SUICIDE

A 2006 controversial documentary centered around suicide and the surviving family being interviewed and witnesses who were there and viewed the act. The Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, California is seen as the gate to another world or an exit from a life seen as intolerable. With the witnesses and survivors is the ever eternal sadness and question if they could have helped them or if there was a warning sign(s) that should have raised a flag screaming help.

The Bridge appears to be a fixation in people’s mind that this is it. The end is here and it is not hard but a true way to go … but without a thought I cannot stay. Further it is a curiosity and phenomenon for visitors to query and question why. The ability to be empathy is what it has become a symbol to realize how troubled people are … and an exclamation point to state we can help

Thank you.
