In South Korea, due to world economic recession and expectation from people, a few cases of suicide are released by television or newspaper almost everyday. Because of that, some experts started to call it as "Republic of Suicide". This syndrome is really embarrassed things to me. We called ourselves as 'developed country'. However, the safety net which can prevent suicider from committing suicide.
There are several reasons why people choose one of the most extreme way to solve their own problem. To begin with, I think too high expectation from their surrounding people. When you were student, you might be suffered from getting good scores(or points) and going to good university such as SKY, YES. Before leaving university, you would be getting a fancy job to make up your parents satisfaction and expectation. Lack of conversation between family is another cause of killing oneself. In these day, we are living in busy society and keep up with the joneses so that most people just more concentrated on working than talking with each other. Last but not least, economic recession is another excuse. From the end of 2008 until now, national and international economic conditions looks not so good. So company need to money recover themselves, they tried cutting labours. Because of that, many 'Fathers' lost their job so that they couldn't afford to raise up their children and partner. Therefore, they committed suicide with other family member.
However, we can take preventive measures against deciding suicide. First of all, we can activate vocational school. In our society, there are no chance if you are not good at study. But all people is not good at study. So if we adopt vocational school more friendly, student would open their ability to the society. Because of that, unemployment rates, one of the main reason to commit suicide, would be reduced. Secondly, company give more free time to their members. If members spent more time with their family, they could find problems and needs more easily.
Finally, government should spend more money on preventing suicide. Although other sector budgets are getting increase, those of suicide are still stable. If government makes more policy and spends more money, a number of suicide case would be decreased.
In conclusion, 'Repulic of suicide' is really shame thing in our society. However, if we do above solution, we could sort this problem out. Moreover, we give more courage to teenager so that they would grow better than before. |
