Question One

According to Lester (2011), the meaning of suicide varies from one cultural environment to another, and what one society could view as a case suicide, may be a ritual activity in another. Therefore, the article makes it clear that the contemporary society ought not to view suicide through a rigid definition, but instead one ought to make an effort to determine the activities that one considers suicide from the perspective of the communities that engage in the activity. Consequently, the article puts forth some of the issues that highlight contemporary issues related to suicides such a case of suicide bombers engaged in terrorism activities.
