	Mass Suicide \| Holology.com
		Individual suicides preceded by such thoughts are fairly common events that affect all socio-economic groups but mass suicides are typically thought of as rare and affecting only brainwashed dupes belonging to strange cults.
		In fact, mass suicides are much more common than most would expect and when the scope and chronology is extended to encompass entire societies then the prevalence of mass suicides is nothing short of a pandemic of global proportions.
		Mass suicide can also be seen in the case of archaic cultures around the globe, just like the languages that go with them, dying off by the thousands.

	Suicide Cleanup
		Suicidal ideation may result from the experience of emotional pain outweighing the individual's coping strategies and resources for dealing with that pain (leftist view) or from an individual's unwillingness to impose self-discipline and care about others more than him or herself (right-wing view).
		Suicidal attacks by pilots were common in the 20th century: the attack by U.S. torpedo planes at the Battle of Midway was very similar to a kamikaze attack.
		As of 2001 in the USA, suicides outnumber homicides by 3 to 2 and deaths from AIDS by 2 to 1 [4] However, it is probable that the incidence of suicide is under-reported due to both religious and social pressures.

	Jonestown
		In her book, Making Sense of the Jonestown Suicides, Judith Weightman suggests that the Temple members may have seen the new religion as a viable option to the more radical counter-culture and anti-racist movements (such as the Black Panthers) that seemed to be cropping up in greater and greater numbers at that time.
		Jones, apparently, saw the suicide as a revolutionary act, and in the last years of the Temple, an emphasis on religious ideas, particularly those of mainstream Christianity, was replaced by an emphasis on the political nature of the group.
		Suicide cannot be revolutionary for Marx because suicide, particularly en masse, by an oppressed people effectively eliminates the very people who would be revolting.

	Suicide Circle / Jisatsu Sakuru
		Suicide Circle (aka Suicide Club, aka Jisatsu Sakuru, aka Jisatsu Club) was without a doubt one of the most eagerly-awaited post-Ring 'New Wave of Japanese horror' films of 2002.
		Opening with a notorious sequence concerning an exceptionally bloody mass suicide of 54 schoolgirls under a Tokyo-bound train at Shinjuku station, the film has been much talked-about, analysed and discussed, not merely as an effective piece of horror entertainment, but as a deeply biting, scathing and scary commentary on the state of Japanese contemporary society.
		Suicide Club is more horrifying in its complex themes than any other film I've seen to date, partially because there are no supernatural forces at work (as in Cure), and even though those themes are taken to their ultimate (and therefore slightly implausible) limit, they are grounded in reality.
