Psychology. What is the affect of the mental distruction on society when?

Question

...a suicide killer elimnates any possiblity of closure?

Answer 1

If you're talking about someone who's taken other people's lives then I'm always glad to see them kill themselves to save the taxpayers money. If they had harmed someone in my family it would be better that they kill themselves so I don't end up in jail doing it for them. But I would be upset for a while that I didn't get the opportunity.

If you're talking about someone who simply takes their own life then I'm sure it hurts their family but I don't think the rest of society cares.

Answer 2

"closure" is not a collective, societal thing. Each person must achieve closure on their own. It's normal to grieve, but at some point each of us needs to take responsibility for our own feelings.

I sometimes think that when a killer survives its worse because the victim's family has something to project their feelings onto and often they can't seem to even begin the process of healing until that person is brought to justice. And sometimes even then that person is just a constant reminder to them of the fact that ultimately there is no way to set things back the way they were.

Healing comes to an individual by forgiving and moving on. And the power to do that is within each individual. When we claim that our ability to forgive and move on depends on the actions of some external person or circumstance we give that power away. We can not change others. That is outside of our control. What we can do is work through our pain and choose to forgive and move on. That is all.

Answer 3

Need for closure is a psychological term used to describe an ***individual’s*** desire for a quick answer as opposed to enduring ambiguity.

It is a need usually provoked after experiencing an emotional conclusion to a difficult life event, such as the breakdown of a close interpersonal relationship or the death of loved one. We need to know what happened and why.

There is no ambiguity in the case of a suicide bomber-or murder-suicides--they are dead. We know precisely what happened, even though we may not know why precisely.

What you are referring to is the frustration felt due to the elimination of any possibily of REVENGE--to imprison or execute the perpertrator. They have done that themselves.

Answer 4

We live in times of minimal social cohesion, wherein many feel alienated, isolated and manically depressed.
