Suicides expected to soar in Japan

Economic woes definitely play a vital role in abetting suicide rates within Japan. Along with financial reasons cultural factors too are partly at play. Japanese society is known for its unforgiving attitude towards those who fail to climb the ladder of success. In fact, they consider suicide as the legitimate solution to all the vexing problems of life. So, whether it is a massive debt making you a burden on your family or political scandal that taints those around you it is your responsibility to protect them by offing yourself. Suicide in other words is an honorable way of taking responsibility for your future. Japan's most popular religions- Shinto and Buddhism-by being permissive actually abet the practice. The country's legal system doesn't do much to deter suicides, either. The penal code has no provision for killing yourself, which means the government can't seize your property or send you to jail after a failed attempt. With financial crisis in full swing recession related suicides can only rise and not fall.
