Many religions are against suicide and often look down upon it. According to conversation, "Many of the world’s religions have traditionally condemned suicide because, as they believe, human life fundamentally belongs to God." This supports the statement that religion is against suicide because they believe that our life belongs to God and if we commit suicide by taking our own life, we would be going against him.]]> 2018-11-08 22:52:45 UTC https://padlet.com/acobap4g5/v8sjo05wivzj/wish/302365411 https://padlet.com/acobap4g5/v8sjo05wivzj/wish/302365839 Suicide is when someone attempts to take their own life.

According to my research, they are interested so they can save lives and bring hope to those who are affected by suicide, which is also their mission. The position they take on suicide is that they prevent it by using research, education and advocacy. Some advantages of their position is that they mobilized and connected many families that were affect by this issue and they also educated others on how to prevent suicide. Some disadvantages include others who don't want to confront their issues of being suicidal and their position may not always work and be effective. AFSP influences the government to adopt their views by having local chapters in all 50 states, they also support military and veterans affected by suicide and lastly, they work with the government to initiate their plans. ]]> 2018-11-09 23:27:52 UTC https://padlet.com/acobap4g5/v8sjo05wivzj/wish/302802957 acobap4g5 https://padlet.com/acobap4g5/v8sjo05wivzj/wish/302803823 Suicide could target anyone whether it is an adult, child, man or woman.

Federal priority helps with full funding of the National Violent Death Reporting System, research and military and veteran suicide prevention. ]]> 2018-11-10 00:02:37 UTC https://padlet.com/acobap4g5/v8sjo05wivzj/wish/302805472 acobap4g5 https://padlet.com/acobap4g5/v8sjo05wivzj/wish/302805680 In the article "Suicide rates rise sharply across the United States, new report shows", states that suicide increased in many states excluding Nevada.
