ABSTRACT

In a rapidly changing society, it is necessary to find a method for suicide prevention as individual crises become a social problem. Over the past decade, the increase in suicides has pushed it to fourth place as a cause of death. Major factors have been an increase of youth suicide and the prevalence of depression. Despite the promulgation of a 'cultural composition law for suicide prevention and respect for life' and regulations for the prevention of suicide and the commitment of many institutions in local government and the private sector, it is difficult to focus on a fundamental measure that can function as a single pivot point to reduce the number of suicides. The concept of global citizenship assumes altruism and assents to diversity. By improving the rigid social system and overly uniform relationships, it can reduce the causes of suicide and thus has the potential to help prevent suicide. The development of a successful suicide prevention program can leverage existing global citizenship education.
