Japanese countries see suicide as a mean of apologizing for disgrace, defeat, or any other dishonorable action or event (Louie, 2014). WWII demonstrated this culture of self-sacrifice. And while the Westerners frequently misunderstand this action, certainly is not for the fundamentalist who will die for their cause,…
