gophercentral:As a testament to the power of video games and movies, some Japanese children do not believe death is permanent, the Kyodo news agency said Tuesday. The Nagasaki prefectural Board of Education ordered a survey of children's attitudes on death and dying in November and December after an 11-year-old girl was convicted of murdering a fellow student. Of 3,600 fourth, six and eighth graders in public schools, 15.4 percent said they believe dead people can be resurrected based on what they had seen on television, movies and video games. In the case of the 11-year-old convicted of murder, a family court statement said the girl had only a "vague notion" of death. On releasing the survey results, a school board official called for parents to ensure their children learn the real, and not virtual, meaning of life.I too have to agree with them on this issues as I said in the next acrticle below this one.
