What questions would you ask the sources for the three topics that you identified?

Yoomi, I would like you to be much more specific and detailed in your discussion about ideas for thesis. If you are not comfortable writing about your ideas, then you should try sketching or producing other graphical explanations of your interests.
Of course, reducing suicide is an important goal, but I am unclear about how to "educate the public through alternative choices". Remember that we are product designers; do you feel that it would be possible to develop a product that would educate the public in this way? Do you think that any product could help someone experiencing suicidal ideas? Would it somehow convince them that life is really OK, like in the old movie, It's a Wonderful Life? You can watch that movie here http://video.google.com/videosearch?hl=en&source=hp&q=it's+a+wonderful+life&um=1&ie=UTF-8&ei=tKPbSv-QAufj8Aba1aC3BQ&sa=X&oi=video_result_group&ct=title&resnum=9&ved=0CDsQqwQwCA#.
