Paper Summary:

This paper explores Marshall Kilduff's book, "Suicide Cult", which examines the life of Jim Jones and his cult the People's Temple, who committed mass suicide in Guyana. The paper illustrates how the tragedy could have been prevented, if only the world was more accepting of each others rights and well-being. The author writes that the power of the cult can lead to suicide as an answer for anything.

From the Paper:

"In 1978 the suicide-massacre of 900 people in South America shocked the world as Reverend Jim Jones' cult, named the Peoples Temple. In his book "Suicide Cult," Marshall Kilduff steps into Jim Jones' past and reflects on the man who brainwashed hundreds of people into donating their Social Security checks to his church, and eventually committing suicide in the Guyana jungle."
