Question

Reread the case on the Golden Gate Bridge at the beginning of Chapter 4 in your textbook. Give an analysis of this case in terms of “scripts.” How do the design of the bridge and the context of use contain a structure of invitation and inhibition with respect to committing suicide? In what respects do they “invite” and in what respects “inhibit” suicide? How would the addition of a suicide barrier change the script? Can you think of certain suggestions for the design of the barrier on basis of the analysis of the script?
