Sociology Khadijah

Émile Durkheim

- Durkheim identifies four different types of suicide which are egoistic suicide, altruistic suicide, anomic suicide and fatalistic suicide.

- Rather than focusing efforts to minimize suicide on individuals, he claimed that collective public undertakings to make protective structural changes are a more effective channel for safeguarding individual well-being.

- Suicides happened when members of a group or social category are subjected to tremendous emotional and physical coercion, leaving little hope for a future free of pain.

- Durkheim was not interested in the subjective assessments made by suicide relatives for why they chose suicide, but rather considered suicide, like alcoholism or violence, as a symptom of societal breakdown.

Society

- Suicide rates have long been thought to be related to cultural, social, political, and economic variables.

- Suicide outcome is enhanced by the loss of necessary social supports.

- There are large differences in suicide rates across race, sex, age, and ethnicity.

More than half the death were by suffocation.

Conformity Khadijah

- Bullying as part of a clique may reuslt in victims

- Gender conformity leading to suicidal ideation.

- Religious adhearences impacts on suicide rates

- Absence of stable relationships between people.

- Theoretical collective suicide driven by social issues.

Anthropology Khadijah

- Anthropology has historically aimed at generalizing cultural forms uncovered through long-term ethnographic engagements

- The development of medicalization "pathologized"suicide on an individual basis.

- Statistical representations and their consequences on populations and suicide, has become the subject of ethnographic investigation in anthropology.

- Ethnographic fieldwork and a careful investigation of case studies and suicide narratives gathered and analyzed within cultural, political, and economic contexts highlighted the variations in suicidal practices even more clearly.
