Suicide The natural end of every person life on earth is dying. A lot of people, for motives that have never been fully comprehended, want to take their own lives. This action is what is called suicide, which means exactly "self-killing." For all doubt that has become a part of the wonder of suicide, this assessment of the problem is surely as detailed as any. The individual, in apparently crucial battle with the world, makes the decision to end their existence in what sums up to be a final assault toward a group that can no longer be endured. In that way, the person tries to reach a final vengeance on everything and everyone that have caused their positions of depression.

The researcher's basic understanding of suicide is that it is a growing issue in the United States. I have learned that until recently suicide among young women and men accounted for less than 7% of suicide (Hawton, K., & van Heeringen, K. 2009). As the population of young has increased so has suicide. Young men around the ages of 15-24 now account for more than 25% of the male suicides. For young women it is about in the same age bracket it is about 14%. So nearly 7,000 women commit suicide a year and males are around 20,000 suicides, annually (Beautrais, A. 2003). Although suicides among the young get the most attention, people believe suicide among adults such as Annie in the movie 'What Dreams May Come" does not happen. However, reality checks, it happens. A considerable amount of suicides are done by adults that are pursuing to end a life of misery like Annie. People aged 25 and older make up almost 39% of the annual suicide count. To date, White males are the highest. They account for approximately 20% of the population, but seem to account for almost 30% of the annually deaths by suicide. For some odd reason, white males have the highest rates than any other race and gender. Though they don't make up much of the population, they are still available to suicide.

Age and suicide seem to always be in the same sentence, but does age actually matter? If a person wants to die, I think at any period they will do it. There is no stopping that person, like there was no stopping for Annie in the movie unless a person seeks help. Most do not like it or think that they need it. The term manipulative is nowhere utilized more disapprovingly than with respect to suicide. More important, it is exploited erroneously to suggest that a suicide is not significant. It should be thought of that devastating suicide efforts are often made by people who are expecting to influence or alter the emotional state of other people even though they will not be around to commemorate the achievement or displeasure of the exertions. Being a born again Christian suicide in my faith is out of the question. In my opinion it is a cop out because it is an easy way out, yet at the same time it does takes courage to take your own life.

In the movie, "What Dreams May Come," I can sort of relate to the fictional characters after knowing some personal cases that were similar. I personally have family members that have suffered with bouts of depression after the tragedy of Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Like the characters in the movie, this family also lost two boys that had drowned in the disaster. What is fascinating about this situation is that before this incident occurred, it was discovered that the family has a history of suicides that trace back to the reconstruction period or after slavery. In the movie, it could appear that Annie because she had suicidal thoughts was crazy, which was what many in my family called their loved ones that committed suicide. Having suicidal meditations does not imply that you are crazy, or essentially mentally ill. Persons who attempt suicide are often intensely distressed and the immense majority is unhappy to some area. This depression may be perhaps a reactive depression which is an entirely normal response to complex surroundings, or can be a sad depression which is the result of a diagnosable mental sickness with other compelling reasons. It may also be a mixture of the two. The reservation of mental illness is a tough one because both these types of depression may have comparable indications and belongings. What's more, the...

Although, I don't totally agree with all of them, I will discuss how I think that they combine with my life thinking. Durkheim suggested three primary forms of suicide, some with sectors. These three types of suicide were egoistic, altruistic, and anomic. With egoistic suicide, Durkheim propositions that a person will require for suicide if they have too little interaction with society (Hawton, K., & van Heeringen, K. 2009). Durkheim believes that a person that does not seem like they fit in to society will not apply to the same standards, laws, or routines and will be more likely to keep his worth and philosophies above that of the humankind. His studies show that people that come from smaller families, women more than men, and Protestants more than Catholics, will commit suicide. These are only a few of the standards given. However, I agree with this. I would make it out to believe that most people that interrelate with a larger group would be stronger.
I actually only have one problem with the egoistic theory. I am a little confused as to who it would apply to. Does a person have to get the sense of belonging? Does a child that is robbed of not having interaction run a higher peril of committing suicide? The one occasion that I can think of is the military prisoners of war. Does a prisoner reach a higher risk of committing suicide after being denied of the collaboration that person has had all their whole life?

The following, altruistic suicide, is the total reverse of egoistic suicide. A person who executes altruistic suicide thinks that everybody else is more effective than they are. Every things of the larger group take form over the individual which leads to suicide. One example is the case of a soldier during a war that chose to jump on a grenade as a kind of honorable suicide. This procedure of suicide because of my mother's side of the family is Japanese and during World War II they had family members that were actually Kamikaze. The Kamikaze were suicide attacks done by the military aviators from the Japan against Allied naval vessels in the last days of the Pacific theatre of World War II, intended to eliminate as many warships as they can. At the time, my family sought this manner of death as being very unselfish. Do I agree with this now? Of course not because in my opinion, though I know that what they did was out of a place that they felt was right for them, the whole thing to me is just ridiculous. I also disagree with Durkheim ideas because I think that this is not a form of suicide but a sort of training. This man or woman is skillful in order to give their life for his nation. It is not practical to suppose that the person falling on the grenade believes that they are committing suicide. Separately from that characteristic, I feel that I understand this form of suicide the most. I think that being ignored by the group considered authoritative can lead to a person wanting to take their life. There are a lot of times where we have watched the news about the kid no one even looked at that took their own life.

Next, there is anomic suicide. This theory was sort of the hardest for me to comprehend since it appears to go against reason at first. My understanding of anomic is that a person has to have a certain sum or amount of standards or laws inflicted on them. There would have to be an equal amount to keep the person more balanced. Too few or too much could head to death. This is fix to the quantity of choices an individual is given. If the individual has too little selection, they criticize. But if they have a little more, they usually do not know what should be done. If I could discover adequate proof, I would like to contend against this point possibly in another paper. One instance is with the Classical and Modern Social Theory by Heine Anderson and Lars Bo Kasperson who use the feature of pay on a job.…
