Research Paper On Suicide

Imagine in a place where everyone that you knew all displayed depression and everyone lead to giving up. And you were the only one that saw the world as a beautiful place. How would you help others in need? There would be no one trying to help one another and you were the only one that wanted to help everyone else. What if everyone you knew were getting hurt all the time and were always fighting for no real reason what would you say to try to help them get back on their feet? If you were the one that everybody dependent on what would you tell them to try to solve their problems? Most people don’t know what to do in these sorts of situations. Therefore they look for help or stay in their comfort zone and stay quite as long as they can or solve their own problems. The government has all the power in the United States it is only right that they should spend money on programs for people that may suffer from depression or suicidal thoughts.

“Suicide is applied to all cases of death resulting directly or indirectly from a positive or negative act of the victim himself, which he knows will produce this result” (Durkheim 34). Suicide is a phenomenon that has plagued our world since the beginning of time. It currently accounts for the second leading cause of death in people ages ten to twenty-four years old (Garni Powerpoint). This means of ending your own life is something we can prevent as a society. If we can eliminate societal pressures and stereotypes we can all be treated equally. All suicides during a certain time period are grouped together, when in all reality we should be treating each situation as it’s own. Durkheim states “...with it’s own unity, individuality, and consequently its own nature- a nature, furthermore, dominantly social”.

Have you ever heard a grown man cry; a cry so loud that you can hear and feel the pain within his voice? No, well it happens daily, here in the United States. There are thousands of people that are going through so much suffering that pain killers are like putting a band aid of a bullet wound. As hours pass the wound is getting bigger and the band aids are helping less and less. Most of these people just want a release, but even professionals cannot grant that request.

Imagine you’re a parent. You have two young children who don’t understand what the word cancer means. You just got the news that you have stage four cancer and you have a short agonizing road ahead of you. Instead of getting to decide when you want to wrap up your life and die, you don’t have a choice. You’ll spend the last minutes of your life in crucial pain hooked up to IVs, and those will be the last memories your children will have of you. Is that what you want? Terminally ill patients should have a choice on when they feel comfortable dying, it shouldn’t be a law that decides something this major for other people.

A death that is caused by self-inflicted injurious behavior, with the intent to die, is known as suicide (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC], 2015). Whereas, a suicide attempt is a non-fatal, self-inflicted, and potentially injurious behavior, with the intent to die. Suicide ideation is the considering, thinking about, or the planning of suicide (CDC, 2015).

When people hear the word “suicide” they automatically think of something gloomy and something that is shameful. But assisted suicide is different, it is more like helping someone make a choice. The choice is does a person want to suffer for as long as possible or does a person want to have a choice to end their life on their own terms. Assisted suicide is a person with an incurable disease who wants to die. It is a use of lethal drugs provided by a doctor. It is more about what the person in this situation wants than what the government thinks. There are so many different aspects that go into this global issue but this essay is going to focus on government involvement, religion, and legalizing suicide. It is not about the right to die but

Every year, seriously injured patients would rather opt out of life rather than living miserably throughout the rest of their lives. Assisted suicide is the suicide of a patient suffering from an incurable disease, caused by taking lethal drugs given by a doctor. One problem people have with this is that there is barely a difference between assisted suicide and murder. Euthanasia should be legal. People should not have to suffer slowly if they could choose to stop the pain by taking their lives.

Some things I have learned about the act was that it's not alright to assist suicide from a help of a doctor because if assist suicide was legal some people would abuse it's power I would say assist suicide should be allowed for some patients because if they can't talk, walk, or do anything on their own then they should be allowed to make that final decision to assist suicide. For example, Robert Latimer killed his daughter using carbon monoxide because his daughter was always in pain from cerebral palsy. This topic is sensitive because it's about people making the decision to kill themselves. Also, this topic could be sensitive because people could get really emotionally because maybe someone in their family have committed suicide, which could

As a senior leader in the United States Army, it is our responsibility to set the tone for our organizations by providing a positive example for Soldiers to emulate. Soldiers look to senior leaders for guidance, mentorship, and inspiration in difficult times. Suicide and suicidal ideations amongst Soldiers are tragic event that we must prepare for. Ultimately Soldiers that have made up their mind to end their life is one too many, and this epidemic needs a drastic change. In 2009, the Army suffered a record number of suicides among active-duty Soldiers totaling 352 (Haynes, 2015). Since then suicides in the Army have lingered around 280 a year during 2013-2014 (Haynes, 2015). To better prepare leaders and Soldiers for suicide and other stressful situations the Army invested in a program called Master Resilience Training (MRT) part of the Comprehensive Soldier and Family Fitness (CSF2). The premise of MRT is to equip Soldiers and leaders with the skills required to deal with adversity, change how they react to stressful situations, and arm them with the tools they need to cope with complex situations by quickly bouncing back. When a Soldier has decided to take his/her life or attempt to take his life, there are many contributing factors such as personal loss, stress, or even combat related disorder. Sergeants Major

Suicide is the tenth leading cause of death and is growing at a fast rate in America. Every thirteen minutes a death by suicide occurs. Currently the suicide rate for males is five times higher compared to that of females. Out of all US suicides, male suicide takes up approximately 79%. This phenomena continues to persist even after years of this statistic being put on the public spectrum. These causes for suicide include but are not limited to; the pressure put upon men to be “the primary earner” and provide for the family, the collapse of the job market during 2008 when there was an alarming spike in male suicide and job loss, and the fact that when men do commit suicide they tend to do it with lethal methods such as a firearm.

Suicide is currently the 10th leading cause of death in the United States (Suicide and Self-Inflicted Injury, 2017). On average, 121 Americans complete suicide each day (CDC Fatal Injuries Report 2015, 2015). The American people are living longer with advances to medical care and technology, yet suicide rates continue to rise. According to the CDC, suicide rates have increased by 24% from the year 1999 to 2014 (Curtain, Warner & Hedegaard, 2016).
