A Preventable Devastation: Veteran Suicides When we think of someone committing suicide, we assume that the person committing the act must have been dealing with psychological issues, or was suffering from mental illness. Very rarely do we attribute societal factors to a person’s decision to end their life. However, the French scholar Émile Durkheim made this connection. Durkheim saw a correlation between social conditions and suicide (Appelrouth and Edles, 2016). Consequently, he conducted a

The devastation of Hurricane Katrina on the city of New Orleans sparked a national conversation about who, or what, to blame for the disaster. There were inherent problems in how the chain of command was structured for the response to the disaster, and issues with how the plan was implemented. Furthermore, since the hurricane disproportionately devastated low income and predominately African American neighborhoods, many questioned the equity of the implementation plans.
