At each moment of its history, therefore, each society has a definite aptitude for suicide". [Hal. XI] CONAN: Excuse me. I know we're talking about suicide, we're not supposed to laugh. But every profession has its argot, and so I guess you got to come up with one for yours as well. And the people you're working with, as you're now working with - you're now working with kids who are coming into the hospital and trying out this technique? PESTIAN: In this case, it's the exact same way that we did in the first time - in the first study - we go in and talk to the kids, and adults; so there'll be roughly 500 people that enrolled in this study. Dalam Suicide, kita dibawa pada gaya pemahaman ala strukturalisme yang luas dan evokatif. Ia berkali-kali menyebutkan tentang fakta sosial (social facts) sebagai kata kunci, atau sebuah substansi ekternal yang secara terinternalisasi dalam tubuh-tubuh individu dalam masyarakat, yang pada akhirnya membentuk pola dan kehidupan masyarakat itu sendiri. Itulah mengapa pada Hal. 278 dengan tegas ia menyatakan "it is not true that society is made up only of individuals; it also includes material things, which play an essential role in the common life". "Material" tersebutlah yang harus ditekankan sebagai fokus, karena ia juga dapat bermakna simbol hingga status yang dikonstruksikan bersama-sama.

Reading the confessions of a teenager contemplating suicide is uncomfortable, but we must do so to understand why self-harm has become epidemic, especially in the United States. What drives teenagers to self-harm? What makes death so attractive, so liberating, and so inevitable for so many? In Teenage Suicide Notes, sociologist Terry Williams pores over the writings of a diverse group of troubled youths to better grasp the motivations behind teenage suicide and to humanize those at risk of taking their own lives. Suicide: A Study in Sociology (1897) is arguably Émile Durkheim’s most famous book. After reading it, I can add to this: it’s also his most clearest book. That is, clear in the sense that it exposes Durkheim’s perspective on the then newly founded science sociology. Why? Because Durkheim distinguished himself from contemporary social scientists with his principle of emergence (my own terms). According to Durkheim, society has laws of its own, inexplicable in terms of the psychology of individuals. Around the time, most social scientists saw sociology as mass psychology – understanding the human mind would lead to us understanding how societies function. But over the course of the next forty-five days, Jeff begins to understand why he ended up here—and realizes he has more in common with the other kids than he thought.PESTIAN: And the reason why is because I have hundreds of biologists around me, and I could never speak to them unless I came up with some of the terms that were...

His note read: “..I am haunted by the vivid memories of killings and corpses and anger and pain … of starving or wounded children, of trigger-happy madmen, often police, of killer executioners …” Jeff’s wit and self-discovery are refreshing, poignant, and, at times, laugh-out-loud funny.” — School Library Journal Critical PraiseHe identified 4 great “races” of Europe; Germanic, Celto-Romans, Slavs and Ural-Altaic, and the rate of suicide corresponds decreasingly with the list. And he shown that differences exists in the same race that lived in different countries. And so Slavs, who has the lowest suicide rate, remained low in Dalmatia and Croatia, but very high in the German states, such as in Bohemia and Moravia. Durkheim suggests suicide is a constituent of society that cannot be eradicated, but when reduced, leads to a rise in homicide. Durkheim was also deeply preoccupied with the acceptance of sociology as a legitimate science. He refined the positivism originally set forth by Auguste Comte, promoting what could be considered as a form of epistemological realism, as well as the use of the hypothetico-deductive model in social science. For him, sociology was the science of institutions,[citation needed] its aim being to discover structural social facts. Durkheim was a major proponent of structural functionalism, a foundational perspective in both sociology and anthropology. In his view, social science should be purely holistic; that is, sociology should study phenomena attributed to society at large, rather than being limited to the specific actions of individuals.
