Durkheim's Theory on Suicide


Today in chapel, we had a speaker speak to us about suicides on the Baylor campus. Two people have committed suicide every year since 2008, I believe. The speaker spoke of reasons why people commit suicide. On his Power Point presentation, he mentioned three of Durkheim's four types of suicide: hopelessness (fatalistic suicide), depression (egoistic suicide), bad grades (anomic suicide).
