Suicide Rise and The Contributing Factors
Suicide Rise and the Contributing Factors
Introduction
Suicide cases which implies one ending his or her own life has
been on the rise, bringing out to display weather it is
advantageous to end one's life or whether it is a disadvantage to
end one's own life. Yes, ending one's life can be advantageous
to relieve you from the stresses of this world, especially among
the old population suffering from a constant disease like
pneumonia (Curtin, Warner & Hedegaard, 2016). Besides, there
is also the con side to ending one's life, because it lives the
family, relatives and friends in suffering especially if they were
close allies to the deceased. Ending one's life imply that
someone is tired of the suffering and wants to temporarily move
away from this suffering to a whole new being away from the
problems that are giving mental torture or causing them not to
get sleep(Bachmann, 2018). For example, a case of an older
person of about 70 years, who is not immune to many diseases
hence constantly suffers from diseases such as pneumonia and
other communicable forcing them to be in and out of the
hospital, may get tired and end their life to flee the constant
pains. However, ending life may bring about children, family
and friends thrown into sufferings and pains, especially for a
breadwinner. When a family head decides to end or terminates
his life, the family that remains reap the consequences, they
lack a provider and someone to take care of them. Moreover,
suicide cases are hitting new high due to increased drug abuse
and alcohol and the rise of mental disorder cases. The increase
in substance abuse is slowly increasing suicidal cases resulting
in the reduction of population and reducing the strain on the
resources. However, it is depriving the country of useful people
who would drive the economy to an unprecedented high
economy level. Therefore the suicidal rise should be checked to
determine whether it is important or should be minimized and
stop people from losing their lives anyhow. The passage below
seeks to analyze the issue of the suicidal rise and the factors
that contribute to its rise.
Literature review
Suicide History
Suicidal did no start today or yesterday but can date back to
decades ago when some of the earliest occupants of the earth
committed suicide. Some early people to commit suicide include
a Greek historian named Empedocles who believed death was
transformation. He threw himself to death inside a silicon
volcano. Other early suicidal deaths were committed by Ajax
the Great who committed the act in the battlefield of the Trojan
War, and also another person was Lucretia. While some like
Aristotle condemned suicide, others like the Roman Empire
never took it as any serious offence. Aristotle argued that
suicide deprived the community of its important members,
contributing to the community's general well-being. While the
Romans took it as a serious offence whenever the accused was
accused of a capital crime or when the person is a soldier or a
slave. For them this people's deaths would not let them seize the
property from them before death, hence the only area that
paused strictness for suicide.
Fast forward to the middle age era; the church was very strict to
people who tried or committed the act of suicide and were seen
as a bad omen. The church would send away those who
contemplated or attempted a failed suicide while also ensured
that those who died from suicide would be buried at a
consecrated place away from others. Slowly perceptions of
suicide started to change during renaissance people arguing that
ending one's life will flee someone from torture inflicted on
them when alive. Many like David Hume argued that suicide
was no crime as it affected nobody. Alternatively, by the 19th
century, many people started viewing suicide as caused by
insanity and not sin as early contemplated, although it remained
illegal. Suicide was then distinguished from homicide and was
made legal around mid of the 20th century.
Terminologies
CDC defines and outlines the various terminologies used for
suicide in the US department. The various terminologies are
suicidal ideation which refers to thinking and planning for
suicide. The suicidal plan also refers to the thought of
contemplating bodily harm by indicating the means and timing
(Goodfellow, Kolves & De Leo, 2019). Besides, there is a
suicide attempt which is the act of causing bodily injuries to
oneself to die from the act. In case one does not die from such
an act, it is referred to as an attempted suicide. Another term is
the suicide crisis, often referred to as a situation in which one is
serious about committing bodily harm to themselves and often
calls for serious intervention from the medical department.
Some other terminology included in the CDC is suicidal
behaviour, which refers to some related suicide, such as
attempted suicide. One behaves in a unique way different from
what people are used to. Also, risk factors refer to the
psychological or environmental factors that may cause people to
develop a given disorder that may lead to suicide. Besides, we
have resilience which is an inbuilt capacity for a human being
that enables them to develop mental disorders protection.
Moreover, we have postvention, which is the act of caring for
those affected by suicidal attempt or even suicidal death and
responding in situations of suicidal. Other terms include means
which refer to the act or how a person intends to commit the
suicidal act. At the same time, the method refers to the
techniques used in committing the deadly act. Lastly, the
protective factors refer to the factors and situations that ensure
the likeliness of suicide is very minimal and hence promote a
life free from suicidal thoughts and attempts.
Pros and Cons of suicide
It is always said anything that has an advantage also got a
disadvantage. Therefore as much as committing suicide may be
negative as it ends someone's life, it has the positive side. Some
of the pros of suicide may include no more pain (Racine, 2018).
There are many diseases that can make someone be in and out of
the hospital, causing unnecessar y pains. In such situations, one
may decide to end life to go away from the pains, and it is a
plus for them. Other situations include those working as slaves
who may be subjected to psychological torture and hence ending
their life may be the solution to the constant torture and
suffering. Besides, suicide also leads to a decrease in
population and reduces the pressure on the available resources.
However, the disadvantage of committing suicide will be
sufferings inflicted on the family of the deceased. Situations,
where the bereaved is the head of the family, may results in
sufferings and depression by the people left behind. Lacking
someone to provide for their needs and take care of them as
used to be, may lead to children dropping out of school. Some
getting into drug trafficking and other forms of chaotic means
of getting money. Besides suicide, it deprives the nation of
important people in the society whom it would have been the
main change required in society.
Conclusion
The literature review has opened eyes on the analysis of the
suicidal rise and factors that led to the rise, from tracking the
history of the rise, terminologies used and the pros and cons of
committing suicide.
