  31. INDIVIDUALITY IN THE SOCIAL CONTEXT • Sociological insights often challenge common sense by revealing how human behavior is not as individualistic as we may think. • Perhaps the most compelling demonstration of how social forces affect human behavior is the study of suicide. • Why? • Because nothing could be more personal than taking one’s one life.

  32. DURKHEIM • A SOCIOLOGICAL PIONEER • EXAMINED THE RECORDS OF SUICIDE IN HIS NATIVE FRANCE. • THE STATISTICS CLEARLY SHOWED THAT SOME CATEGORIES OF PEOPLE WERE MORE LIKELY THAN OTHERS TO COMMIT SUICIDE. • SPECIFICALLY, MORE MEN, PROTESTANTS,WEALTHY PEOPLE, AND THE UNMARRIED EACH HAD SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHTER SUICIDE RATES THAN WOMEN, CATHOLICS & JEWS, THE POOR, AND MARRIED PEOPLE.

  33. DURHEIM’S CONCLUSION: • REASONED THAT SUICIDE VARIED ACCORDING TO PEOPLE’S SOCIAL INTEGRATION. • LOW SUICIDE RATES, IN OTHER WORDS, CHARACTERIZED CATEGORIES OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE STRONG TIES TO OTHERS. • A CENTRY LATER, STATISTICAL EVIDENCE STILL SUPPORTS HIS ANALYSIS.
