What??
One of the first books of sociology was about suicide: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suicide_(book) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suicide_(book) .
A person is doing it of course, but all the circumstances and environment around count! Otherwise, exaggerating a little bit this kind of reasoning, one could say: "poverty is sometimes the result of outside details, but one can overcome them, so it's more a personal disorder."
- pfedor 17y ago"poverty is sometimes the result of outside details, but one can overcome them, so it's more a personal disorder." Isn't it true in the most literal sense? I read somewhere that the #1 reason for the homelessness in the US phenomenon is the lack of socialized healthcare, specifically mental healthcare. There are much fewer homeless people in Europe, because they get treated.
- pyre 17y agoHaven't you just proved the opposite point though? The poverty is caused by a lack of mental healthcare, which is _not_ a personal disorder. Well, _both_ share the blame because people have a problem that cannot be resolved without outside influence.
