Suicide and Life-Threatening Behaviors

– To help select a topic, first choose a category of deviance from chapters 3-14 of your book, then pick specific act or case of deviance. Or conversely, think about a specific deviant act, and then think about what category it fits within. It should of course be social deviance, not just something that you personally find to be deviant.

– Topic Chosen is : Suicide And Life- Threatening Behaviors

-INSTRUCTION: First, describe the case in detail and tell the reader why exactly this qualifies as social deviance. In other words, how does this act violate a social norm? Next, apply any theory or concept from the book in order to explain why you think people commit this act or engage in this particular behavior. The main point here is to help the reader understand, from a sociological perspective, what would motivate an individual (or group) to knowingly commit this kind of deviance.

-For this assignment, as it is intended to be a blog post, part of the task is to keep it short, clear, and to the point.
