Sociologist Émile Durkheim's 1897 work On Suicide is a powerful evidence-based study of why people take their own lives. In the late 19th century it was generally accepted that each suicide was an individual phenomenon, caused by such personal factors as grief, loss, and financial problems. But Durkheim felt there were patterns in suicide rates, and believed that a more likely cause of suicide lay in the individual's relationship to society. Instead of taking a psychological approach and looking at individual cases to find a cause for suicide, Durkheim analyzed suicide rates to see if there were more general social factors involved. Over a period of seven years, he and his small team gathered data on more than 26,000 suicide events and identified four particular conditions that contribute to higher levels of suicide. The coherent theoretical framework that he established to study these data, presented in On Suicide, is still used today to find meaning in statistical patterns.

language was clear and concise. speaker was excellent and very clear in the reading of the text

good analysis

Crisp and clear analytics but too cold and sounding robotic. Still a valuable and important presentation given the cultural fear and misunderstanding of. “Suicide.”

Too many segments

to me in both my medical practice and my personal understanding.

That this analysis did not attend to ALL possibilities is a vain attempt to discredit the true value of his insights. MANY years ago I stopped being judgemental in the Christian sense.

These concepts have been useful

The analysis was repetitive, thin, shallow and superficial. It seems like 5 mins of content has been stretched out and repeated and recycled just to fill up an hour. I’m quite disappointed with Macat.

Disappointing

This was not analytical in the slightest. It felt like material to be used if you were tasked with explaining Durkheim to 10 year olds. Structurally, it was highly segmented, and each segment gave a recap of the previous one, so each new segment ended up having maybe 3 minutes of original content. Narration was excellent, though.
