Suicide is a serious topic that has a lot of attention, or should I say enough attention. Such topic should be just as important as HIV/AIDS and even genocides. Group ‘The Stampede’ has done an excellent job by bringing to our attention the big issue of suicide. They began by defining the suicide, and then they began to discuss the causes. I believe that the information that they gave was accurate because I had recently been reading about the topic in my sociology book, as our professor discusses it as being a result to stress. The group overall performance I would say, has to be an 8 on the scale of 1-10. They were consistent, their ideas and thoughts were together. Everything flowed and I understood the concept of their presentation. One of the things that’s I thought about during their presentation was, how many people knew of the statistics and deaths that were caused by suicides. For me the information was not first time hearing, I have worked on projects for suicide awareness in the past and even help conduct assemblies so that my peers could be aware. But how many people really knew about suicides and how many people really cared. Some of the reasons that the group gave was, alcohol and drug abuse, depression, stress, and even relationship problems. Such reasons like these make me question our society. I have reason to believe that such factors are caused by unequal opportunities. The fact that our social structure makes it difficult for people to move through a class makes things harder in life, and results to suicide and even homicide. I really enjoyed this group and I give them two thumbs up for their presentation.
