In The Rules of the Sociological Method (1895), Durkheim examines a category
of human facts "which present very special characteristics: they consist of manners of
acting, thinking and feeling external to the individual, which are invested with a coercive
power by virtue of which they exercise control over him" (Rules, 52). Such
circumstances he deems social facts; these consist of "representations and actions" and
not purely "organic" or "psychical" phenomena (Rules, 52). Durkheim employs this
characterization of social facts in The Rules to demonstrate that individuals are social
beings, inextricably woven into the fabric of social processes. He begins from the
premise that one cannot understand individual behavior without understanding the social
forces acting upon that individual. He also notes that an understanding of the
fundamentally social nature of humanity will help allow the field of sociology to undergo
the necessary process of passing "from the subjective stage…to the objective stage."
(Rules, 71).
In Rules, Durkheim explicates his understanding of the relationship of social
organization and social "currents," to individual behavior, emotion, belief and morality.
Each individual is born into a socially-organized network that both teaches and requires
behavior and conforming beliefs. Laws and punishments, religion, politics, language,
economics, professions and other forms of custom and rule are all aspects of social
organization, and they all influence both an individual's behavior and his internal beliefs
and morality. Their influence is compulsive or coercive, though Durkheim writes that,
for the most part, individuals do not feel or recognize these coercive forces, and may
attribute their choices and beliefs to internal processes
Suicide is considered a social fact because it reflects broader social trends and patterns, influenced by factors such as social norms, cultural beliefs, economic conditions, and access to support services. Rates of suicide can vary across different societies and over time, suggesting that it is shaped by social forces beyond individual experiences. Additionally, suicide can have ripple effects on families, communities, and societies, further highlighting its social impact.
Emile Durkheim's study of suicide related suicide rates to social factors such as integration and regulation within society. He found that individuals with weaker social ties and lower levels of social integration were more likely to commit suicide. Durkheim's work highlighted the importance of social relationships and support systems in preventing suicide.
Γmile Durkheim was the pioneering sociologist who studied patterns of suicide in Europe. His groundbreaking work on suicide rates revealed that social factors, such as social integration and regulation, influenced an individual's likelihood of committing suicide.
Durkheim conducted his study on suicide in 1897. He examined suicide rates in different groups and identified social factors that influenced suicidal behavior.
Anomic suicide. This type is associated with a lack of social integration due to rapid societal changes that can disrupt social norms and stability, leading individuals to feel disconnected or alienated.
Durkheim selected to write about suicide because he wanted to demonstrate that social factors, rather than individual psychological issues, could influence behavior. By studying suicide rates, he aimed to show how societal norms, social integration, and social cohesion can impact an individual's likelihood of taking their own life.

None of the above because all those types of suicide have to do with social disorganization and the social bonds of individuals. Anomic is closest because it refers to an event that undermines social organization, which causes confusion in terms of moral beliefs and rules. For example: a business man killing himself after the economic downturn.
