I've learned in Sociology, that there is a Social Perspective that related you to people in ways you are unaware of. According to this theory, people are who they are because of their surrounding network such as family, friends, community, and so on. Emile Durkheim (European Sociologist) did a study on people who had attempted suicide and discovered that people are three times more likely to commit suicide if they don't have a extended network of people in their lives, such as close family, friends, or an involvement in community. Human Interaction is bigger then the sum of it's whole. What do you all think? Do you find any truth in this, or do you disagree? Or do you fell this effects you personally?
