expression of grief and anxiety and
individual turmoil, is also an expression of despair and a cry for assistance. The sociology of death and
Suicide is largely concerned with the examination and exploration of the phenomena of suicide within a specific social
context. This
paper explains that the assumption that suicide is linked to the disparity between the individual and
