Introduction to Sociology / Q&A (10/31) / Mingyeong Kim


Q. Why do you think suicide rate is rising?
A : The reasons for suicide will vary from person to person. The main reason is that life has become difficult due to personal circumstances. There are personal reasons for this, but I think there are social reasons too. Korean society has a high suicide rate. I also feel that there are many times when it feels hard to live as a modern man living in Korea. It is harder to get what we want to get than before, and there is less opportunity for young people like us. As such, social reasons as well as personal reasons are likely to affect the cause of suicide.
