Suicide's Forgotten Victims Analysis

High Standards As early as the third grade, I remember being involved in sports. Whether it was volleyball, basketball, or dance I have been given the privilege to play on many teams. The life of a young athlete is great, however, it can become very stressful. At all ages an athlete is forced to cope with school, sports, and a social life.

Growing up can essentially be defined as the process of enduring the obstacles and challenges faced throughout one’s lifetime. By overcoming them, one becomes stronger as the valor needed to withstand anything builds character. Both Donald M. Murray’s “What Football Taught Me” and Lisa Keiski’s “Suicide’s Forgotten Victims” demonstrate how to persist and overcome life challenges. Despite experiencing different forms of hardships that enable them to survive through their pain, Murray and Keiski transmit life lessons about individual growth. They emphasize survival through society, authority figures, and themselves.

Bissinger concludes his argument by depicting the harsh realities of life beyond high school football, demonstrating the idea that high school sports create a make believe world, leaving the players unprepared for life after they graduate. Football in high school is filled with excitement and glory. In high school the players are the kings who rule their towns. Upon leaving high school they are faced with a rude awakening to reality. In the words of former “Golden Boy” Joe Bizzell, “it had been victory after victory...

Sports and athletes play an important role in the lives of Americans today. In the HBO documentary “Sports in America” we see just that. Over generations the interest in sports has spread from young children to adults and elderly, experiences are shared and cherished. Within this documentary there were four areas of interest that were discussed (greatness, heroes, community and game change). This dissertation will briefly describe some of the defining moments in sports that have changed the lives of many individuals.

Journalist David Epstein takes down the self congratulatory attitude behind goal shattering success in high level sport. He explores all the ways that athletes have improved over the past decades in his ted talk by using comparison, logos and pathos, and significant figures. Technology in sport has come along way from new track surfaces to lighter materials in rowing shells. This progress aids athletes in living up to the olympic motto: “faster, higher, stronger” (Epstein, 2014, 0:12). To produce this topic, Epstein uses pathos to capture the minds of the audience with an intriguing example he uses that incorporates sound at 00:51 in his Ted Talk.

Bateman and Fonagy (2010) state, due to “the high prevalence suicide rate in patients with BPD make an unassailable argument that effective treatment needs to be developed and that treatment has to be widely available” (pp.12). However, due to the complexity of the negative symptoms (i.e. chronic feelings of emptiness, recurrent suicidal behaviors or threats, self-mutilation, dissociative symptoms, fear of abandonment and identity disturbance) for those suffering from BPD, there is no proven therapy to address all of these symptoms effectively. Therefore, by blending Schema Therapy (ST), Mentalization-Focused Therapy (MFT), and psychotropic medication Oxytocin, the clinician can replace maladaptive schemas, allowing for mentalizing to be achieved

On February 21st, 2055 a new law came into place in the state of California, anyone who is critically ill and wishes to live no longer, may receive assisted suicide. The state glowed for those that wanted to end their life as they were in agony, family members and loved ones will see the terminally ill bliss in peace no longer in pain. It was a change that had both sides arguing, why take your life away, that’s being selfish while others argued it takes the misery away, why stay alive when you are deteriorating slowly and painfully. Sirens racing down to the central hospital in Los Angeles.

Losing a loved one is very difficult to handle throughout your life. Have you ever felt like giving up on life as well because your other behalf or your loved one passed away due to suicide and not being able to see them again until the afterlife? Suicide is the act of ending your own death at your own hand to escape the pain or suffering from the world. It should be meant to enjoy life like everyone else and not taking your own life just by the opinion of others or by the disaster of the world or by any body failure you might be experiencing. Accordingly, to the organization of the American Foundation of Suicide Prevention, suicide becomes the 10th leading cause of death in the U.S.

She uses her experience and educates others in order to let others overcome their hurdles and achieve success. Heather believes that is her true win, to see people obtain accomplishment. A particular motto this accomplished athlete lives by and tells other is to “Believe in the possibilities.” An additional saying Heather conveys is that “we are all capable of WAY more than we give ourselves credit for.” Heather wants us to “Believe in the possibilities” because when we believe in these very possibilities, we can achieve so much more than we think or presume.

Specific Aims Adolescents is an important context for suicide research, as it is the typical period of onset for suicidal thoughts and behaviors (Gould, Greenburg, Velting, & Shaffer, 2003). Despite the years of research on suicide risk factors, suicide continues to be the second leading cause of death among adolescents globally, with many more who attempt suicide (World Health Organization, 2015). The slow progress of knowledge in this area may be related to the fragmented approach research has taken in attempting to answer the question of what puts an individual at risk for a suicide attempt (Stewart, et al., 2017). Few studies regarding suicide risks are theoretically driven and only paint a partial picture of the suicidal landscape; thus, at risk individuals may be unidentified

Every year, thousands of people succeed in taking their lives and even more have attempted suicide at some point in their lives. Although we have reached the stage that hearing about suicide is now common, it is was viewed as trivial and petty back then. It seems like a reverse spectrum
