There must not many people alive who at one point or the other havent contemplated suicide. For much of us, it’s just a passing thought. But with a tiny minority it is often a serious option. Sociologists have extensively studied the trend of suicide around earth. One of their remarkable findings is that suicides take place in a cluster. This means that if few people have historically committed suicide in a society, then we should be expecting low suicide rates as area in the potential future as well. But there must be just one high-profile suicide to tip the scale in the other supervision. Take the case of the suicide on January 14th of the Nepali rap sensation Yama Buddha, who had hung himself inside his London flat. On January 20th, a young couple in Jhapa, who apparently wanted to marry but they can not due to their caste differences, was found hanging from a single noose tied to a tree in the district’s Kankai municipality. On January 23rd, a 33-year-old man similarly hung himself to death in BPKIHS, Dharan. Then, on January 24th, a middle-aged real estate agent in Biratnagar ended his life the same way.
The famous rapper’s chosen means to separate his life seemed in order to become catching referring to. On February 2nd, one boy from Jems School at Dhapakhel an additional girl from St. Maries School at Jawalakhel also hung themselves to loss. It’s almost like when a famous personality commits suicides other members in the society obtain the permission to act on their suicidal dreams. Malcolm Gladwell, within his bestselling book, The Tipping Point, discusses the case of the small Pacific island group of Micronesia, whose teenagers “were literally being infected using the suicide bug, and one after another they were killing themselves in precisely the same way under about the same circumstance” that they had witnessed other people take own lives. Gladwell argues that just like some diseases are contagious, dangerous ideas can be as contagious. This is to suggest that all those recent suicides in Nepal .
