"Durkheim strived to define suicide as a product of social factors. The less influence society has on the individual, the more lost or disillusioned he may feel. As man becomes more and more separated from social organization, the more his activity becomes unregulated and unrestrained, a state of anomy may sink in; a state of mind which may lead to suicide."
