Counter Argument Analysis - Yousef

Committing suicide may not be justified, however sometimes one may be understood in why they decided to commit such act. The reasons why women sometimes commit suicide are sad and sometimes we have to just understand them. One of the reasons why women are known to commit suicide is from social pressure. For example, sometimes women are domestically abused, and they feel that they have no other choice but to escape by committing suicide. More specifically, when women are trapped in a home in which they are dependent of their husbands, don’t have their own income, don’t have a means by which to escape, and the pain of being abused is unbearable, this can lead them to drastic measures. Sadly, many women kill themselves when they don’t know any other way to leave their husbands. The husbands beat them, and bring their moral down to a low level that they start to believe. Once again, there are always alternatives to escaping by suicide; however, it may be understandable why some women would feel that they are trapped, scared and hopeless. Nonetheless, even in an attempt to justify this, the fact that alternatives exist overrules this act.

In the US there are some of the best schools and educations one can get throughout the world and yet the health administration is very poor. When people seek help and still end up committing suicide, than this must mean that the support group is somehow failing. Suicide is sometimes anticipated; however a lot of the people who attempt to commit suicide keep it to them and do not tell anyone about their decision or tendencies. There should be more awareness for this matter, and if they should are so advanced than why do more doctors not detect these tendencies and stop them is a question that will remain unknown. Although it is difficult to try and stop suicide throughout the country, there are other ways in which it may be alleviated. Suicide is due to self-inflicting tendencies the buildup is inside the person, and therefore a change in mind and heart may be the cure for it.

Moreover, sometimes women commit suicide due to mental disorders, in which they cannot control themselves. These are also known as chemical imbalances to the brain, in which a woman loses her ability to control their thoughts, depression, and sadness. Some women lose their will through postpartum depression, a depression that comes after giving birth to a child resulting in hatred, anger, and disgust of themselves and their child. These disorders are change a woman’s lives completely in a way that one may not even recognize them, or they won’t even recognize themselves. When they start feeling so lonely, and mad and angry, where not even the closes people to them can help them, or calm them down, they lose themselves. It is sad to see to witness such actions, or to know they even exist but it is true. This is one feeling that many people would not understand unless they felt it. However, depression is common amongst many groups, and although it is a common reason for those who commit suicide there are many non-suicidal people who are in depression and hey find alternative ways to deal with it. The help is out there is one seeks it, therefore committing this selfish act has no advantages or understanding.

When one commits suicide they cause a financial burden for their family members, or those who are responsible for the financial part of the cost that come with suicide. Sadly, people are not able to calculate the magnitude of what type of trouble they are bringing upon those who love them because suicide causes one to be emotionally confused and selfish. When one dies, it is known that there are many costs such as funeral services, and other financial depts left behind by the person. Therefore, the family members or others who carry the financial weight of the death are left with the loss of the member and burden of having to pay all of the services. This shows the selfishness of the act which states that suicide is not free, not materially free nor emotional free, it only sets the person free to bring a sentimental prison to other, especially the stress that comes with having to worry about the monetary problems, loans that one might need to take out, or borrowing money just to be able to lay the bodies of the person who selfishly chose to leave without taking their family members and others in consideration.

Finally one might believe that the justification for one who commits suicide is valid, and that there is nothing one may do about it, however that is not true. No suicide should be considered a valid act, it is always preventable, and there are many treatments one can take. Suicidal people do seek help at times, and in these cases doctors and counselors should really concentrate on what will benefit that person, and not on what they can afford. Helping someone not take their life is priceless because it is ultimately preventing themselves from the their mind which is the most influential entity than any other form of pressure. The person has the ability to come down to wanting to commit suicide and they also have the power to turn it all around. There should not be any excuses for this act, especially knowing that there have been people at the verge of suicide who simply did not go through with it.
