“A conclusion works to remind your reader of the main points of your paper and summarizes what you want your reader to ‘take away’ from your discussion. Consider these tips when writing your conclusion: Begin with your rephrased thesis statement to remind your reader of the point of your paper. Summarize the points you made in your paper and show how they support your argument; tie all the pieces of your paper together.  Tell your reader what the significance of your argument might be. Why is the discussion important? Do you want your reader to think differently, question something, or perform some action? Make a recommendation of what your reader should ‘do’ with the information you just gave them, or share the importance of the topic” (Ashford University, 2019).

Why suicides happen, particularly in prosperous and healthy societies, has puzzled social scientists for decades. When sociologists talk about suicide, they are likely to include Durkheim’s work in their discussion. In Section One of the Social Theory Re-wired text, you should read Emile Durkheim’s “Suicide,” what the Sociology - Émile Durkheim (Links to an external site.) video, and also read the following summary (Links to an external site.) to help you grasp the causal factors and three concepts of suicide Durkheim presents in his greater work. Then, listen to the Freakonomics podcast (Links to an external site.). (If you are not familiar with the Freakonomics podcast, it is created by a journalist and an economist, who both use economics to debunk commonly held beliefs about why the world is the way it is.) If you have any issues listening to the podcast, there is a link to the transcript of the recording in the third paragraph below the podcast link.

For your Final Paper

- Select one fact about suicide from the podcast that you find particularly interesting or surprising and explain it in your paper.
- Analyze the fact you have chosen about suicide using Durkheim’s work as offered to you above and one scholarly resource. Through your analysis, you should respond to the following:- Based on Durkheim’s work, can the level of integration or regulation in society be an explanation for the “social fact about suicide” you have picked? Present one (1) scholarly resource which provides evidence or support of this.
- Which of the three concepts of suicide (as presented by Durkheim) is your chosen fact most aligned to? Present the concept and explain why. If you believe it isn’t aligned explain why not.
- The video presents nine ways that Durkheim’s work and recent research has linked societal influence to suicide. Does your chosen fact relate to any of these?
- Finally, explain how classical social theory like Durkheim’s work is useful and valuable to modern researchers, theorists and social policy makers.

Your paper must be five to six double-spaced pages in length (not including the title and reference page) and formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Writing Center. You should include the text, the text reading of Emile Durkheim’s “Suicide,” and at least two scholarly sources from the University of Arizona Global Campus Library in your submission.

The Final Paper

- Must be five to six double-spaced pages in length (excluding title and reference pages), and formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Writing Center (Links to an external site.).
- Must include a title page with the following:- Title of paper
- Student’s name
- Course name and number
- Instructor’s name
- Date submitted
- Must begin with an introductory paragraph that has a succinct thesis statement.
- Must address the topic of the paper with critical thought.
- Must end with a conclusion that reaffirms your thesis.
- Must include the text, the text reading of Emile Durkheim’s “Suicide,” and at least two (2) scholarly sources from the University of Arizona Global Campus Library in your submission.

Required Readings from the Textbook - Managerial Accounting: The Cornerstone of Business Decision Making:

Chapter 12: Capital Investment Decisions

Length of Initial Postings: Students will read the assigned textbook chapters from the Managerial Accounting textbook each week. Then they will then post three (3) substantive postings that they found interesting in each assigned textbook chapter. For example, if there are two (2) chapters assigned for Week 2, students will read each chapter and provide three (3) substantive postings for each individual chapter (total of 6 substantive initial postings for Week 2).

Initial Postings Must be Substantive: In order for each individual initial posting to be substantive, the students will provide, in their own words, a paragraph that is a minimum of four (4) sentences long for each topic (3 topics/paragraphs per textbook chapter). The posting paragraph must inform or even teach the reader about the concept they found interesting in their own words.
