I have an essay to write about if sometimes it was better to die (by getting someone to kill you or by committing suicide) than to live during the great depression, and I have to find reasons why. Any ideas?
The stock market had collapsed during the Great depression. All the businesses were affected. Suddenly people found themselves in deep debt. They lost sight of all hope. Suicides were common.
I think such a situation that is so full of hopelessness can be a reason to resort to the dreary action called suicide.
