abstract="Durkheim categorized suicide into four types as &quot;egoistic&quot;, &quot;anomic&quot;, &quot;fatalistic&quot;, and &quot;altruistic&quot;. He further hypothesized that the last two types i.e. &quot;fatalistic&quot; and &quot;altruistic&quot; are assigned to the then traditional society. However, in the present article and through literature review I will discuss that in modern society and especially within some low and middle income countries, self-immolation on its first and second most prevalent patterns i.e. to protest at micro and macro levels, respectively could be considered as a social self-sacrifice phenomenon. Therefore, it may well categorize as the altruistic type of suicide based on Durkheim's theory.   Available at: https://digitalcommons.bau.edu.lb/hwbjournal/vol1/iss1/6<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
