The Industrial Revolution in 18th century significantly impacted on economic, political, and cultural development. The prevailing industrialism promoted capitalism and technological development catalyzed globalization. However, new technology brings froth numerous challenges that accompany the convenience it creates. Modern citizens now encounter challenges from trust and personal relationships. Unprecedented factors such as bachelorism, decreasing birth rate, suicide, hardship in friendship and marriage, and other problem regarding interactions between individual are now appearing in a new form of predicament. As we know, the electronic equipment and the internet, helpful to promote efficiency, have become necessity in our lives. Nevertheless the reliance on internet and its efficiency is breaking down physical and face to face interaction. By the internet, we might only care about those who are far away instead of these near us. It seems like people have more interaction with each other than before, yet it not only reflects our innermost loneliness but also creates an intimacy that is possibly more problematic. This thesis analyzed aims to apply the character of high modernity analysis by Anthony Giddens(1938- ), combining it with Nihilism, Existentialism and Postmodernism to examine the transformation of intimacy in modern society. By analyzing the suicide data between the general public and the law enforcement, the article explored the connection between the intimacy and suicide, and the problem of intimacy in modern society which the police have to face. This research thus intends to reflect on the suicide prevention strategy and provides possible solutions according to traits and features of the modern society.
