The death penalty in many cultures has always been seen as a system of justice “an eye for an eye” or "a soul for a soul". Capital punishment is something is a law I strongly support. I support this due to cultural and religious reasons. The death penalty in the United States should be enforced justly on those who do commit murder and the state must have solid substantial evidence linking he/she to the murder of a person. Violence is part of human nature therefore murder will happen and government should enforce a laws that express the seriousness of the crime. The death penalty is a perfect way to show the importance of human life. Living in prison for life is really not bad compared to being dead especially in the United States anywhere else I can understand. Prisoners here can get education, job not to forget the essentials 3 meals a day, shelter and time to relax and live. That sounds like vacation to many starving people in the world today some would kill and commit murder just for all of the things offered to inmates in the US. I agree with the death of those who wrongly kill others.
When we look at the issue of capital punishment from an intellectual angel studies show that homicides decrease 37.5 % immediately after a publicized execution, the more publicity on the case the more homicides decrease. However this effect is short-term according to (David P. Philips) “The Deterrent Effects of Capital Punishment: New Evidence and Old Controversy”; this effect is drops the homicide rate for short period of time. And In this nation there a murder is committed every 32 minutes according to FBI statistics. So technically we need to enforce the death penalty even more then ever to save more lives. One less killer on the streets one less victim in the world. It's simple and has been practiced for hundreds of years .
Improving the death Penalty is what we need!
A Miscarriage of justice or what is known as wrongful execution. Is crime carried out by Uncle Sam himself? Yes our government has executed the wrong people for murder every government has. I’m completely against this yet Our legal systems can be wrong and unjust people who do commit murder can getaway (OJ) and people who do not commit murder can be executed wrongfully. A relevant case of miscarried justice in the states was Troy Davis. A man who executed by the state of Georgia he was seen innocent according to many. No murder weapon was ever found and more than 7 of the witness who said he was guilty admitted to lying after he was executed. Many people including the Pope and former president Jimmy Carter asked for this case to be reviewed. He was executed and his case was not reviewed. State government’s try their best to bring justice with the death penalty and when it comes to the innocent lives of people being executed "We was almost right" doesn’t cut it. The government is not insisting on murdering innocent people but there are flaws in our legal system and as a nation we can improve on this issue. State governments should review all aspects of each execution case prior to the execution. Everyone should have a chance to prove their innocence before death in the court of law.
No man or women that has taken an innocent soul should not have the right to breath the air that there victims couldn't. They should not have the right to live the days there victims couldn't. Living in this world is a privilege by its self even if your in a cage. No murder should have the right to live to tell his Sin.

Ahmed,
ReplyDeleteAnother well-written article with great information.
You do need to follow the format a little more closely.
In this article, you jump to the analysis right way. Save it for your third paragraph.
Your first paragraph should be more objective. It should open the issue and describe it with facts.
The second paragraph should be dedicated to your opponents' view.
The third paragraph contains your opinion.
And don't forget to list your 3 facts at the bottom of each article.
