Is it ever right to take someone’s life?

Is it right to take someone’s life? There are many opinions about it. Some people for about it and some people against about it.

The most dangerous and cruel punishment is death penalty. Some people in favor about it. They reckon the death penalty may help make it less crime. Moreover, they think all people should be fair. If someone kills someone, the person who killed also have to die. That is their mind. There are some people that nothing will help to make them better. Some crimes are just so heinous that the death penalty is the only appropriate punishment available. Many christians support the death penalty because of the Bible. The Bible requires the death penalty for a wide variety of crimes, including practicing evil sorcery, adultery, homosexual behavior, doing work on saturday and murder. It even calls for some criminals to be tortured to death by being burned alive. Most Christians, with the exception of those in the Reconstructionist movement, feel that many of these grounds for the death penalty no longer apply to Christian societies. However, Bible passages are still used to promote the retention of capital punishment for murderers. A few conservative Christians support the policy of six predominately Muslim states and advocate that sexually active homosexuals also be executed.

However some people strongly disagree about it because they think human right is important. Also they do not think the death penalty does not work to make it less crime. In fact, the murder rate in the US is 6times that of Britain and 5 times that of Australia, Neither country has the death penalty. Texas has twice the murder rate of Wisconsin, a state that doesn’t have the death penalty. Texas and Oklahoma have historically executed the most number of death penalty inmates, yet in 2003 their state murder rates increased, and both have murder rates higher than the national average.
Actually, human’s life is the most important thing in the world, we can not buy it with money and can not make it with biotechnology. That is why people think death penalty is such a waste a living thing. For a cost, the death penalty is much more expensive than life without parole.





I do not think the death penalty is not a good rule either if it is disappeared, some people are worrying about other convict. Some psychopath people like to kill people. For person someone like them, the government makes them live in jail forever so they can not do second convict. Some people think it is may very cruel but at least it is better than death penalty.

There was an other reason to take person’s life for a long time a go. That is for experiment. When Korea was japan’s colony, some japanese people took many people’s life for experiment. They used people same as experiment rat. Although, they used people like animal, they could not get successful result therefore it was just waste people’s life. It was really cruel and for korean people do not want to remember it again. They know killing people is wrong. That is why some korean people still hate japanese people.

Law and Criminality reflection

I have learned about the death penalty. I thought all of countries have death penalty but actually they do not. Also I thought death penalty is for people who deal drugs and commit murder but some countries give the death penalty for only murder.

 

I used my creative skills to make the script for my character (kindergarten teacher) in the death penalty trial.

Before the trial my assigned people to many roles, we prepared a script for each of the characters, and we practiced the scripts before. This was good because, I felt prepared for the trial.

I think the team should have a better teamwork about working together and communication.

For the next presentation, I will give some ideas for team and try to come on d-day.
