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.

Perception

Sensory perception : See , Hearing , touching

Interpretation : Brain takes image from see, hearing and touching.

To an environmentalist, a tree is something that have to save.

To a biologist, a tree is need for their scientific experiment.

To a logger, a tree is need for earn money.

My opinion about death penalty

I am for about death penalty. Because there is disease its call psychopath. Psychopath person likes to kill ordinary people and they do not know they are doing wrong thing.
Many people will die by him. I think government have to kill him, if we put him in jail,
he may escape from prison and will kill more people. Then more people will die.

Malaysia Crime

I think the most serious crime in malaysia is car accident. There are really many motorcycle rider in Malaysia.So, there are more car accident than other countries.

Accident claim news

Malaysian motorcycle accident problem addressed

The authorities in Malaysia are so concerned about the possibility of motorcycle accidents during the festive month of February that they're offering hard cash in exchange for photos of road users infringing traffic laws.

The month of February sees a huge increase in the number of people involved in motorbike accidentsand car crashes as hundreds of thousands of Malaysia's ethnic Chinese community pour out of the towns and cities to celebrate the Lunar New Year with relatives in the countryside.

Such was the extent of the carnage on the road during February 2006 that the Malaysian Transport Minister, Chan Kong Choy, has asked snap-happy members of the public to send in photos of dangerous drivers in action.

He has announced that for each day of the month, 150 ringgit (£22) will be awarded for the clearest photo, followed by 100 ringgit for second place and 50 ringgit for third. Budding sleuths can bid for the prize by sending their photos to the transport department's website.

Mr Chan told local journalists, "This move is hoped to reduce the rate of road deaths that always rise with each festive season."

More than 3,600 people died from serious personal injuries sustained in motorcycle accidents in Malaysia last year and many of the deaths are known to have taken place during February's festivities.

A vast majority of the road accidents are blamed on speeding and tiredness and this year 5,000 traffic police and 1,200 road safety officers will be strategically placed around the country in an attempt to cut the fatality rate.

Especially concerned at the number of people killed in motorcycle accidents, Chan Kong Choy encouraged riders to consider other ways of travelling and said, "The Government is encouraging this group of people to use public transportation throughout the festive season to avoid deaths."

What is crime?

A crime is an action or omission that constitutes an offense that may be prosecuted by the state and is punishable by law. I think the crime is poor people's mistake I understand offender's mind. For sure, they have to do something wrong because of their surrounding. But they have to get punishment and I think punishment is their medicine. They will get it the thing they did is really terrible and they won't do the crime except some psychos.
