1000


Say NO! to the death penalty.

I personally believe in capital punishment.

           Capital punishment should be abolished to ensure preservation of human rights and integrity of governmental morality. First, the execution of the death penalty results in a grave violation of human rights in case of false accusation. For instance, capital punishment was abolished in the UK after the wrongful death of Timothy Evans, who was an innocent victim of a mistrial. Unlike other sentences, death penalty is irrevocable. Second, the law enforcement cannot be a justification of killing, because there is no such thing as “moral killing.” Additionally, placing death penalties onto murderer is paradoxical since government is committing “murder” in the name of justice.
           Life imprisonment can be an ideal alternative as it does not have the critical drawbacks of the death penalty. In addition, it can inflict much harsher punishments to mass murders or terrorists who deserve such extreme measures. For these reasons, capital punishment must be eradicated.

  1. Very good writing,reflective of a PM speech in debtate. But as the prompt states, 1000 characters (you are 28 over) and you need only one argument. You have up to three. As I explained in class, your true opinion needs to be properly introduced. I provided an excellent model. Try to follow prompts more precisely.
