Recommended: The importance of being honest

Firstly, I think that this is what we all should aspire towards, regardless of current events or the date. It's part of being a good human, and, while difficult at times, I think it's absolutely necessary. (I'll admit I've faltered at times on this.)

That being said, I also think that it won't have any effect on any shootings, whatsoever.

I see a similar issue in the "walk-outs" (which, honestly, look more like 'astro-turfs' to me). We can all probably agree that murder is bad -- I fail to see what any form of reiterating that would do.

These solutions stem from an over-simplification of the issue. As humans, we want a quick, simple answer, but that's not always possible, especially when dealing with so many variables and such little information.

    According to deathpenatlyinfo.org, currently there are 32 states with the death penalty and 18 states without the death penalty. Society has always punished people that do unlawful actions. Being that murder is the most is in highest interest of preventing, the strongest punishment available, the death penalty, is used. People may think when states sentence murderers to death that it would prevent future murderers from doing the same actions seeing that they will receive the same punishment. Deathpenaltycurriculum.org reports, “Moreover, even if some studies regarding deterrence are inconclusive, that is only because the death penalty is rarely used and takes years before an execution is actually carried out”. Not only that but some states that don’t have the death penalty have lower crimes rates than those that do. In my opinion the death penalty should be abolished due to many purposeful reasons including: financial costs, the process slowing down the court system, life in prison being far more effective, possibility of convicting and killing an innocent person, and violating “cruel and unusual” punishment clause.

  • The Persuasive Speech On The Ideas Of The Death Penalty

    1336 Words  | 3 Pages

    “... Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement. For even the very wise cannot see all ends” (J.R.R. Tolkien). As far back as prehistoric times, the ideas of the death penalty have emerged. Previous offenses included marrying someone Jewish, treachery, chopping down a tree, and oddly enough, the theft of someone's rabbit. As a punishment for committing a crime, someone could be subjected to the torture of being hung, crucified, beheaded, speared, dismembered, boiled, drowned, thrown from a cliff or burned at the stake. Death penalty methods presently are more modernized and include electrocution, lethal injection, gas chambers, and a firing squad.

People have killed for petty reasons such as money and power, or for other reasons like pure hated or defense. The list goes on and on without end but there is one prevalent reason that currently rises above the rest. That issue is religion and it has been grounded to our culture since the dawn of man, thought it has also brought about a controversy that has persisted for centuries. Religious wars
