death penalty
Capital punishment is an extremely controversial issue in today's society. Many Americans support it and, in turn, many also appose it tremendously. Those who appose capital punishment, in general, think that the death penalty is an inhuman and unfair punishment. Their argument is supported by the fact that many criminals claim innocence up until the day of their executions. Those who support capital punishment believe that the people who are on death row and incapable of retribution and deserve the ultimate punishment for their wrong doings. The fight between the moralities of capital punishment is also used to support and oppose the view of both sides. Capital punishment is one public issue that a person is either in favor of or against-no in-between. I read two articles addressing this issue: one that opposed and one that supported. Each article gave sufficient arguments to why they believed in the form of punishment that they did. The first article entitled Tough-on-Crime governors raise capital punishment questions strictly opposed capital punishment. The author, Scott Lindlaw, made this article extremely unique by simply stating several facts that helped to fight his position of oppos
This is the punishment that fits the crime, so to speak. ing the death penalty as an appropriate form of capital punishment. In my opinion, they don't value the meaning of the precious gift of life that God has bestowed upon all of us. Butts claims that "the death penalty endorses the sanctity of human by opposing deliberate acts of homicide and that makes it acceptable. The Bible states, "An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, a life for a life. Lindlaw argued that too many people were being put to death while still proclaiming innocence and incorrect judgment until the time of their last breath. " Author Steven Butts said "God forgave us not because he was big-hearted enough to do so and overlook our great mass of sins but because his own son, Jesus, was willing to give his life for ours. However, Jesus gave his life as retribution of our own which in a form was like the death penalty because our old lives were done away with, taken, by the taking of Jesus Christs life. It tried to convince the reader that capital punishment was wrong because more and more influential people were seemingly turning against it. Evidence is used to sway the opinion of the reader. This article stated that "capital punishment should not be used except in cases of definite, unquestionable proclaimed criminal activity" that could only be made right by the ultimate punishment, the death penalty. By producing evidence to support ones personal belief their opinion is strengthened and people can really understand where the author is coming from and where his beliefs are stemmed from. I personally support the death penalty because I believe that if one can take the life of another, then that person doesn't value their own life as much as they should. According to author Steven Butts "we must ask if God requires the death penalty" before it is possible to condemn or condone it.
