Capitlal Punishment is Reasonable For Society
Capital Punishment is reasonable in today's society. What this means is that as long as people are still committing acts of violence, no matter how civilized a society thinks it is there must be a sufficient punishment for those crimes. It is funny how long it took for this nation, a nation that is supposed to set the example for the rest of the world to finally question the morality or ethics of capital punishment. Why you may ask has it taken so long, I believe that it has taken this long because we are a country born out of violence towards others. For the short amount of time we have been a nation we have been in several major wars and I believe that is why we are the super power we are today. If we as so called civilized people still participate in wars how can we not be expected to execute our own citizens to punish them for crimes against society. Support for the death penalty in the U.S. has risen to an average of 80%.

Capital punishment also insures peace of mind because it insures that murders will never kill again. So in conclusion considering all the facts Capital Punishment is Reasonable in today's society. In a society in witch people try so hard to be civilized isn't it funny that we find ourselves following the first code of human laws Hamarabi's code and eye for an eye. All of this should make us wary of irreversible punishments such as death. Nobody can honestly say with confidence that all of the 598 people executed since the death penalty's relegalization were guilty. And that begs the question--the one death penalty advocates are generally unwilling to address--of what frequency of error we are willing to tolerate in order to preserve capital punishment. tate criminals they want them to pay their debt to society and if they killed someone that debt should be their lives. Most supporters of the death penalty feel that offenders should be punished for their crimes, and that it does not matter whether it will deter the crime rate.
