Capital Punishment
The most severe of all sentences is death. Also known as the death penalty, capital punishment this is the most severe form of punishment permitted in the Unite States. It has been banned in many countries. The United States, however, made an earlier move to eliminate capital punishment but it has been reversed and more and more states are resorting to capital punishment for serious offenses such as murder. An eye for and eye is a famous line for punishment and even the Bible mentions it. People have been using it regularly for centuries. We use it in reference to burglary, adultery, love and many other crimes. However, some people use it on a different level. Some people try to use it in reference to death. This raises and important question; do we really have the right to kill those who have killed? Today, there is a big controversy over capital punishment whether or not it works, or if it is morally right. We have a certain privilege on our own lives, but do the lives of others belong to us as well? Do we have the right to decide whether another person can or cannot live? We find someone guilty of murder and sentence them to death, doesn’t that make us murderers as well? Can anything justify these acts?
