Based on the Best Bet theory we can assume that the risk of losing one’s own life and any potential to ever see freedom again is just as good of a punishment as any other. If not using capital punishment reduces how many are deterred and does not reduce the number of innocent lives taken we too are responsible for the loss of those lives. We are responsible not only for our own direct actions but also for our inaction and the consequences of it. Objections to the death Penalty: Objection 1: “Capital punishment is a morally unacceptable thirst for revenge.” Revenge is a personal response, done out of anger and hatred, which inflicts harm to the perpetrator. Retributivism is an unbiased and impartial response to a perpetrator that has wronged another.
Revenge is sweeter when the person least expects it. I think that this story is trying to tell people not to insult other people because they might a revenge on you and the revenge could be worse than what you did to that person. I like to get revenge on people but it
There is a moral difference between Shelton’s killing of his attackers and that of his other victims. Darby and Ames caused personal harm to Shelton and thus gave him the moral right to try and prevent any other future pain that could be caused by these men, but the other victims were combatants in the war that Shelton waged against the “system”. When looking at Darby and Ames, Shelton takes a more utilitarian approach when dealing with their killings. The government “system” is supposed to punish those who are wrong. But in the trial of Darby and Ames, only Ames was punished severely while Darby was allowed to go free.
He is stating that he is very unfortunate and wishes that he was not banished. In conclusion the actions and regrets of revenge are well planted in “Romeo and Juliet”. Revenge is show when Abrams, Gregory, and Sampson start a street fight, Tybalt kills Mercutio, and Romeo kills Tybalt. By acting with revenge, you will always carry out extreme measures and wind up in certain undesirable
I learned that violence could not make things better, the violence only could made things worse. And if the party breached the contract with me, I knew I should use the rule of law to sue him or her, and I can get my compensation back. And I could help my friend to protect our rights in the
"If that have not avenged me, I can do no more!" Chillingworth says that the letter was revenge enough for the crime that Hester committed, but she wore it as a badge of pride. This punishment did not wear her down the way that Dimmesdale’s did. While Chillingworth was evil in his last years, he could have done more to punish Hester secretly, but he did not take it to that extreme. Perhaps he did care for her more and he would admit.
Even where justice can be reached, the gods always sway the mortals to take revenge on the people who have wronged them. There are two ways to respond to a criminal’s offenses: one is to seek justice and the other thing one can do is seek revenge. Human nature desires that the criminal be punished and this will be achieved…and Desiring that a criminal be punished is a part of human nature that will come to fruition either by… Wanting a criminal to be punished is a part of human nature and will always happen whether or not the means are by justice or
Many wars have been fought for the sake of revenge. The guilty have suffered severe vengeance that went beyond the punishment being fit for the crime. Rarely is revenge seen as “sweet revenge”. All of society has experienced acts of vengeance in their lives in some form. It is a dark emotion felt by all.
Do you believe that the judicial system should be based on holding people accountable for their choices (blame) or probability of future crimes committed? Explain your answer. I believe the judicial system should have this role. It is their job to serve justice and keep society safe. If someone has this problem, they should look for help before its too late.
Thats why I believe that plea bargaining should be reanalyzed to find ways in using this aspect as well as making sure that the accused has learned their lesson while having a lesser chance of entering back into society with the intent of returning to old habits. Meaning that we need to add greater influencing programs to those who plea bargain, so that they see what they were doing was wrong. This way when they are released they make sure they do everything possible so that they do not go back into the justice
