Death penalty VS Life in prison By Colin Robertson “Other states are trying to abolish the death penalty... mine's putting in an express lane.” – Ron White The death penalty, as it is commonly referred, is the penalty sometimes given to the criminals faced with the most horrific crimes possible. Many feel it is necessary in order to keep society safe because of how it permanently removes these select people from society, feeling that this will keep them safe from danger. It has been a part of the justice system since the beginning of human history, used primarily in cases of murder, treason and in military service, but just because something is old, doesn’t mean it’s what is right. The last several centuries have seen the emergence of modern nation states. Almost obvious to the concept of nation state is the idea of citizenship.
Supporters of the death penalty argue that it is the only just punishment for a murderer. I believe that the death penalty should be ended because one’s life is not more precious than another, the process is inhumane, and it is expensive. One of the reasons the death penalty should be stopped is because it puts the value of one’s life over another. Others may claim that the death penalty is a way to punish murderers. Although murder is a horrific crime to commit, is death really the only just punishment?
Therefore, God used his wise to insight everything, in order to keep a stable life for the ancient Chinese people. God is all-powerful. God can do everything what he want. For example, in ancient China, when Xia dynasty rulers corrupted, God made Shang dynasty to replace it. So, God has the power to lead people to find the right way.
Deterrence is an act or process of discouraging and preventing an action from occurring. When potential killers know that the cost of their murderous action can result in their own death, they are much more hesitant and more likely to reconsider their plans. Murderers are selfish and sick-minded people who have no consideration of others. Isaac Ehrlich puts it perfectly, “ if one execution of a guilty capital murderer deters the murder of one innocent life, the execution is justified.” Therefore, capital punishment should be strictly enforced and legalized.Capital punishment also provides protection to the society. Philosopher Jackues Barzun compares such criminals to wolves.
The qualities a good president must have are often qualities good men need. Such qualities being honorable, trustworthy, and the ability to be a leader to people of all backgrounds, ethnicities, or culture in the United States. These qualities are shown in all presidents, as they should be,because it allows for people to trust and accept their president, if the people like their president and the president enjoys his job then the country will prosper. Having honor is needed because, a president must love his country and have the upmost respect for it, if he does not, then anything could happen, wars, poverty, or another nation wide depression. Trustworthiness is needed, because it shows that you have nothing to worry about in your country, weather it be wars, or nuclear warfare.
#1 For all Chinese people, Confucianism ideals have withstood the tests of time and have been a great influence upon their lives. Sometimes viewed as more of a philosophy than a religion, Confucianism is best described as a way of life. Confucius, the founder and teacher of Confucianism, held a deep belief in the innate nature of human goodness. This principle of human goodness is the foundation of all Confucianist belief. Confucianism is characterized by a highly optimistic view of human nature and by the belief that humans are teachable, improvable, and perfectible through personal and communal endeavors.
Another characteristic of President Lincoln’s leadership style was that he displayed good moral character. He was honest, fair, sincere and trust worthy. Those who worked under him knew that they could trust President Lincoln because he was consistently fair and was fair and decent both when congratulating and disciplining his subordinates. Another leadership quality that Lincoln possessed that leaders should incorporate into their practices is to set goals and be result-oriented. Setting goals give followers a common end to work towards.
According to this view, if the state is allowed to kill, why is not this privilege extended to all citizens? Nevertheless, as valuable as this contention may be, what York fails to recognize is that everyone who is condemned to death has received a trial by jury and has been found guilty “beyond a reasonable doubt”--the same criteria applied in the judgment of all accused persons. Sentencing someone to death, therefore, is not an arbitrary decision. It is one that is passed by a government who has promised to protect everyone who abides by the rules and codes of a moral and decent society. How can we allow a small but ever-growing percentage of the population to continually hurt others because not enough fear is instilled in these individuals--their lives are not threatened, so
The death penalty is a great tool for the American justice system. Without it, criminals may have the opportunity to reoffend or commit other heinous crimes. The death penalty also saves the lives of what may be future victims by preventing these criminals from ever having the opportunity to commit another crime against innocent civilians. There are those who will argue that we are taking away their human rights to live. True, every human was born with human rights, but I believe if you take away someone else’s life, you give up your human rights.
