CAPITAL PUNISHMENT SHOULD BE IMPOSED FOR TERRORIST KILLINGS

Nowadays we all know what the terrorism is. Everyone remember 11th September 2001. It was the biggest terrorist attack. It shocked all of the World. Every country help USA fighting to end the terrorism. All the World start to find the way to stop this problem. Most of countries send their soldiers to catch terrorists and bring peace in the World. There is a few ways to stop this and punish terrorist. One of them is capital punishment but is it really the best way of punishment? Let’s think about it. Everyone is able to be involve in terrorist attack. When you go to work, school or shopping. Terrorist attack can touch you everywhere. We don’t think about it but it is true. We risk our life all the time. The terrorists are blow up themselves to accomplish a purpose which could be kill people because of faith or, like USA, they are occupying their country for mineral goods. So terrorists want to take over their lands or country. They want to get one's revenge for pry into their affairs. Because of this they blow up buses, trains, planes and themselves with thousands innocent people who didn’t do anything against them. The terrorists are training all their life to kill. Young boys are learning what they have to do and they really don’t know that it is wrong. But it doesn’t excuse them that they do what they do. Terrorist know that they kill people but they don’t really think about it.
Although most terrorists are killing people by killing themselves should we kill them? Killing terrorists wouldn’t be punish for what they do. We should think about other way to take care of this problem because killing this people is not a solution. If they want to kill themselves what it change if we kill them? It is not a solution this is a big mistake. The terrorists have to pay for what they do. Kill them is the easiest way to get rid of them. But we can put them to prison for life

    Firstly, the death penalty is a form of revenge which is an outdated method for justice in our society today. Using this method of an eye for an eye type of punishment is the inhumanely killing of a person. As said by Ghandi, "An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind" meaning revenge or retribution is not the answer you should seek when punishing someone. This form of punishment has been used since ancient times and is so severe that it can not be reversed. The permanence of this punishment is unsparing and does not give the person any chances to be rehabilitated or try to be integrated back into society. The very worst means of torture or disciplinary action is to take a person’s life. The whole purpose of our justice system is to impede criminals from committing crime by the means of punishment that…

    The use of torture in the world is not a new idea. The use of torture in the world dates back to the 530 AD Roman Empire where Roman jurists viewed the virtues of torture as “the highest forms of truth (Ross, 2005).” The United States though has a long history of humane practices of prisoners captured during war. In the Revolutionary War, General George Washington ordered that his troops never torture British Red Coats, “[this] new country in the New World would distinguish itself by its humanity.” Even in the prosecution of Nazi German Soldiers post World War II, the U.S. argued for the rights of prisoners of war. The U.S. was entrusted…

    The death penalty is never the right choice. In America last year fifty three people were executed, and at this time in the USA over 3500 people are on death row. The amount of people on death row shows that the use of Capital punishment is not decreasing crime in America. Therefore Capital Punishment has no point. The latest country to abolish the death penalty for all crimes was Albania in early 2007. The abolition of Capital Punishment in Albania shows that the death penalty obviously doesn 't work. The country tried using it and it failed. Since 1973, there were 138 death row exonerations in the United States. That 's 138 innocent people who were mistakenly sentenced to death in a U.S. Court room, and later had their convictions overturned due to further research in light of new evidence. The fact is: the death penalty is much more of a retribution measure than a preventative measure. There is no clear cut proof that the death penalty will prevent people from killing each other…

    “Modern terrorism involves the heartless killing of children throwing stones at tanks, deaths of pregnant women at security roadblocks, suicide bombings carried out in buses and discotheques, the terrorizing of luminous cities at night with bombing sorties, and the incineration of worshippers at mosques.” . Since the attacks on the twin towers on September 11, many people fear Islamic terrorism, but Islamic terrorist organizations did not just begin with the 9/11 attacks. Different terrorist organizations, such as Al Qaeda and the Moslem Brothers have existed for many years, although some have died out, others still thrive, and some of the organizations spark the beginning of new terrorist regimes. Islamic terrorist organizations have formed…

    I, myself, before September 11, 2001 did not know what terrorism was. It is completely a new term for me, and I could never figure how terrible it is. But then, experiencing and witnessing the feeling of losing the one you loved who was a victim of that disaster, I recognized that the world is no longer as safe as before. Today, not only America but also Britain, Spain, Indonesia…became the target of terrorists. The terror tissue is the most challenged thing for all the governments to solve. Even though after September 11, 2001, US has attacked and destroyed a lot terrorists’ bases in over the world, the terrorists still survive and keep aiming to US and its allies.…

    Growing up in America many of us would agree that torturing someone is extremely cruel and should not be performed on anybody. However, given the right circumstances I believe that it in some cases torturing someone should be carried out to those who deserve it such as terrorists. It is obvious that terrorists do not care about others rights so why should they deserve theirs. Why should such criminals who are willing to shoot and blow up many harmless people for no reason have the right to voice their opinion on being handled fairly? Individuals who are capable of committing such horrendous crimes should not be entitled to have a say on how to be treated. I feel that torturing these kinds of people would hopefully give them a taste of their own medicine and…

    Terrorism is defined as the use of violence and intimidation in the pursuit of political aims. Unfortunately, when many people hear the term terrorism, they think of 9-11 and the horrific events of that day. That reason is why most individuals think that military force is the most logical answer to snuffing out terrorists. One of the largest problems with that course of action is the loss of human life associated with it. Unfortunately that may not be the largest problem associated with terrorism. The fact of the matter is that it will never go away. What we need to ask ourselves as a society is how we can combat terror. Some solutions could…

One, out of the many events, that in the past have impacted the huge debate on torture was on September 11, 2001, a terrorist attack occurred where four planes were hijacked by terrorists and two were flown into the World Trade Center in New York Center, causing the country to become in an uproar.

    Although you’d think terrorists have a psychopathic mindset, with no empathy for who they kill or why they do it, the truth is actually the opposite of this. Most terrorists are people bored with their lives and want to do something thrilling, to get their adrenaline flowing. There are also other reasons, such as wanting to make a change in the world, or they have been brainwashed with propaganda believing that killing is right. The biggest victims of this are children aged 13-16 with a very low self esteem, and the propaganda is fed through the biggest way of international…

    I have to take away how i feel and base my opinion on my morals. I do not think it is humane to use the death penalty as a form of punishment. It goes against what i think of as being morally right. Killing someone to teach people that killing is wrong does not work, It's hypocritical. In the article by Mary E. Williams she makes a very good point. “To this cycle of retributive vengeance there is no end. In the words of Mohandas Gandhi, "An eye for an eye makes the whole world…
