Abstract

In recent times, Death Penalty has increased in our country. Government has established this rules regarding death penalty in order to control the crimes that has gone out of hand. Capital punishment plays significant, non-emotional role in Bengali social and political culture. I suggest that the death penalty becomes an unproblematic, indeed, preferred method and symbol of justice in this venue through a discursive process which reduces the underlying social issues to a battle between average citizens and evil murderers. Once so reduced, no costs of capital punishment can outweigh the justice of it. Ultimately these communications reveal a set of sensibilities about crime and punishment which seem to long for a detour from the civilizing path, in that the communicators seek to deny any interdependencies or empathies with those who commit violent crime, while working to unleash punishment from its institutional restraints.

    After analyzing Ernest Van Den Haag’s case study ‘In Defense of the Death Penalty’, and Hugo A. Bedau’s ‘The Case Against the Death Penalty’, I have conflicting feelings contradict my own analysis. Ernest Van Den Haag breaks down the pros and cons of the death penalty and uses retributivism to justify death penalty and capital punishment, while Hugo A. Bedau’s article is about the inconsistency in capital punishment and in particular on the abolition of practice. Each article states key positions that make my feelings conflicted between both sides, Bedau backs up that the majority of people persecuted fight through several trails after a long period incarcerated with life sentenced to death end up guilty. (Bedau, 243) Van Den Haag key positions reflect in the retributivist statement, “eye for an eye”. (Van Den Haag, 231) I believe in both sides, and in my own opinion there is no solution for middle ground.…

    The death penalty has been most talked about for years, to some it is an unfair way to pass judgment on a person. The argument went as far as to say that conforming to such a method is a step backwards and offers no real solution. Critic Coretta Scott King argued strongly against the practice and rebukes the idea. One can always say what they want about the matter but insufficient knowledge with hinder their judgment. The death penalty ought to be considered as a means of punishment for those who commit ghastly murders.…

    “Forgiving violence does not mean condoning violence. There are only two alternatives to forgiving violence: revenge, or adopting an attitude of never-ending bitterness and anger. For too long we have treated violence with violence, and that's why it never ends.” (Coretta Scott King, Widow of Martin Luther King) Capital Punishment should be considered cruel and unusual punishment. The Catholic Church is adamantly opposed to the death penalty. The death penalty should be banned as long as there are non-lethal means to defend and protect the people’s safety.…

    In the poem “To an Athlete Dying Young” by A.E. Housman, a classical scholar and poet, who was once a Professor of Latin at University College, in London in 1892, and the song “My Hero” by the band Foo Fighters, an American rock band formed by singer/guitarist/drummer Dave Grohl in 1995, both talk about a hero who dies young and in the peak of their fame. Similar literary elements that the poem and the song shared were they both had apostrophe and both of their stanzas are quatrain. Something that “To an Athlete Dying Young” had that “My Hero” did not have was metaphors and personification. The poem and song are both try to look at death in more of a positive way, and being young but still being able to have such an affect on others.…

The judicial decree that someone be punished in this manner is a death sentence, while the actual process of killing the person is an execution.

    Looking at the death penalty system in action, you realize that the only purpose it serves is retribution or revenge, it is seriously (and intrinsically) flawed in application and there is a serious and continuing risk of executing innocent people. And, it costs much more than life in prison. Sources below.…

    The death penalty has been an ongoing debate for many years. The following essay will not solve the issue either; I will only try to persuade the reader to understand my point of view. The death penalty has both supporters and non-supporters. The death penalty is justified in certain cases such as Mcveigh Vs State of Indiana; however it is unjustified when in other cases, including Bloodsworth Vs State of Maryland. The death penalty is a must, especially in today 's society. With the increase in vicious crimes today, the government must act just as harsh with our justice system to try and prevent these types of crimes. Non-supporters argue that the death penalty is inhumane and should be considered murder. People of this malicious caliber must be dealt with in the same way, an eye for an eye. Putting these criminals to death doesn 't solve the crime that they committed, but it helps the victim 's family and friends to feel a sense of justification for what 's happened to them.…

    Lethal injection has become the preferred method of execution in the United States since the early 80's. But is lethal injection a harsh enough penalty for murder? The answer is no, it is not a good enough punishment for someone who has taken the life of another. Lethal injection is a process that allows a convict to be put down quickly and painlessly, but what happened to the older methods? Methods such as hanging, electrocution, and firing squads are not used in a large scale these days. These methods are the kind that makes the offender miserable for the last moments of their life; these are the methods I think that should be used today. I am going to argue that the life in prison is not enough, the death penalty should be worse than what it is, and public executions have a greater deterrent effect.…

    Capital punishment or the death penalty is a legal process whereby a person is put to death by the state as a punishment for a crime. The discriminative decree that someone be punished in this manner is a death sentence, while the actual process of killing the person is an execution. This may be done as an act of retribution, to ensure that the individual cannot commit future crimes, and or as a deterrent for potential criminals.Crimes that can result in a death penalty are known as capital crimes or capital offences. This one is the bill that the government wants to re implement as a law to the Philippines. According to the research, the death penalty bill was pending since the year of 2005. Many say that this is so interesting because the death penalty is one of the most hotly debated topics in the world. Many religions oppose it, although others support it or take no official position. Some modern philosophical theories of ethics disagree with the practice, although many philosophers argue that certain crimes should automatically result in the person losing his or her "right to life." The researcher comes up to this topic because of the many interesting issues that this bill includes. It talks about human rights, if death penalty right or wrong, justice, mercy, forgiveness and many others that are related.…
