First argument: Extra judicial killing is unethical.
This article basically talks about extra judicial killing which is not acceptable in a society. Though it is reduce crime, but ethically it is not a proper judgment. Only because of that Most of the people are becoming safe and happy. In 1972, the paramilitary group Jatiya RakkhiBahini came into force and had become renowned for its extra judicial executions. Now Rapid Action battalion (RAB) started such are killings again and introduced new terms of crossfire which is not totally acceptable in a society.
In my point of view, it is ethical. Only because of that crime is decreasing and people are become happy and safety. According to Jeremy Bentham theory it is go with utilitarianism because the principal of utilitarianism is maximum happiness of the maximum number. Though, RAB are killing terrorist only because of the safety of people. So, People get relief from their crime. It is beneficial to our society to maximize the happiness by killing a group of people. Moreover, if we talk about Duty ethics then it is also goes with this term. Duty ethics mainly talks about your intention of your action should be good. So, whatever they doing it are ultimately benefited for them and it is also their duty. So, they are performing their duty according to the law. According to the duty it is ethical because their intention is good.
Second argument: Extra judicial killing can neither bring peace nor eradicate terrorism.
Extra judicial killing can easily bring happiness and eradicate terrorism. Though some people they have to stop crossfire. If they stop this then in a society crime will increase. They again become more aggressive than before and do their heinous work again. So, if we want to stop them then we have to take some actions against them. Though it violets human rights article 1 which states that-“All human are born free and equal in dignity and rights. If we go with
Amratya Sen theory which is justice reduce

    There are so many ways King Tut could have died. Some people are saying he was murdered and some say he died from an injury. The book of Sayre said, “at the time of Tut’s death, the last judgment was routinely illustrated in Books of Going Forth by Day (also known as Books of the Dead), collections of magical texts or spells buried with the deceased to help them survive the ritual of judgment” (Sayre, 2012, p.88).…

    Certainly I can see the enormous controversy surrounding this opinion, effectively murdering a murderer seems immoral and unjust however I argue that it is not such an outrageous suggestion. I most definitely agree that the death penalty should only be used in the most extreme of cases, for example those who have been sentenced to a Whole…

    Rene Descartes in his Discourse of the Method begins with the problem of showing and proving his own existence, but later in the reading changes the problem and it is concentrating on proving the existence of God. The first time that I thought to myself that this reading is probably about something else than proving his own existence was where the author started talking about perfection. The author defined God as “something that truly was more perfect than I was, something indeed having perfections of which I could have any idea” (Descartes, 2010, p.16).…

    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…

    When understanding criminal law it is important to consider the positive and negative effects that different punishment alternatives can have. Over the last century the use of capital punishment, the legal process for which an individual is sentence to death when found guilty of committing a crime, has been a subject debated back and forth between government parties on its effectiveness. Many people believe that the issues of fairness, constitutionality, morality of an individual’s life, and potential of convicting the innocent are too important to allow the use of the…

    How can we expect killing to stop when we kill in response to a crime?

The death penalty should not be allowed because it proves to be unsubstantial and has not shown or made any improvements is criminal activity.…

    Society demands that punishment should fix the harm it has done. By sentencing a person to death no harm has been fixed. As long as capital punishment exists in our society it will continue to spark the injustice, which it has failed to curb. The death penalty is morally and socially unethical, should be construed as cruel and unusual punishment, has no proof of acting as deterrent, and risks the appalling and unacceptable injustice of executing innocent people. It does not matter who does the killing as long as a life is taken by another, it should always be considered…

    Has it ever occurred to you that in this country you can be executed for a crime you didn’t commit, even if the method of killing you is expensive and completely unconstitutional? The government believes that this is the correct way to punish those who have committed horrific crimes. Is this really the best option? I don’t think so. As a citizen of this country, this system of “justice” appals me. The death penalty should be abolished in the United States because it is unconstitutional, comes at a great cost, and is otherwise ineffective at carrying out its intended purpose.…

    Over 17,000 people have been legally executed in the United States and there are currently over 3,000 people on death row awaiting lethal injection (“Cruel” 1). At our current rate of botched executions and exonerations, 217 executions of current death row inmates will be botched and 310 of current death row inmates will be innocent (“Cruel” 1). Also, in most parts of the world, the death penalty is no longer used and is seen as a human rights violation. The death penalty, as applied in the United States, is a clear violation of the 8th amendment’s ban on the “cruel and unusual punishment” clause and also contravenes international human rights law.…

    Fallacies in an Argument

    • 421 Words

    I disagree with the authors reasoning because most of this argument is fallacious. Amidst the author’s over-generalization on what is suggested to be a problem among the “Innocent” and the “Murders”, there is very little clarification on what constitutes an innocent person from a criminal. The author gives faulty reasoning in stating that “the death sentence is obviously a moral and political issue” this statement falls under the category of begging the question. I found that the majority of the authors reasoning were based upon the fallacy of Ad-populum. In order to derive emotion from its audience the author implies that the benefits of having a fair system of crime and punishment the “killers” must be killed and the “innocent” will be protected. The author concludes that when “people start to open their eyes and realize that it is a life and death word out there” is how society can work for the betterment of humanity. This is a fasle-delema people have other options on how they want live their life besides living or dying.…

    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…

    Death Penalty Controversy

    • 2 Pages

    When first asked the question whether or not we should have the death penalty here in the U.S. I thought there was nothing wrong with it. When criminals do heinous crimes within society I feel like the punishment they are given is well deserved. People in the U.S. have the right to freedom and right to live because of the fact they are human and we appreciate all human life. However when one individual acts in corrupt ways, that clearly shows they don’t care for good of other human life, they pretty much give up those rights that they once had. We have laws for a reason, our laws for the most part are to protect us, and if one is to not follow such laws, order needs to be restored among those individuals.…
