Identify and Criticise How Media Affect Our Perception of Reality

While some believe that the answer for the increase violent acts in the Maldives is the death penalty, others think it is against human rights to implement it. What are the pros and cons of allowing death penalty in the Maldives? Maldives is a small nation allocated in South Asia. The only religion Maldivians follow is Islam. That leaded the peoples of Maldives to have a good relation with each other. This small nation is so peaceful that tourists call this country as “heaven on earth”. But now a dark shadow of violence is surrounding the nation day by day. It is spreading like a viral disease. What is the reason of increasing violence in Maldives? Some peoples say the reason why violence is increasing day by day is not taking the real steps against the peoples who are doing these things. When we look at records of criminal court there were 1959 complains. Among them 65 were violence crimes.

According to legal assistant of criminal court Mohmed Amir 70% of the peoples who are committed in violence activities are repeaters. They are coming repeatedly in criminal court. So it is a proof that the steps which are taken to them are not suitable. That is the reason why peoples are demanding for death penalty in the Maldives. But there will be side effects of this also. Death is a decision that will bring person to an end. So if this is done the relatives of the person who is held to death may try to take revenge from the other family. So there are chances of increasing violence. On the other hand country like Saudi Arabia is presently following death penalty but it didn’t increase violence. It decreased crimes in Saudi Arabia. In Singapore also death penalties are implemented for some crimes like drug dealing. Most of the violence activities that take place in Maldives are done by a gang. So they are very much linked. It may seem like a small group but it is very much spread all
