The death penalty should be abolished. One of the worst ways of dying is the death penalty‚ so it should be abolished. Nobody has the right or the authority to determine the death of somebody‚ only God has given us the life‚ so he is the only one who can take it away.

In many sports‚ trophies are given for the simplest things such as participation. Just because the child participated does not mean that he or she deserves the trophy. The participation trophy does not teach the child of the real world. Moreover‚ the trophies may be causing more harm to the child than good. For example‚ children do not get rewarded for making an A on a test; however‚ they get rewarded for making an A as their final grade that goes on the permanent record. Not every child should
