Some people think that having a set retirement age (e.g. 65 years) for everybody, regardless of occupation, is unfair. They believe that certain workers deserve to retire and receive a pension at an early age. Do you agree or disagree? Which types of workers do you think should benefit from early retirement? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience. Write at least 250 words.

Firstly

, Edward Feser, PhD, and Joseph M. Bessette, PhD, stated the following in their article “Why the

Is Still Necessary” at The Catholic World Report website: “In another way, to sentence the most brutal and conscienceless murderers to less than

death

Use synonyms

would fail to do

justice

Use synonyms

because the

– presumably a long period in

– would be grossly disproportionate to the heinousness of the crime. Prosecutors, jurors, and the loved ones of

has an immense impact on the victim’s loved ones. The suffering of the victim’s family is immeasurably increased, knowing that the person who murdered their family member and who, in many cases, inflicted unimaginable terror – is alive and being cared for. Of course, putting the murderer to

death

doesn’t bring back their loved one, but it sure does provide some sense of

justice

Use synonyms

.

Secondly

Linking Words

, the society doesn’t have the duty to pay for a murderer’s whole

life

in jail. It is very expensive to hold someone in

prison

Use synonyms

for

life

Use synonyms

. On average, prisoners stay in

prison

for 30 to 40 years at a cost of $40,000 to $50,000 per year. It seems unfair that we taxpayers are paying for a psychopathic killer’s living expenses. Many opponents of capital

believe that killing murderers is the same as

murder

, and that eliminating them would be

However

, people often confuse retribution with revenge. Vengeance signifies inflicting harm on the offender out of anger because of what he has done. Retribution is the rationally supported theory that the criminal

also

argue that keeping murderers alive sanctifies the value of human

Use synonyms

. But the opposite is true. Keeping every murderer alive cheapens human

life

Use synonyms

because it belittles

murder

Use synonyms

. Society teaches how bad an action is by the

punishment

for

were the same as the

for driving over the speed limit. Wouldn’t that disparage

murder

and thereby devalue the importance of one’s

life

Use synonyms

? Other arguments against capital

punishment

Use synonyms

include the claim that an innocent person may be executed.

However

Linking Words

,

although

Linking Words

this

argument may be sincerely held, it’s not entirely honest.

This

assertion implies that opponents of capital

punishment

oppose the

death

penalty

Use synonyms

even when there is absolute proof of the

guilt. And now, with DNA testing and other advanced forensic tools, it is virtually impossible to execute an innocent person. In conclusion, the

death

Use synonyms

penalty

Use synonyms

should not be abolished because it shows the hand of

justice

Use synonyms

to the worst criminals, like terrorists.

Moreover

, it is certainly ridiculous that we have to pay for a convict’s

life

in

prison

while we can just get rid of the threat imposed by him with execution.

Nonetheless

will surely continue as more research is done and new information is available.
