Some people believe that capital punishment should not be used. Others, however, argue that it should be allowed for the most serious crimes. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

Punishment

of criminals is mandatory in our society to teach and guide them to follow a different and correct path. It is often argued that capital

punishment

ought to be abolished, while others believe that it must be upheld to punish lawbreakers with heinous crimes. In my opinion, I believe that the killing of humans as a form of retributions should not be allowed.

This

essay will discuss both sides of

this

argument and

further

elaborate on it. On the one hand, certain individuals believe that killing a person who committed a serious crime should be allowed because he or she has destroyed so many lives, it does not only affect the one who died but

also

all involved personnel.

Therefore

authorities believed that they will never feel remorse or

change

and will end up hurting more people.

For example

, a serial killer or a mass murder, is a crime committed by someone who is not right mentally, physically, and socially and it does not only affect the victims but

also

families, friends, and all involved.

Hence

the reason for allowing capital

punishment

On the other hand

, some people believe that criminals with a series of crimes should be pardon because killing is inhumane and the culprit can

change

after a series of counselling and education.

For instance

, several prisoners in the world have been locked up and are very dangerous, but after several counselling and teaching in jail, they actually feel remorseful and changed completely.

This

is the reason why

such

individuals should be given mercy and a chance to

change

. I believe in

second

chance and those who have committed a serious crime should be given an opportunity to

change

and of course, punished but not capital

punishment

. In conclusion, it is important that criminals should be dealt with according to the law but

also

give them a chance to

change

and learn from what they have done but definitely not to be punished by killing because it is wrong and inhumane.

Some people say that increasing price of petrol is the best way to solve growing traffic and pollution problems. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Some would say that the best method for solving the traffic and pollution problem that is being caused by petrol use is to inflate its charge. This essay disagrees with that statement because it can because it harms lower middle-class society who need petrol in their everyday work. Furthermore, there is a better solution to stop the rising traffic and pollution dilemma. For example, the procurement of public transport.

In some countries, university students live at home with their family while they study, whereas in other countries, students attend university in another city. Do you think the benefits of living away from home during university outweigh the disadvantages?
In the present time, it is believed by many individuals that finishing university in another city or country away from their family is beneficial for students, while other people think that it can be hard for them. In my opinion, I consider that attending university away from home can bring about more advantages for students compared to any problems it might bring.

Some people believe that capital punishment should not be used. Others, however, argue that it should be allowed for the most serious crimes. Discuss both views and give your opinion.
