Without capital punishment, our lives are less secure and crimes of violence increase. Capital punishment is essential to control violence in society. What is your standpoint?

#punishment #lives #crimes #violence #control #society #standpoint

It is widely believed that the exercise of capital punishment

that is

extinguishing criminal's

life

such

as hanging, lethal injection, shooting, execution and the like is a vital tool in maintaining peace in society. I strongly disagree with

this

point of view, as I believe that there are alternative penalties other than death that can be imposed to punish anyone.

First

of all, humans have no right to kill another human for any reason, no matter how severe the crime is. Killing another human being cannot undo the crime.

Moreover

, it can happen that the offender was convicted and wrongly executed. There is no turning back on the

life

that was taken.

For example

, if a criminal was not proven guilty after 15 years, if he had been executed, nobody could have done justice to his

life

Secondly

, some

crimes

are committed by mentally sick people. Those people are not responsible for their deeds. Rather, they can be put in hospitals for the rest of their

life

and where it can be safer for both the community and the individual.

For instance

, mentally sick persons can be put in mental institutions where they can be treated and locked up and prevented from committing

further

crimes

. While there is no question that criminals should be punished for the

crimes

that they have committed, it is clear that there are alternative solutions with a similar purpose of making criminals realise their mistakes. In conclusion, I don't agree that the death sentence is the only option for decreasing violence and

crimes

in society. We should avoid capital punishment

such

as death and try to make our society a more humane one.

Some people think that, in order to increase the amount of waste products that are recycled, governments should introduce laws making recycling a compulsory act. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?
Financial illiteracy used to be the biggest problem of my childhood. Though, my mother had an average salary and some bonuses from my father as a child support. Even though, my mom did not have enough financial knowledge to manage money effectively. I really did not have an idea what is happening due to my young and silly mind. As a big brother to my sister and an assistant to my mother I had to find a way to abandon these paycheck-to-paycheck lifestyle.

Although more and more people read news on the Internet, newspapers remain the main source of news for the majority of people. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
The popularity of accessing information from online news outlets is rising, but some groups still believe in printed newspapers' supremacy as the sole source of information for most people. I strongly disagree that the majority of the readers still buy physical newspapers to fulfil their information needs. From my viewpoint, most people prefer to read news on the internet over physical papers for efficiency and timing purposes.
