explain why I believe the arguments for capital punishment are stronger. On the one hand, there are clear arguments that the benefits of killing violent criminals bring a lot of relief and peace to people who are petrified of them. One of the main reasons can be that the fear of execution acts as a deterrent to commit serious crimes

On the other hand

Firstly

, I believe that sentencing criminals to death is just committing another murder and many religions are opposed to any form of murder.

It is important for children to leran the difference between right and wrong at an early age. Punishment is necessary to help them learn this distinction. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion? What sort of punishment should parents and teachers be allowed to use to teach good behaviour to children?
In our contemporary era, it is acknowledged that youth need to acquire the difference between right and wrong at an early stage of their development, accompanied by punishment policies to help them thrive. In my opinion, it is an old-fashioned method to stimulate the young generation's self-awareness studies which could lead to a harmful environment, triggering more murder in the future.

There is no denying the fact that the main goal of many nations is to elevate the standard of living of their people through economic evolution. While it is a commonly held belief that many important social values may disappear, there is also an argument that opposes this view. I consider that many pros will occur as a result of economic development, which outweighs its drawbacks.
