Persuasive Essay: Capital Punishment
Words: 832 - Pages: 4.... Bible states "Thou shalt not kill," and this being a sin should have to be amended within oneself. However, the Bible also states "Don't judge others' personal convictions." It is the government's responsibility to punish people that disobey the law to keep our world in tact but is it their right to take away their lives?

So if the government stands strongly by this statement that's on the dollar bill, may they line up all the liars, adulterers, Buddhists, thieves, covetous and .....

years old who has been in trouble with the law before took a girl with him to
his apartment with his gang and then raped her. Then when the police arrived he
said you can not touch me” . This to me is very sad first off because he is only
11 years old and he raped a girl but the thing I found most shocking and the
rest off the media was that when the police arrived he told them that they could
not touch him. Even though he did committee the crime and he should have been

Words: 1077 - Pages: 4.... these executions; (Amnesty International
article1), "The Islamic Penal Code of Iran stipulates: "In the punishment of
stoning to death, the stones should not be so large that the person dies on
being hit by one or two of them."1 This is the kind of cruelty which is
inflicted on the executed in those countries. Other methods of execution, like
the electric chair and hanging, are also quite cruel to the convicted. That is

The Caning Punishment Issue
Words: 377 - Pages: 2.... Men committing such
crimes would normally be sent to jail. While not being free is bad, these
men really lose nothing but time. The victim should also get the relief of
seeing some damage done for his pains. This would be a little bit of
vengeance for the victim. As a victim this might not set it right but it
would help them feel a little better. This would also make a very big
impression on me. If I knew I could get a very bad lashing for doing
something wrong, I would not do it. With the growing crime rate some
different actions have to be taken. What we are doing now is not working
very well. Corporeal punishment seems like .....

The Increasing Use Of Street Drugs
Words: 784 - Pages: 3.... how wonderful this "life taking" addiction can be. When one is influencing another it is slightly forgotten how people on a daily basis die from doing drugs. Whether it kills you or not, the drug users don't think about how messed up their brain and body can get when just trying drugs. A common way that drug dealers rope in young people is by giving them drugs to try. It is after they like the drugs they come back to get more, only now they are charged for them. Now the drugs are no longer free and the dealers now have one more customer.
At a party or just with a friend, drugs can be found. Trying drugs to be cool is just how this .....

Legalization Of Drugs
Words: 1063 - Pages: 4.... fall to the level that exists in legal industries - zero (174).
The places where most of those shoot-outs occur, the inner city, would
change the most after the legalization of marijuana. A lot of the kids
there idolize drug dealers. They see a person with designer clothes, a
black Mercedes, gold chains, and big smile on their face. That drug dealer
seems like the most successful person in the neighborhood. It's very easy
to want to follow in the footsteps of someone like this. Legalization
would greatly reduce the profits of drug dealers. Kids would emulate the
people they're supposed to. These role models include teacher .....

drunk teens that drive are looking at getting their license provoked.
