I found that my views changed and even though I might have been for the death penalty at the beginning, after my research I found that the death penalty is nothing more than the government reminding everyone that in the end, they have the final say. There was one question, however, that we had to debate about what the best answer really was. There were three options that were available for this question, we could either immediately legalize euthanasia, which could put people out of their suffering.
The second choice was that we could entertain the though of legalizing it, and start to research euthanasia more to see how it could benefit hospitals.
Finally, we could keep assisted suicide at its current status and say it is still illegal. In a different article another author explained the views of gun advocates.
In this statement Frum expresses the views of only some gun advocates, but Frum speaks as though this statement is true for all of them. In these articles authors are depending on their own facts and emotions to use pathos to intrigue…. Barack Obama wants to make this country safer by taking away guns, but the NRA believes there are other ways to protect American citizens without taking away their rights.
He can take that up with Madison and Jefferson and the fellows that framed it. If he wants to have a discussion on how to stop mass killings, I would be thrilled to have that conversation with him. One of the points that should be recognized in this amendment is the right of individuals to share their thoughts online with the same discretion as the media.
The media often elaborates on the truth and publishes embellishments or false accusations, but the extent to which these publications are believed is up to the viewer. Individuals should be awarded these same liberties on social media, but this does not mean that everything they say will be acceptable.
Either way, executions should be televised because it will restart the debate. The only thing we have to fear is. A lack of rational fear. Even if a shooter thinks he is going to die at the scene, It seems likely he has played an untold number of video games where death is temporary, And pain is nonexistent.
Desensitization has occurred, rational fear of punishment is lost. Televising death row executions should be televised because it shows criminal justice. Why is the point of keeping horrid criminals alive?
We have to continue feeding them, care for them, and shelter them. And what did they do for others? By showing the death row executions on TV, it imitates others to not do any horrid acts, as the results are shown on TV.
Who cares about shielding those from death row from the embarrassment and horror of a public execution? Were their victims spared? Also who cares if their death is inhumane, i'm fairly sure they werent thinking of being humane when they were murdering their victims. Also why should they be given a last meal of their choice? I think they should televise executions because it might stop most of the crime that's going on.
If some sees another human being getting killed for doing something their thinking about doing it might stop a lot of crime but it'd be very interesting to see, that's what I think personally.
It's often been said by many on the anti-capital punishment bench that if every pro-execution individual could be made to view an electrocution in person that the death penalty would disappear overnight. I don't know if that would actually be true, however if we were to televise executions perhaps we would see a significant drop in support for this form of "justice".
Let the pro-death Americans see what it is that they are paying for and voting for. If it turns out that capital punishment is something that they find to be too gruesome to watch, then maybe they shouldn't be supporting it and ought to rethink their positions. If we as people of the united states actually see what is happening in that room then the government is held significantly less accountable for a botched execution.
Sure the people who end up on death row have done horrible things and they deserve to be there. But no one deserves to die a painful and prolonged death that is seen more as a medical treatment then a punishment. Televising executions would make us less barbaric because the people of this country can see when prisoners are subjected to the form of torture known as a "botched" execution.
And with recent polls finding that the American public is increasingly ambivalent about the death penalty, some activists feel it is time people got a firsthand look. It's a statement by the community that this is what they want," Richard Dietzer, the executive director of the Death Penalty Information Center, told The Columbus Dispatch in regard to a request by Ohio Statehouse reporters to be granted access to the execution of Wilford Berry Jr.
The more people know about the death penalty, the better they're going to be able to judge it. The whole process is carried out in the people's name, and they should know if those acting in their name are doing it carefully and humanely. Paul Leighton, an assistant professor of sociology, anthropology and criminology at Eastern Michigan University who has written extensively about the death penalty and the question of whether executions should be public, said he believes people have the right to see them, but questioned how much of the interest is prurient.
Prejean, who became famous after her book Dead Man Walking was made into a movie starring Sean Penn and Susan Sarandon, believes that if people saw criminals being put to death, opposition to executions would grow. It hasn't done anything to restore the life of their loved one.
