Death penalty
The death penalty, or capital punishment is one of the most controversial topics in the world nowadays, is the maximum punishment that can be imposed to a person that had been an illegal conduct with which he harms to third this is given to a person who is convicted of serious crimes such as murder, treason, and terrorism. Still he is not legalized as a constitutional norm in the whole world but already this being used by places for example Thirty-eight states in America including, New York, practices, “In most places that practice capital punishment today, the death penalty is reserved as a punishment for certain murders, espionage, or treason or part of military justice. In some majority-Muslim countries, certain sexual crimes, including adultery and sodomy, carry the death penalty. In many countries, drug trafficking is also a capital offense. In China, human trafficking and serious cases of corruption are also punished by the death penalty. In militaries around the world, courts-martial have sentenced capital punishments also for cowardice, desertion, insubordination, and mutiny”
this form of punishment which has formed a subject of debate for many years it tries to end with the life of a Delinquents that affects irreparably the integrity or the life of someone that does not deserve it
In the ancient epoch the death penalty was very common between the Roman citizens for the same that now, like a punishment but in that case do not import the gravity of the crime the persons was Tortured before died, but in that epoch was very acceptable, that was the solution in that time, we lived under a Dictatorship of a monarch and we were ignorant opposite to the democracy and the respect to the rights that supposedly exists today in day
But although of that they say that we have evolved and improved with the time every time we live in a world more corrupt we insist in think in impose a death penalty, the life never is going to be in the hands of another human being, we are not who decide if we have finished our mission in the earth, if god give us the life is only he who can remove them.
It is true that we are tired of killers, murderesses, defraud the news of detentions, assassinations, and other stories tragedies that show how destroyed is the society of today in day, But the death sentence is slightly unusual, It is not a question of excusing simply either a solution, this is not the best way to teach the people, this is a easy way to escape of the problem, is To take from him the opportunity to repent and do not knows the consequences of his conduct and to assume them, whit this you punish to those who it surround that are those who really suffer, “The death penalty is the ultimate cruel, inhuman and degrading punishment, It violates the right to life”.
Approve the death penalty Is show the young people ant the Childs that grow up seeing this that the life is not as important as really is, the death penalty is the bigger devaluation that can be given to the Life, that is not an object that you put or remove to someone when you want, if the idea is to teach the people and to punish someone exist neither a lot of ways not only this that is the cruel and inhumane taking of a human life. A life is a life and there can be no justification in taking a persons life in an act of revenge we can forget that the life is the most valuable that we have
