DEATH PENALTY...

In our world , especially in our time, crime rates are increasing day by day. Everyday we are hearing some kind of news which are related to crimes or criminals. People are becoming more intolerant and commit more crimes. Of course they should be punished for what they do, but I think punishing should be done to stop them from commiting a crime. In that point some people assert that death penalty is the best solution to that problem, especially for people that kill other people. On the other hand, the other people think that death penalty can never be a solution. So it shouldn’t be mandatory for people that kill other people. I think similarly because at first everybody has right to live, secondly we would be like them if we punished them with deth penalty, finally we should have other possibilities other than that.

We all have the opportunity for living. So taking somebody’s life can’t be acceptible in any case. *Death penalty violates living right and prisoners expose to cruel, inhuman actions. This is also against the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.* Of course killing someone is a really big crime. Nobody has this right. Such a criminal should certainly be punished. In that case what we should do is trying to show them correct way but punishing them with death penalty can’t teach them anything. This can’t give them any chance to pick the correct way. In other words, this can’t be a solution. It can be a kind of escape from the reality because in real sense there is still “crime”. That is, only one visible problem disappears from the world but real problem stays forever! So I can again say that nobody has the right to take a person’s life even if he/she is a really dangerous criminal..

Let’s think about the death penalty issue more deeply. *Killers kill guiltless people. Of course there is no question on that issue but does this mean that we have the right to kill these killers? * We want to stop them from commiting this crime but we are commiting the same crime while we are trying to stop them. I can’t understand this. I can’t accept the notion that death penalty is a necessity in some situations. This is very nonsense, to me. While we are doing the same thing with these criminals, how can we hope that we will exterminate such kind of crimes. I don’t think this is a solution, rather it is a kind of bigger problem. So I think we shouldn’t be like them, we shouldn’t be such criminals via relying on death penalty.

In some cases, it can be seen the only possible action for that kind of big crimes but actually it isn’t. Of course we have other possibilities rather than death penalty to punish or in one sense to stop these people. I said formerly also, our goal shouldn’t be disposing of one criminal. Death penalty can only be used for this purpose. Our goal should include more elaborate and specific opinions about the issue of reducing the crime rates. Because we all want to live in a really safe environment and this only can be via reducing or maybe impossible but totally getting rid of crimes. So people who are responsible for punishing those criminals should think more logically on that issue. They can find other more acceptible ways to stop these criminals.

Finally I want to say the notion that we can punish people with death penalty is really unacceptible. Every person who can think logically can’t accept this barbaric opinion, killing person whomever he/she is..

I showed with * the paraphrase sentences. The real sentences are below and you can see the real source on that web page: http://www.echeat.com/essay.php?t=2666

Killers kill innocent people, there is no question about that, but does that give us the right to kill these killers? I do not think so.
The death penalty violates the right to life, and subjects the prisoner to the ultimate form of cruel, inhumane or degrading punishment which goes against the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
