In Graph JM2-17, the cosine curve for both is very similar. Both months/graphs start out at a very minimal percent illumination of the moon, reaching peak illumination around the 12th and 13th day of the months. They also both reach the point of no illumination on the exact same day of the month, the 28th. These patterns follow that of the lunar month. The differences are that the month of March takes about one day longer to reach 100% than that of January, which is still in line with the patterns of the lunar month.…

We kill people who kill because killing is wrong. This is the idea some states use when people question their use of the death penalty, the execution of someone who has committed a capital offense. The debate over the death penalty is still alive and well, and those against it often use this argument to show just how absurd the death penalty is. Should those who have committed unspeakable crimes be sentenced to death, or is it better to sentence them to life without the possibility of parole, especially when using the death penalty is more expensive and runs the risk of executing the innocent Forty two out of fifty states have the death penalty as a potential punishment when someone commits a capital crime.…
In fact, not everyone agree to impose the death penalty and there are the rest that are strictly against it. Furthermore, some would be for the death penalty giving that it was created to: deter people from crime, a punishment that fits the crime of murder, as well as to protect the society from individuals that behaves in such manner. On the flip side of that would be the people that are not for the death penalty. They concerns are valid likewise to those whom are for it. In fact some feel as though the death penalty is inhumane, unfair, only makes the murder rate increase (Schmalleger, & Smykla, 2014).…
In the novel that I, Taylor Barnes read, Crime and Punishment in America, the two authors David B.

Very few countries similar to the United States employ the death penalty as punishment for murder. The list of other countries that also apply the death penalty includes China, Iran, Saudi Arabia and Iraq. Needless to say, we are not keeping good company when it comes to the practice. Support for the death penalty became popular during the 1990’s, when crime was on the rise and politicians, in an effort to appear tough on crime, embraced policies such as the three-strike rule and minimum sentencing. Since that time, however, the political climate has changed, and the death penalty has frequently come under fire from both liberals and conservatives alike.…

For a majority of the country Capital Punishment is one of the best ways to punish a criminal.
