    In China there are currently 500,000 people being detained without charge or trial. China also holds the most executions out of any country in the world.

    Why is the death penalty still around? Capital punishment is the legal killing of an individual as a consequence of an unlawful act they commit. The death penalty has had an increased resentment but has not been abolished largely due to the belief that it is a deterrent to violent crime. There are a myriad of reasons why this punishment is looked down upon in society mainly structured on the argument that it is ineffective and paradoxical in the way it serves justice. The death penalty is…

Guilt can have the most devastating side effects, and will haunt the person head to toe for eternity. The force of guilt is portrayed perceptibly in both of these passages. “The Tell Tale Heart” by Edgar Allan Poe is a short story about a man with very sensitive hearing. There is an old man, whom he has nothing against but his eye, that he decides to kill. He must live with the…

    Frank Darabont’s film, The Green Mile, shows great examples of compassion and empathy, being corrupted by power, and how the death penalty can have many negative affects on the people performing it and those related to the sentenced individual.

    It is well known worldwide and in our country of the United States of America that if a civilian commits an act of crime, there will be a consequence to pay. The type of crime that a civilian commit will determine the type of consequence the civilian will have to pay. Most of the consequences here in the United States are tolerable, either by being punished in prison, pay a fine, or the worst one being the death penalty.

    Systematic Denial of Human Rights The fire moved quickly through the house, a one-story wood-frame structure in Corsicana Texas. Flames spread along the walls, plunging through doorways, blistering paint and tiles, and blackening furniture. Smoke pressed against the ceiling, seeping through each room and every window crevice, billowing into the morning sky. Inside the house, children screaming “Daddy, Daddy!” and neighbors lining the streets to watch the commotion. The fire deemed a triple…

    Historically, human rights violations began when Cain killed his brother Abel and violated his right to have a life. Therefore, humans agreed that a murder without guilt is a kind of human right’s abuse. Also, there are many examples in history of human rights violations, such as prisoners’ torture after the war ended, the slave bazaars, and arbitrary executions.

    My persuasive essay is about the death penalty. I do not think that the death penalty should be allowed in the United States because of the fact it cost a lot of money and our government cannot afford to spend thousands and millions of dollars to harm another human being. And if we have a death penalty what if that person who was sentenced to death and already died was innocent for that crime. For instance there was a colored man in jail for armed robbery and let’s say he was protecting the…
