The political spectrum is a system used to help classify different political positions upon one or more geometric axes that symbolize independent political dimensions. Like most people I have to decide on which spot in the political spectrum I fall in. I would say that I fall in the liberal/moderate part in the political spectrum because in some situations I am willing to change and open to other people’s opinion to abandon traditional values, but in other situations I would prefer to be in the…

The Death Penalty is an undesirable last-resort punishment in our society. The constitution, Semon Frank Thompson, and Ernie Chambers All have similar evidence supporting these reasons. The Death Penalty is wrong because it causes moral, and constitutional and irreversible mistakes in society. The Death Penalty goes against the eighth amendment of the Constitution. The Constitution states,” Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments…

Death Penalty was a subject that peaked my interest and a topic I have always felt strongly in favor of. I wanted to educate myself a bit more and dive deeper into the subject by choosing it to do this paper. Currently in the United States as of November 9, 2016, thirty-one states use the death penalty. While 13 states do not use the death penalty, and four states have a gubernatorial moratoria. A gubernatorial moratoria means that “A suspension of activity or an authorized period of delay or…

him friends and family. Which was something he longed for since he was alone. It is also, hard for children to live on their own because parents guide them through their childhood. Therefore these are my reasons why child soldiers should be given amnesty. Child soldiers are manipulated, damaged by the killings they have seen, and they aren’t given many choices. We should try to make the world a better place for all the children who are hurt by wars and are influenced to kill. These children have…

There is a thin line between torture, coercion, and persuasion. For some countries, torture is an adequate form of punishment used to not only instill fear, but to also show the consequences of prohibited actions to others. However, for the United States and other countries who have signed the Geneva Convention, torture is strictly prohibited, but is still practiced in different forms. The article “The Dark Art of Interrogation,” written by Mark Bowden, explores various interrogation techniques…

Georgia pizza shop owner by shooting him in the head. Mobley’s attorneys tried to get his death sentence reduced to life in prison by pointing out that his family consisted of a long line of criminals and that Mobley had inherited the genetic strain of violent behavior. They claimed that he was genetically unable to control his violent impulses and should not be held responsible for his crimes, but his genetic impairment defense failed and his death sentence stood.

In the criminal justice system, there are different ways court judges choose criminal punishment. The choices escalated from parole, prison sentence, and capital punishment. In any case, the death penalty is not addressed on a coherent point of view alone because it conveys emotions, morals, and religious components. The death penalty is accepted to seize assist wrongdoing that the criminal may carry out a wrongdoing later on. Which is argued that it gets lawbreakers free too easy and some…

Today, more youths are involved in gangs, murders, and assaults than history has shown. So, if these children are capable of committing adult crimes, shouldn’t they face adult consequences? It seems that the severity of juvenile crime has risen so much, that it is hard to distinct it from adult crimes. On the other hand, most adult offenders we find today, who commit murder or assault are not first time offenders. The unfortunate thing is that a survey given by the Pretrial Services Resource…

Should the UK bring back the death penalty? The death penalty has always been very important in many first world countries, and cities. Its implementation has been regarded as a necessary punishment for criminals that have done something unforgivable or done something against the law; for example, killing has always been the main example of a crime that people have been sentenced to death for. The US, China and Saudi Arabia countries where world leaders have authority, still use the death…

Over the years, the human population has struggled over many moral dilemma such as human values and life decisions. The debate of torture is one of the many moral dilemmas. Some say torture is a human right violation, but others say it is necessary for the humanity. Torture has been used since the medieval age to extract information or for punishment to a person. In that time era torture was not a decision of right and wrong but a necessity of doing what is needed to survive in a harsh world.…
