Decapitation

stop serial murders from continuing to kill because even in prison they can still commit those crimes. The main reason we as a society punish people for committing crimes is to prevent more future crimes. Punishment for crimes has changed from decapitation and hanging people to incarceration and lethal injections. I believe that the best punishment for crime is to spend the rest of the person’s life locked away from humanity and civilization in a highly secured…

In this paper I have presented both an argument in favor of the death penalty and against the death penalty. To start with there is a brief history of capital punishment including some important legal cases. Many arguments can be made as to the morality of execution, below I describe the deterrent effects as well as a common view held by Immanuel Kant in support of capital punishment. Both of these views are shared by many people. In opposition to capital punishment I have considered the…

While some animals are kept for other tests, others must be euthanized. Two quick methods often used to kill small animals are breaking their spines and decapitation (“Cosmetics Tests”). With this information, the audience can see that animals are not always given a quick death after cosmetic testing. This information causes my argument to become biased since it does not examine what happens to the animals…

cosmetics and household products since the 19th century. Since that time there have been more than 100 million animal deaths each year and millions more are commonly subjected to force feeding, prolonged periods of physical restraint, neck breaking and decapitation due to animal experimentations (PETA 3). Even after recognition that animal testing seldom provides accurate results in human beings, the torture and speciesism continues. The suffering of animals caused by biomedical and cosmetic…

The practice of human sacrifice was a very prevalent in the ancient cultures of the Mesoamerican region. While practiced by smaller civilizations, the Aztec empire’s aggressive use of sacrifice was romanticized in movies, books, and other mediums. Before the Aztec empire’s height in 1427, historians speculate that the natives practiced sacrifice only in small quantities. The Aztecs dominated the Mexican region in culture for the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. After the arrival of the Spanish…

The organization DoSomething.org currently has a campaign Kidnapped Cosmetics, which encourages young people around the world to steal their friends cosmetics (Kidnapped Cosmetics 1). The campaign is not promoting young people to become felons. The reasoning behind this amazing organization’s campaign is to raise awareness for animal testing. The problem, as they state on their website, is “over 100 million animals are burned, crippled, poisoned, and abused in US labs every year.” In order to…

Method Bean plants (Phaseolus vulgaris) were provided by the instructor for the experiment at Mount Royal University. There were four or more bean plants in each of the four pots. The first task was to choose the best three plants in each pot based on whether they had two big healthy leaves and so the three plants looked relatively similar. The excess plants were cut out so that each of the four pots contained three plants, making a total of twelve plants. Each of the four represented a…

Violence is Entertainment Most people who think of the slasher film, think of terrible acting, terrible plots, with terrible characters, that are made for consumption by gullible teenagers. In fact, these films, often referred to by the derogatory term, slasher flicks, are never taken quite seriously. There are only two reviews on Roger Ebert’s website for Friday the 13th. From a total of 12 films released in the franchise, featuring mass murdering shenanigans, he reviews two of them. He…

Antisocial Personality Disorder, what do you think about when you see this group of words? Most people, like myself, think of someone who’s lonely or sad, and while this is slightly true there is still so much more to this disorder. There is so much to learn about general personality disorders and antisocial personality disorders such as the warning signs, the causes, the treatments and whom this illness mostly affects. An antisocial personality disorder is only one type of personality…

to denote how China is much less dependent on the trade relationship than England, as well as an appeal to the benevolence of the Queen. The part of the letter warning of the consequences of bringing opium to China, “...the penalty is fixed at decapitation or strangulation.”(CH) was a very stern warning to the British. However, this was not enough to deter the British who believed they had the right to sell opium, and the Opium Wars ensued. This resulted in the Nanjing Treaty, England being…
