Some people believe that capital punishment should not be used. Others, however, argue that it should be allowed for the most serious crimes.
Discuss both views and give your opinion.
People have different perspectives about capital punishment either should not be used or should be allowed for some serious crimes like murder. In my opinion, capital punishment should not be used.
On the one hand, all people’s lives are precious even if it is one for criminals like murder. Because all the lives are valuable, murders deserve to die. However, if the victim kill that murder, the victim is no longer the victim and become criminal just like the one who is killed, and it also applies to the law. Even they are serious criminal, their life cannot be judge by other people including themselves. Moreover, they have to pay for their sin until they die naturally, not suicide. Also, innocent life can be killed by misunderstanding and it cannot come back even people know innocent.
On the other hand, the strong punishment is needed for serious crime like murder. There is phrase ‘an eyes for an eyes, a tooth for a tooth’. Murders took one’s life, their life deserves to be taken by capital punishment from the law. The victim can revenge to the murder with the same way that murder did to the victim. With this strong punishment, the crime could decrease because most people do not want to die.
In conclusion, it seems to me that capital punishment should not be used even to the serious criminals like murder because it only makes people same types of person with criminals covered with the word ‘price’ and innocent life can be taken.
