THE DEATH PENALTY
March 19, 2012
The issue that I chose to write about in my paper is the Death Penalty. The Death Penalty has been a serious issue that has recurrently caused so much conflict in our world today.

The debate for the death penalty is that the adversaries of capital punishment say it has no preventive influence on crime. They argue that it unmanly gives the government the power to take someone’s life, and prolong social fairness by unreasonably pursuing people of color. They argue that the reason they pursue people of color is because they do not have the funds to hire a good
