Capital Punishment

      Capital punishment is a very controversial subject today. Many argue that if a person commits a murder that they should pay the price and the murderer should be put to death. Capital punishment is nothing new as it has been used for hundreds of years and though it is now banned in countries around the worlds, there are still a multitude of countries around the world that allow capital punishment. The question is, should people be put to death for a murder?

       People believe that capital punishment should be allowed because if one committed a murder, should they not be killed? A murderer should not have the right to walk or live by any means because whatever they did to someone, they should receive the same punishment. People throughout the world will certainly agree on a "fair" punishment. What goes around comes around. Some people may have a motive behind the killing(s), but it should never result in a death of someone. Whether they are dangerous or innocent, they should not be killed by the public as it could result in the murderer's life.

      Those who are not believing capital punishment should result in death have their sides too. Those believe that capital punishment should not result in death because those murderers could live with what they have done with the rest of their lives. Those who do believe that not killing the murderer after their crime so they can be psychologically and mentally punished, which could really be a true punishment.


      Though it can be argued either way, the capital punishment will be remaining in the United States for the moment. It may be revised in several years, but for now it will remain a controversial subject to all. My personal thoughts is that they should be put to death because it should not be allowed for one to essentially walk again with a murder.
