Argument essay: Capital punishment

The death punishment is a very controversial issue. Many people have different opinions about how a criminal should be punished. I’m going to write an argument essay.

There are many different reasons for the death penalty. The following are the most frequently cited arguments for the death penalty. Some believe that those who kill deserve to die. When someone takes another person's life, they forfeit or sacrifice their own right to live. Murder is one of the worst crimes a person can commit and it deserves the worst penalty. The death penalty is the greatest deterrent to murder. If people know that they will be punished by death, they will be less likely to commit crimes and kill.

There are many different reasons against the death penalty which are just as strong. Two wrongs do not make a right. How many times have children heard that from their parents? Adults should follow their own advice. Murder is murder and it is wrong no matter what, even if it is legal. In the civilized society that we live in, is the notion of "an eye for an eye" acceptable? Should the punishment for a rape, be another rape? Or for arson, should we burn down their house? One of the government's jobs is to protect its citizens, but there are other ways to do it without killing.

In this essay there are many reasons pro and con but in my opinion the best way is capital punishment for the serious crimes, jail for the rest.
