Morality of the death penality
The death penalty has always been a controversial subject in every country where it is being practiced .Looking at it here in America is no different .People are always going to be divided in to two sides on the subject. You are either for it or against it. It can be argued that humans are in no position and have no justifiable right, to decide on the matter if another human is to die, based on their actions. However, other people that are in favor of the death penalty would argue that those receiving this extreme verdict are deserving of it and the world would be much better off without those on death row living in it. Both sides make serious arguments when it comes to who is right and who is wrong in terms of the death penalty. The death penality is not the way to go In my opinin though.
First you should know a little about the history of the death penalty to fully understand why people feel the way they do about the it. Almost all nations in the world have had the death sentence and had enforced it in many ways. It was used in most cases to punish those who broke the laws or standards that were expected of them. “Some of the historical methods of execution were restricted only by one’s imagination-they include flaying or burying alive, boiling in oil, crushing beneath the wheels of vehicles or the feet of elephants, throwing to wild beasts, forcing combat in the arena, blowing from the mouth of a cannon, impaling, piercing with javelins, starving to death, poisoning, strangling, suffocating, drowning, shooting, beheading, and more recently, electrocuting, using the gas chamber, and giving lethal injection “(Silverman 73). Ancient societies had some pretty brutal methods that were just inhumane. Fortunately, most of the practices were largely unknown in Anglo-American tradition. “America inherited most of its capital punishment from the United Kingdom or English laws., But not so many generations ago, in both England
