THE DEATH PENALTY

The death penalty has been used by some countries as Cuba, United States… It is a practice that kills people who have committed a terrible crime. So, it has opened a discussion.

On the one hand, there are people who are for the death penalty. Despite killing a person, they give some arguments in favor. Firstly, it gives comfort to the victim’s families who have suffered so much. Secondly, criminals are more frightened and justice is better served. Thirdly, people who are for the death penalty, think that eye for an eye is fair.

However, there are people who are against the death penalty. They give some arguments as it is a bad practice that doesn’t serve. Also, it sends the wrong message (why kill people who kill people to show killing is wrong). Furthermore, it doesn’t bring the victim back to life.

On balance, there are more arguments against the death penalty. However, some countries are using it at this moment. In my opinion, it’s a bad practice because you kill a person who had done the same previously and this criminal could change in the future.
