“A death penalty is the sentence of execution for murder and some other capital crimes (serious crimes, especially murder, which are punishable by death).
The death penalty, or capital punishment, may be prescribed by Congress or any state legislature for murder and other capital crimes (…)”
From my point of view, the death penalty is a medioeval measure from solution the problems about crimes. I don’t agree with the subjectivity that has this punishment, I read a little bit about the death penalty in internet and I found relevant the “arbitrariness” in this, especially in what it concerns to the racial disparities.
“Approximately 2% of known murderers are sentenced to death” in the United States, within 79% killed white people. It’s curious, because just the 50% of murders or crimes were made against them (we can see it in the graph).
By this I mean or I feel that the sentences take more importance when the crimes involve white people. I believe in equality before the law and in the human rights, so I’m not in favor of the death penalty, this kind of “eye for eye” doesn’t like me in absolute.It is sometimes argued that bad people deserve the death and killing them is the only solution. That’s a fallacy, I reckon that the guilty can change if he/she wants and the government can help giving support, of course with a good implementation and control in case that he/she wouldn´t have a recuperation. We can’t decide when people must die, in the world are other crimes that don’t involve blood and they are killing quietly to many people, like the medical experiments in Africa.
Blue -> Abolished for all crimes.
Green -> Abolished for crimes not committed in exceptional circumstances (such as crimes committed in time of war).
Orange -> Abolished in practice.
Red -> Legal form of punishment for certain offenses.
In this map, we can appreciate what countries have the death penalty like a solution. I am unconvinced about that, this is a practice with many years, and the murders continue. To be honest, I don’t think that the crimes are a thing that we can stop, it’s relate with the personality of the person and in many times this is out of our control, although the society influence in the thinking. For that, I believe in the rehabilitation of some people. The jail is a place that can function like punish instead of killing, that's a good social pact.

Cami,
well done I see you used the vocab we checked in class. Interesting arguments as well. The only thing you need to check is the way or order you express your ideas. I'll explain a bit further in class.
