Should capital punishment be abolished? What is your opinion?
选项
答案
In recent years, an increasing number of people have begun to challenge against the existing practice of capital punishment, they argue that in a civilised and enlightened society, such a barbaric and cruel practice should be abolished. But, on the other side, there are also many people who strongly advocate the remaining of capital punishment, saying that the world would be in great chaos and full of blood and violence without death penalty. It is quite natural that people seldom reach a total agreement on such a long-running controversy. Those people who approve of the practice of death penalty hold that it is the best deterrent to crime. It will always remind would-be criminals that crime does not pay so that they will think twice before they commit a crime. The decline of heinous crime has a direct correlation with the implementation of capital punishment. Secondly, it serves a just reward for the heartless and merciless malefactors while a great spiritual comfort to the victim’s family. The third merit lies in that it is very economical to end the life of a person guilty of crimes for which even death is an insufficient punishment. The practice helps lessen the prison crowding and thus cuts down on government budget. Towards the same issue, many others who advocate the abolition, however, argue that in a highly modernised world, it is inhuman and barbaric to take away one’s life on any pretext. They believe in that life is precious and irreversible and that only God can take away one’s life. Moreover, capital punishment can not scare off the criminals. Up to now, there is no evidence showing the direct correlation between the practice and the declining incidence of felony. We should offer the offender a chance to mend his/her way and take over a new life. The criminals can be safely locked up in prisons and receive education through labour. Both sides of the argument have very strong feelings and sound reasons. After a thorough consideration, for my part, I am in favor of the former view that we should retain the time-honored catholicon to ensure a safe and comfortable living environment to all these law-abiding citizens. An old saying best expresses my attitude: "Mercy to the criminal may be cruelty to the people."
