Upon reading A Tale of Two Cities, I found that the Guillotine was used to kill the aristocrats for their punishment of being ignorant and merciless to the poor. This is very similar to the death penalties that are inflicted on criminals for different crimes. I was wondering if executing criminals is a right judgment. If it is, then what difference does it make between the murderer and capital punishment?
Should capital punishment be used?

I believe it is necessary to execute criminals. If they are only punished to be in the jail for a certain number of time, then they will come out and probably do the same punishment again. To prevent this from happening, death penalty should be used.

Capital punishment should be used because it will be faster to remove criminals from world. This will make government to save money, people can save money, save resources for prisoners, and save space for prisoners.So criminals that committed huge crimes should get capital punishment.

I don't feel that capital punishment should be used. I read somewhere that around 1% of all the people sent to death row are innocent, and forensics and the justice system aren't an exact system so you can't know for sure if someone is innocent or guilty, and I feel that a 1% is still too great a number of innocents being sent to the grave.

I'm against death penalty, so I don't think capital punishment should be used. I think people deserve a second chance, they can change and be better individuals. They might have regretted what they;ve done.

I believe that it is something necessary because this is to show fear to criminals like a warning to stop their crimes or else they are going to have the same fate as those other people that already had their heads chopped off. This might be a slight chance that might help change the minds of people and allow them to have a second chance.

I don't think capital punishment should be used because it is brutal in nature and I believe imprisonment for life should be used instead. By using life sentence, criminals remorse for life for committing crime and thus gives more pain than death sentence, which occurs in short amount of time. Some might think that executions would make people to be afraid and not commit crimes, but fear of death does not stop people from committing crimes. It depends on how the criminal responds to capital punishment.

It should not be. One of my most basic beliefs is that one should not take away another's freedom and hope of being happy. I think that if I take one's life away. That means I have lost all hope on the criminal on repenting for his sins truly.

Honestly, I believe that capital punishment is not necessary. I believe that life sentence in prison is sufficient enough. No one has the right to kill another unless if it is absolutely necessary in order to protect one's own life. Otherwise, it should not be allowed. As long as those problematic individuals are locked away from the rest of society, no further problems would occur.

i think that the capital punishment should be used because it's right punishment for a criminal action. Also, it's threaten for people to not do those things. If the punishment is not big enough then people would do that all the time.

I believe there should be no capital punishment. We have no right over people's life. Who are we do decide on one's crime and death? Only God, if you are religious, and yourself can be responsible for your death. We have no right over everyone's life. Even if their crimes are so big, we cannot just kill them, deciding their fate. We were not even in the crime scene, victim or related to victim. We cannot just kill the criminal. It would be unfair. We can lock them in the jail forever or some sort. There are many other methods to punish them. Capital punishment is not necessary.

I think capital punishment is needed to some degree. Because innocent people can wrongly be accused and be executed, so the execution itself has to be used in obvious cases.

I think that a capital punishment is the most extreme form of punishment. It isn't necessarily always bad~ if one execution is necessary to protect the lives of many, then a capital punishment is worth it. The idea that killing a "criminal" it the same as murdering is absolutely silly. Capital punishment isn't meant to kill a person unjustly. Capital punishment and a murder is two completely different thing.

The capital punishment should not be used. I believe human has anything reasons or rights to end another's life.

I think dath penalty should be used in the real life and this could make peoeple afraid of the laws and justice. From here, we can know that in many developed country, peopel break the laws overa nd over just because the law is not crucial enough. As for me, death penalty should be used in the society.
