write a debate in 150 - 200 words either for or against the motion: 'capital punishment should be abolished'.Give some points to help me.
Dear student,
The following question tests your creativity and should be attempted on your own. However, here are a few useful hints.
Refer to our website for the format of a debate.
- Capital punishment is never a good form of punishment.
- Capital punishment is wrong because nobody has the right to take the life of a person, not even a government institution.
- Mahatma Gandhi himself once said, "An eye for an eye only ends up making the whole world blind"
- Moreover this is completely hypocritical when we consider the fact that we, as a nation, pride ourselves in "ahimsa" and yet capital punishment is not banned in our country.
- Several countries around the world have banned capital punishment and India should follow this example as we are human beings, not barbaric animals.
- Life imprisonment gives the convict a chance to improve.
- Even if he/she doesn't improve, the public are still safe from him/her as long as they are in jail.
- If we truly believe that a convict must suffer, then capital punishment is not the answer as it only shortens this suffering.
- We must ask ourselves, what kind of an example are we setting to our children and our youth by openly allowing violence to exist, under the name of "justice".
Regards
