Question

Capital punishment is a relic of age when all punishment were savage and vindicated give for for this statement

Answer 1

MOTION: " We believe that capital punishment is not needed in a
civilised community."

Imagine yourself in a small, isolated cabin waiting to be led to your
execution. A small, scrawny man comes to collect you. Your whole life
rushes past you as you take your few, final footsteps to the execution
chamber.

This is the thought 7,000 people have experienced in the last 18
months. These people were executed cruelly by capital punishment in
countries all over the globe. 970 of these people were women and
children.Many of the accused, which are sentenced to death, are hanged. This method often does not kill the criminal straight away, but lets themdangle on the rope tied around their neck, until they die of
strangulation, slowly and painfully. Some criminals are stoned by the
public. This is when the criminal is tied to a wooden post, in the
centre of the town, and is stoned by people living in the town. In
some countries the size of the stones used is regulated so that pain
is maximised and the person does not die quickly. This shows just how
savage we have become. There are not many other things in this world
as inhumane as this punishment- capital punishment. There are
alternative punishments, though. These can be from life imprisonment
for major crimes such as murder, to community service and education
programs for minor crimes such as shoplifting.

There may be a brutalizing effect upon society by the carrying out of
executions. The killings are organised as a public event where even
children attend and are even sometimes encouraged to take part in the
murder of the criminal. It is no surprise that these children grow up
to become violent and savage-like. Their minds are fed with evilness
