Death penalty...

Nowadays , death penalty is very controversial. It is an issue that not everybody wants to speak about because it carries a lot of ethical problems, but today I will talk about it anyway.

Considering the type of laws we have, I think that justice in Chile doesn't punish people as it should. I think it cares too much about "human rights" and maybe that's why offenders don't go to jail and still causing problems on the streets...So I support death penalty.

It's really strange what I think about this. Although I support death penalty, I also think that death ( at least for me) is like a present, so people in jail really doesn't deserve to die, because it's too easy...I mean, it's like an easy way to scape to the consequences, so, in my opinion, there must be another way to punish.

Maybe this might sound very tough, but let's be honest...Most of people in jail will never be rehabilitated, because they don't want to. They go out of jail and in a week they're killing and stealing again.

I have to consider that most of the countries that uses death penalty are not the most developed ones, and human rights are not considered, but extremes are not good at all.

In conclusíon, I support death penalty, but just because I think that justice in Chile is not doing a good job...and the most important argument of all is that people in jail never thought about people's life when they did whatever they did..so why do we have to think on their life? It's not fair...

    Vicky,
    very interesting point of view... now, I agree with you that it's a very complex topic because the opinions are completely different right?
    good writing!
