Some people say that capital punishment should be introduced to Polish law. But is it harmonious with our morality? I try to answer this question by presenting both advantages and disadvantages .
Firstly, capital punishment is a good solution for our safety. We should not be afraid that some day the most dangerous criminal will be free. For example we do not have to live with the fear that men who killed our family some day will be back for us. Secondly, the oldest law in human history says "eye for an eye tooth for a tooth" so people who killed somone should be punished in the same way and this is fair. This argument says that the capital punishment is not a bad idea.
However this is a very controversial theme. First of all and the most important thing is that Poland is a Christian country and our religion is complete opposite to the capital punishment . The fifth commandment says " Thou shall not kill". God gave us life and only He can take it away. The last problem is a fact that somebody must kill this criminal so this human is a killer too.
In conclusion there are more disadvantages than advantages so in my opinion the capital punishment should never be introduced to our law. People should not have power to decide about life of somone else. It does not matter what kind of human we are, we have to follow the way of love and forgiveness.
I appreciate your effort in finding more or less popular arguments for and against the thesis. Good work!
ReplyDeleteBut how can I forgive someone who murdered my mother or father ...? I know it is very difficult to choose between life and death of the other peoples. Of course, capital punishment shouldn't be introduced for minor crimes like theft, kidnapping or burglary. These are very hard words but in my opinion serial killers and rapists deserve for this kind of punishment... Sory for that.
