Capital Punishment Two Wrongs Make A Right
983 wordsWe teach the children only the highest of our ideals, the most virtuous of our values. An integral part of our code of chivalry is Immanuel Kant's Golden Rule: Do as you would be done by.

This is a beckoning to us, the people of the village who will raise the child, to illustrate our words, to show that the Golden Rule isnt just an empty clich. Such crimes as...

Death Row Inmates Inmates On Death Row
932 wordsDeath by execution has existed as a punishment since the dawn of time. Yet although this has existed seemingly forever, the question of its morality has also existed for that same amount of time. Killers kill innocent people, there is no question about that, but does that give us the right to kill these killers? I do not think so. Racism is often the driving force behind crime.
