THE DEATH PENALTY
The death penalty is a punishment imposed on a criminal by the authorities of a state and involves taking their life
There are still several countries that apply it, such as China and others. Modern methods of execution include firing squad, lethal injection, electric chair, hanging, stoning, or beheading. And better not to mention older methods, because I will upset your stomach even more.
I will not go through the process of listing the pros and cons. You have read them, discussed them, and written about them in school essays. I will mention, however, a sad phenomenon that prevails nowadays.
Very supposedly civilized people set up their own popular courts and wish the death penalty upon other people who have committed an offense that enrages them, such as rape, pedophilia, or abuse of an animal. You will see this very often under a post mentioning one of the above crimes, with phrases such as “death penalty without a second thought” or “I wish they would burn you alive.” And the saddest thing is that such comments are the majority.
No matter how serious the offense someone has committed is, and no matter how much it enrages us, we cannot so easily judge whether they deserve to be executed or not. Quite simply, because we do not know the value of a human life, and therefore we cannot evaluate how fair that punishment itself is, even if the offense committed is murder. As we have seen, there is great difficulty in distinguishing what is ethical and what is not.
Science, mainly through sociology, psychology, and medicine, can help us to a great extent to better understand when we cause harm and point us toward ways to contribute to social well-being. Respecting the life of others may have a positive effect on our own success as well, because for the others, the other person may be you.
