Argument writing

For the past term we have been focosing on writing a quality argument. Here is mine, it is about the death penlty.

Should we have the death penalty?

I believe that no country should have the death penalty because taking ones
life is usually just as bad as the crime itself. What happened to the saying
“all lives are sacred”. If someone kills someone they should be prepared for
a life sentence in jail, not death.

If killing someone is a crime then the death penalty should be one too. People
do stupid things, but if they are killed by the death penalty they will never
learn, never have sympathy for the one they killed. Maybe living with the
thought that you have killed someone is worse than death itself.

The saying “all lives are sacred” does not add up to the penalty. If one's life
is taken should we then take the life of another? two wrongs don’t make a
right. A total of 25 death row inmates were executed in the United States
in 2018! That’s only in 2018!

I think that a life long jail sentence is enough for a really bad crime.
Usually after people comit a bad crime they then comit suicide after. So a
death penalty is just an exuse to escape from the world without any pain.

The death penalty should be banned in all countries from now on. It is
definitely not good because taking one's life because of a crime is just not
OK, even if they murdered someone.
