※Best of the semester - 3 - Express an opinion 1

  In the high crime rate society, the punishments become crucial, and the issue whether the death penalty should be abolished or not is necessary to be discussed.  Although many people insist that death penalty ought to be abolished, I strongly believe that the punishment needs to be reserved because the penalty would deter people from committing crimes.  Some people think it harsh to serve a life in prison.  Nevertheless, the counterargument is that it makes criminals pay the ultimate price and sufferers could be appeased. In my opinion, this is the only way that the victims could be gratified.  In addition, no one can argue against the fact that if the penalty was reserved, the order in the society would be more peaceful because it rids society of menaces.  It is for all the above-mentioned reasons and more that I believe the death penalty should be reserved.
