Conclusion

Why does the death penalty still exist?

It is an unanswerable question for this one specific question and can cause so much confusion among one. Some pupils in the world believe that it is not the death penalty that is cruel, it is the victim for he had a choice, he was NOT forced to do whatever crime was committed however only very serious crimes is resulted into the death penalty, even minors are not forgiven.

The most possible answer is that the government of those countries that still has yet to abolish the death penalty would most likely think it was right, although some citizens from a certain country probably had absolutely no right to vote or decide as one whole country.

This punishment seems to be focused more on those with mental problems or an illness such as depression for the history of executions in America showed that most of them were mentally challenged or retarded.

Most people who do not support this punishment are usually somewhat close to adulthood or a bit ahead of it for it might be that they do not FULLY understand how life works and how murdering someone is a tragedy to those who are dear to him, such as his mother, father and siblings.

The death penalty could really still exist for just one purpose – to lower the crime rates, but has it really dropped these past 100 years or so and even if some criminals could really care less for even if it did not exist they were still willing to take whatever punishment was thrown at them for they mostly KNEW that of the consequences, they were most likely prepared to accept their fate for they had a choice from the beginning to do good or bad.

Therefore I believe that it does not matter if the death penalty existed or not although if I had to choose I would really want it to exist for it kills those who are willing to commit serious offences; it might make the society a better place.

However in order to challenge my ending statement what would happen to the people who killed the murderer, how would he feel for he has also become a killer. Would it mean he would also be executed for murder? Thus an endless chain is created. So is it really necessary to keep the death penalty and abolish the abolishment in order to make a better society.
