This paper follows the classical method of persuasion in a call for the reinstitution of the death penalty into modern-day justice systems. The paper argues that the death penalty not only stands as a deterrent in the minds of those who would break the law, but it reduces crime and, at the same time, reinforces the value of human life.
From the Paper:
"Kill the Death Penalty, that is. Although it has been an underlying part of the moral system of all civilizations for thousands of years, only recently have its ethics and justice been called into question. Capital punishment has become a much debated issue in current social and political circles; there are many active Abolitionist groups, all with one aim - to abolish the Death Penalty. But in this age of moral decay and increasing crime, it needs more than ever to be reestablished."
