Running Head: COURSE PROJECT 2

Topic Selection

· State the topic chosen from the list or approved by the instructor

The topic I selected is capital punishment. The use of this form of punishment as a penalty for a crime is a constant debate topic. Bearing in mind that there are many reasons people commit crimes, for instance, it is a means of survival because of the conditions impoverished or one’s mental deviance reflection. Moreover, social act performance, which violates society’s law, is crime commitment, ranging from crimes like stealing milk packet to murder cases.

· State the specific issue you will explore

Should capital punishment be legal?

· For the stated issue, state three (3) aspects of the issue that you think will likely develop in your paper. Briefly state why you have chosen each aspect.

1. Effects on society. What actions does the court take after using capital punishment as a penalty for crime?

· This aspect will support my work since those who dig more profoundly on the legalization of the punishment focus on the causes leaving behind effects.

2. Human right. Why should one be denied due to life?

· I selected this aspect because concerning the human rights theory, everyone has a right to live, and the government, not the law, shouldn’t deny them.

3. Religion. Does religion support the legalization of capital punishment for criminals?

· I selected this aspect because the Islamic countries practice the sharia law that supports capital punishment. In the Bible, Genesis 9:6 stipulates, “Whoever sheds blood of man, by man shall his blood be shed,” hence a critical point.
