Upon admitting guilt, the death penalty is reasonable.

Crime and punishment to me like the author are two different things. In my opinion crime is in action something that is committed by breaking a law and that is not expected by the society. Punishment in my opinion is when you know your action was wrong and you know that there will be a consequence in the end. However they are both in the same meaning. Like the author said "an eye for an eye" with out the crime there would be no punishment. So with one eye you wouldn't be able to tell weather the prisoner should receive the punishment for the crime. What happens when the person knows that they are guilty? Shall they still receive the punishment? Justice…what to think when this is heard? We have been taught good from bad, but they only want to teach us what is wrong in areas that suits the government in there own good. Of course that they wouldn't like justice for the victim, but what is the justice for them self? We ask our self's questions everyday? Do you ever wonder what its like to tell someone that they are on death row? Is it hard for them to focus do they wish they could help? No answers are ever answered. Is what they call Justice? In October of 2009 I attended Purdue university where the Department of Communication where Amy Patterson Neubert shared her perspectives in TV and how it opens the minds of millions around the world to create criminal actions. "Many people die as a result of being murdered in these types of shows, and we found the heavy TV-crime viewers estimated two and a half times more real-world deaths due to murder than non-viewers," Sarapin a doctoral student in communications says. "People's perceptions also were distorted in regards to a number of other serious crimes. Heavy TV-crime viewers consistently overestimated the frequency of crime in the real world. " MY OPPONENT "believes that blaming ones problems on the media is what he calls an "excuse". Sometimes it is easier to find excuses, then to accept responsibility. The leading point, is that everyone has the ability to make a choice. Whether not that choice is a good one or a bad one, there is always going to be a consequence. By blaming ones choices on the media, the said person does not claim responsibility. " Those that have committed a crime is due to the home environment that they lived in as a child and young adult. They were never given the support or encouragement and their only way out was through violence and maybe hurting others. Do you honestly think that these men/women wake up one day and plan this? The environment that they grow up in has a lot to do with where they are now. Many don't take that in to consideration. HEARTBERAK in a child's eye is what you consider to be null? This doesn't have to be null they government has the choice in weather they shall live or not. MY OPPONENT " LOL, you can't support a family in when your in prison. HAHAHA your so cute. But just for fun, what type of work could a life sentenced prisoner actually do inside the prison? They are limited in the actual things they are privileged to do. They are not even privileged to make drivers licences like those with short terms can, because they can be used to make weapons. Most of them spend there time in solitary confinement there whole life. " Now no offense to my opponent, but my cuteness in my speech is not part of this debate. Now getting back at the real topic jobs that can be involve in the penitentiaries can consist of cooks, maintenance crew. Why shall the government danger other civilians if what they want is to protect themselves and those around them form what they consider to be the bad people of society? I still think that they can be changed if they were shown how. If they had just been taught the good from bad. There can be a second chance for them in life as well as their family. Murder or rape is a crime but I don't thing that they shall be given death. One they government lets them back out some even living near schools or daycare's. Isn't the job of the government to inform the public of these here dangerous men/women their job? Why haven't actions been taken to better prevent this?
