I have two brothers, Adam and Andy. I am an avid golfer who enjoys sports and quiet times with my girlfriend Jeanne. I am also a huge fan of Hawk basketball. My research project was entitled Opinions on Capital Punishment. My research analyzed how opinions on capital punishment are formed.
Support seems to be grounded in one's values, rather than one's knowledge of the facts.
The prescribed facts play a minor role in helping to form one's opinion of capital punishment. Values such as whether an individual thinks capital punishment is, itself, murder is the major deciding factor on one's opinion. It is an extremely interesting topic in my opinion because although the available information seems to be against capital punishment, the American public wholeheartedly support its use.
