Furthermore, when people say that Capital Punishment need to end, most think of
just the punishment that can be handed out in court, but what they don’t realise is
that it is much more than that. In recent years, many countries have stopped
using the Death Penalty, or so they say, while they do not actually have it as a
punishment for certain offences, countries like the United States of America, have
found ways to get around this particular issue. One of the most obvious examples
of this is the fact that members of the Police Force have permission to shoot-to-kill
upon sighting if they deem the situation dangerous. “Criminals do not die by the
hands of the law. They die by the hands of other men.” A rather straightforward
quote by George Bernard Shaw states, quite simply, that it is not the system of
government, or the law of the country that condemns these criminals to certain
death or even to severe and maybe permanent injury but individual human
beings, our thoughts, our passion, our defensive mechanisms and our instincts to
protect those we claim as our own, and harm those who we perceive as a threat.
All things considered, all versions of the Death Penalty need to be banned. This
can be seen here quite clearly as it goes against the basic Human rights, it is a
preposterous method used to control others and countries are going backwards in
time and bringing it back as it is still considered acceptable in some parts of the
world. Would you be able to sleep easily at night knowing that your daughter, your
son, your husband, your wife, your mum, your dad, your aunt, your uncle, your
niece, your nephew, your cousin were about to be killed, hunted with no chance of
survival for a crime? Come on Australia, you know it’s wrong! It’s time, time to do
something about it, time to stop turning a blind eye, time to stand together and
improve the world!!!
