You will use the discussion in your chapter reading to identify
reasons for and against. Be sure to include the answers to the
following questions:
1. What are three reasons in support of keeping the death penalty?
2. Of the three reasons you listed in 1, which do you believe is the strongest? Why?
3. What are three reasons for abolishing the death penalty?
4. Of the three reasons you listed in 3, which do you believe is the strongest? Why?
5. Ultimately, is the reasoning for or against the death penalty more persuasive? Discuss your answer.
If you choose to answer these questions as #1-5, be sure to
provide complete a complete discussion for each. You may also choose to
answer these in a short essay. We will have a weekly check-in assignment
that will allow you to share your thoughts with the class.
