Topic: The death penalty should be abolished
General Purpose: To persuade.
Specific Purpose: To persuade my audience that The death penalty should be abolished.
Introduction
Attention Getter: Mahatma Gandhi said a great quote "An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind." If one commits a crime and the punishment for that crime is death, it is never desirable.
Reason to Listen: If it is a crime to kill someone, then why is the death penalty not a crime?
Credibility Statement: The death penalty violates human rights. Every human has the right to his own independent life. The death penalty punishment to humans is injustice. In today's speech, I will show why the death penalty should end and that it is a flawed injustice.
Thesis Statement: The death penalty should be abolished; we must discuss this issue with everyone and understand the matter.
Preview of Main Points:
- First, I will describe why The death penalty should be abolished.
- Then, I will give examples of how The death penalty should be abolished.
- Finally, I will present a differentiating explanation of why The death penalty should be abolished.
Body
We may think that if there is a provision for the death penalty, criminal activity will decrease in society. Terrorists are less likely to commit crimes because they are afraid of committing crimes. Another advantage of the death penalty is that the affected family will not be involved again. This will reduce the number of future crimes committed by the same person.
Transition
But on the other hand death penalty has many disadvantages. This death penalty violates human rights when implemented. The big problem with the death penalty is that this injustice can victimize even an innocent person. He could not be brought back if it was later proven that the man was innocent. Who will take responsibility for this injustice? There are many examples of such situations. So what will be the punishment for those involved in this death penalty? If killing someone is a criminal activity, I think the death penalty is also illegal.
The terrible problem with the death penalty is that this kind of injustice started as a revenge of politics. In many countries, the death penalty is used to reduce the power of political opponents. It's a terrible downside, actually killing someone by capital punishment can never be the solution.
Again you can think of the situation in a different way. What will happen to their family after the death of a person? A family also bears this responsibility, even though they have not committed any criminal activity. I finally think we are human, so we should act like humans. We do not deserve to be treated like animals.
Conclusion
Review of main points:
- So, the Death penalty is hypocritical and flawed.
- The death penalty violates human rights when implemented.
Restate Thesis: A death penalty is a form of injustice, and innocent people can also be affected by it for political interests.
Closure: I have tried to show how the death penalty should be abolished. After knowing these things, I hope you understand why the death penalty should be abolished.
