Answer 2

first look up people who have been given the death penalty. that way you can fully understand why you support it and then start off with the wort guy and say something like this man/woman was once loose on the streets of "blah blah" and did such and such. due to the crimes that they have committed and the pain that they have caused society, i support the death penalty. then talk about other cases but also mention how one innocent has been given the death penalty but how its the judicial systems fault and not the fault of the death penalty. discuss how the aclu is fighting to make it less painful and how these people deserve worse and more pain as they have caused this much pain. just go from there. hope it helps

Answer 3

We did this about a month ago on debating. My friend chose this topic for her 5 pg. essay. First begin with in the past, and now. My english teacher taught us that. He would demand it. Following that, The thesis should open with good points about the death penalty. Never, ever, state that is your opinion, instead give voice to the other people. This will make it more powerful. For your thesis statement you can go like...The death penalty would punish the criminals for what they have done, and exc. Or something like that. Use atleast 2 points. Go online, there are many websites that support the death penalty.

As soon as you finish stating your thesis, move straight to hard and statistic facts, such as the exact number of prisoners on death row and how much money prisoners use on life sentence, and how much money it would use on the death penalty.

Here are some points that you might use (however, shape them to your advantage, use manipulation skills!)

-the death sentence would justify the victims of the violent crimes that the prisoner has done.

-it would give space to new incoming prisoners (as you've probably heard, the prisons are currently somewhat overcrowded).

-hmm. use statistics since i can't exactly think up anything at this moment.

Anyways, you want to draw light onto the the debate as much as possible. Point out the arguments that the opposing team would normally use. Since I was for the death penalty, but later changed  to against, I can shed some light.

They might say:

the death penalty is a long and slow process that takes up money from the people, and can be completely wasteful.

There really isn't any need for it, the prisoners get an easy way out, and the victim's family doesn't really get justice because they do not suffer as much pain as a prisoner on life sentence.

Apparently, there is a strong rate of prisoners being executed for the wrong crime. And some even require more money to be on to endless path to death. This costs more than someone on life sentence.

Finally, for your conclusion, stay strong on your argument, but back off slightly. I'm not sayingt this...I'm saying this.

Now, review. Make sure it is double spaced!

Answer 4

I am for the death penalty.

You should start with some nice hard statistics to set a tone for the subject and pick them apart later in.
