I'm part of a debate team at my school and I need some good pros and cons of capital punishment. My team is working against capital punishment but I need a good argument for both sides.


Answer
Pros:

-People who have wronged in the past are more likely to do so in the future, this creates closure for the victim/family/society, in that the person who is executed will not be actively perpetrating these crimes anymore. In effect they "don't get a chance to do it again".

-Many humans have an innate desire for revenge, which relates heavily to the above point, and execution generally satisfies part of that desire.

-Makes an example/can prevent crime. This is to say, other people who may have committed that crime in the future might think twice about it, knowing that they could face capital punishment.

-Saves taxpayer money and lightens the load for our overcrowded prison systems. It costs a lot to maintain someone in a prison cell. It seems unfair that we should have to pay to provide them food/water/shelter and in some cases luxuries like tv/exercise equipment/etc. that some of us can't even afford.

Cons:

-Sanctity of life. Think of the best reason for capital punishment. Murder, possibly? If we take away the cruelty often involved in the killings, murder is still generally a very solid reason for capital punishment. However, who, then, is fit to murder a man simply because HE murdered first? Life is sacred, and it is not our right to take it away as we wish, even if we think that it is what is "just". Murder is still a bad thing, even if the person you are committing it against committed bad deeds in the past.

-Where is the line? What constitutes worthiness of capital punishment. Certainly even if we had the right to take a life where it was just and right, we do not have the moral capability to decide when someone truly deserves it. Should we kill someone for stealing? kidnapping? What if they disable someone permanently? temporarily? What if they put someone in a coma? If they attempt murder but fail? How can we do this justly? We can't.

-Removal of possibility for redemption/rehabilitation. When executing a person, we certainly stop them from actively committing crimes in the future, but we also prevent them from rehabilitating themselves and becoming constructive parts of society. How can we kill a person, knowing that they could live the rest of their lives in the name of the greater good? What if we knew they would have developed a cure for cancer, would it still be right to kill them? Not knowing what the future holds, it is unjust to take it away from them.


Anyways -

Basically it's tough to argue for or against either without some context of morality, and where it comes from. Is morality innate? Are we really gifted to be able to choose between right and wrong? The strong tie with morality will then often bring religion into the debate. Religion, unfortunately, is both the strongest argument (if it's right, which we'll never know) and the weakest argument (if it's wrong, which we'll never know). Given that it is so easily debunked (i.e. you can't KNOW that, so you can't present it as a fact) you have to find alternate means.

The reasons for and against this are limitless, and these are really only some jumping points. Try doing some research and finding sites about the debates for and against this.

Talk to your parents, if you're old enough, please rent and watch The Life of David Gale. It's a great movie, and can really make you think. It contains many mature concepts and imagery, and would not be appropriate for younger viewers without parental consent.

May I have menâs attention? Which brand is watch do men want to wear?

Love my boyfriend very much. He is handsome and sexy, I want to send him a gift. Maybe a watch is his favor.


Answer
A few more additional details would help -- how old are you (and your boyfriend), what's your budget, what's his style etc?

Assuming you are a young person who cares mostly about the style, take a look at Fossil or Kenneth Cole watches -- they tend to make stylish watches for young folks that quite good looking, both digital and analog. And they also tend to be rather affordable (anywhere from $25 - $250).

In digital watches, you've Casios and Timex that make some rather interesting ones. Check out Casio's Path Finder or G-Shock line, or Timex's Iron Man line (if you're into digital that is).

If your boyfriend is into analog watches, take a look at Seiko. They make a great quality watches at a decent price. A lot of their watches are Rolex-look alikes at much cheaper prices (not cheap knockoffs, but similar styles).

Timex also has some good analog watches. Another good brand would be Victorinox, makers of the Swiss Army Knife. They have some interesting watches, as well.

If you've a higher price point, you can look at low-end Swiss watches such as Tag Heur, Raymond Weil, Tissot, or Longines. For instance, I'm in my mid twenties, and my wife recently gifted me with a gorgeous Raymond Weil Automatic for Christmas [1], since I often have to wear a suit and tie for work, and it's a very clean and dressy watch. Watches in similar styles are usually priced at around 1-2k. Those are lower end luxury watches.

If you've more to spend, you get into brands like Breitling, IWC, JLC, Patek etc. which go from 5k and upwards.

In conclusion, assuming that you're a younger couple and your boyfriend prefers "stylish" watches, I'd look at the following -- Fossil, Kenneth Cole, Victorinox, Tissot, Tag Heur, and Rolex (in increasing order of price). Good luck!
