Death penalty assignment

The bad thing about the death penalty is how much it cost, if it didn't cost as much it would probably be used more. As if you kill someone, then it is an "eye for an eye" like the saying goes. As you die to.

But also, then your suffering is over even if you did something bad, so what is the need of killing the person? Wouldn't it be better to keep them alive a while and make then repent on their crimes and think about what they have done?

I think that mass murderers and such should be given the death penalty, only after they stay in jail for a while. But with money a concern, life in prison would be better.then the person can repent and be tortured pretty by for their sins and crimes.

I think that the most humane death penalty should be used. Ad it should be done by someone who knows what they are doing, so the person dying won't go through a bunch of pain before dying. Dying in of itself is a worse enough torture.

Self defense and such things like that should not count as being bad, which in most cases they aren't. Like if you get attacked and end up killing the person, but it was the only way to protect yourself or others,then there shouldn't be a punishment.

Search and seizure post

I think that the school should be able to search your items if you could possibly have any type of drug, weapon, bomb, or anything else dangerous to the people around you. Like when we have the dogs come in and sniff everything, if they find something then they should be able t g through your stuff to find what it is they might have found. Because it could harm others.

I am glad there are such tight security measures at air ports. But they are going a bit too far. Like with the new scanner that pretty much shows you naked, they should not be able to use something like that. It is awkward and indecent, and no one should see that.

Freedom of religion assignment

Freedom of religion is a very important freedom that we as people have. It is very limited though, sure by law we are free to do what ever religion we want. But other people look down on each other for being different religions. And even stores and tv shows are target for towards Christians in this country. I myself am Christian, but others aren't. What about the other religions? They shouldn't need to put up with Christian views on everything. Even in English classes we have used the bible in our reading assignments, some people got angry about that and I can see why.
