Pena de muerte y dieta vegetariana: ventajas, desventajas y argumentos en inglés
Death Penalty
Nowadays, in many countries such as the USA or Japan, a penalty called death punishment or death penalty is still executed. It is a legal process whereby a person is put to death by the state as a punishment for a crime. However, it is a very delicate and criticized topic among people. There are many disadvantages and some advantages to this penalty.
Arguments against the death penalty
On the one hand, it is clear that there are strong arguments against this idea. Prisons hold many innocent people. One effect of this is that many people in prison have been judged unfairly every year, without hard evidence or with false evidence, in many kinds of cases. As a result, innocent people have suffered the death penalty. Another argument against it is that innocent people are sentenced to death with materially greater frequency than was previously supposed, and that convincing proof of their innocence often does not emerge until long after their convictions.
Arguments in favour of the death penalty
On the other hand, the relatives of the victim feel that the murderer (or not) deserves to die and suffer the penalty that the victim painfully suffered before. This means that the retribution for the crime is the just punishment for the evil that has been caused and is therefore proportional to the crime. Consequently, people will live more quietly without another criminal. Nevertheless, would penal servitude for life be a better alternative than the death penalty for criminals?
Personal opinion
Personally, I believe that no one can kill another person, no matter what he or she did. Because I think that if I killed a criminal, I would become another criminal, and sink down to their level. In addition, executing the death penalty also kills innocents who could have proved their innocence during their stay in prison without dying. But even if that person is guilty, death will not be the solution; while he is alive he will receive his punishment, which could be life imprisonment as an alternative. I strongly believe that the lack of freedom is the only fair punishment for a guilty person. From my point of view, the death penalty is murder by the government, and it violates the right to life. We ask for justice for a murdered person by killing another. It is utterly contradictory. To sum up, capital punishment contradicts our moral beliefs and the principles of a fair and just government.
Vegetarianism
Despite the fact that people are increasingly conscious of the suffering of animals caused by humans, meat-eating people continue with their same habits. Furthermore, many people argue that they are not doing anything wrong. But luckily, there are a lot of vegetarian or vegan people, and being one of them has both advantages and disadvantages.
Advantages
On the plus side, a good vegetarian has better health than a meat-eating person. That’s because meat contains many substances that harm our body, and it also takes more energy to digest meat than vegetables. Another important point is that it is not necessary to kill animals to feed us. If we were carnivores, we would have specialized claws and teeth like all carnivores. And if we were true omnivores, our digestive system could easily digest meat.
Disadvantages
However, for every plus there is a minus. One disadvantage is that it is difficult to stop eating meat if you have been doing it your whole life. Adaptation is an important challenge that not everyone overcomes, because social influence may affect our new decision. For instance, people may laugh at you or you may have uncomfortable meals. Last of all, some vegetarian or vegan people are not informed at all, so they should research and know well what to eat so as not to miss any nutrients in their diet.
Conclusion
To sum up, although most people think that eating meat is the best option, I think they should consider all the damage caused by meat and the suffering produced in slaughterhouses.
