Punishment Critical Thinkings Samples For Students

A popular saying goes “to err is human” which has been proven true in many instances that human beings are generally fallible. People can be wrong but contrary to many skeptics arguments, their fallibility shows that not only would they be wrong, but can also be right. Being wrong does not only carry the possibility of one being right, but implies that often he/she is. Fallibility is a mark of objectivity as it shows there is no standard other than oneself which determines what is right or wrong. Most people can be wrong in given instances but that does ...

Corporal punishment has been practiced in human society since the civilizations of the ancient world, but corporal punishment is not an effective long-term strategy for modifying human behavior because it can cause developmental issues and behavioral issues in all stages of lifespan development. Corporal punishment is a significant issue for children and adolescents because they are mainly the targets of physical abuse at home or in school under the assumption that it will result in reducing misbehavior.
Three types of corporal punishment include parental corporal punishment, school corporal punishment, and judicial corporal punishment. Other than the death penalty, judicial ...

The death penalty is a fair punishment
Rough Draft Revision 1
Death penalty should not be abolished since it has been proven to effectively deter crimes. Although the anti-death penalty groups believe that death is a grave punishment because the calculated killing of a human being by the State is considered as a denial of the executed person’s humanity and the right to life (Mandery 167). Some lawmakers believe that death penalty is cruel and degrading which is in violation of the Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments. However, several crimes have been committed nowadays without due regard to respect for human ...

According to Exum (2002), there is research evidence that will show that that alcohol causes an impairment on the ability of the drinker to understand the consequences of aggression. At the same time, some of the offenders who have been provoked can lead to anger that may increase the probability of aggressive response. In the study of the author of alcohol and aggression, it was shown that intoxication fosters violent behavior when participants were angered (Exum, 2002, p.936). Towards the end of the study, it was revealed that alcohol and anger and enhances the violent decision ...

In today’s world, nothing elicits so much outrage than the subject of slavery. The bone of contention seems to be: why should one human being enslave another? Although people in the modern world may not fathom the rationale behind slavery, it is indeed true that slavery was an accepted institution in the ancient civilizations. It is even possible that slavery predates civilization. One of the reasons why slavery as a practice went on for so long was because enslavement of war prisoners and slavery as a punishment were accepted in the ancient civilizations. Nonetheless, such acts prompt the question of ...

Discretionary death penalty laws are considered more just, fair and reasonable than mandatory penalty laws because it allowed the jury the option to impose life imprisonment instead of death (Bohm, 2012, p.9). Mandatory death penalty can be considered as contrary to justice, fairness and morality because of the theory that criminality was not freely chosen by the criminal, but the criminal behavior of such individual was a consequence of biological and environmental factors that are beyond such person’s control (Bohm, 2012, p.9). Based on this premise, the motivation and causation that influences an individual to develop ...

White collar crimes are increasing from time to time. This is as a result of increased self centered interests of professional as well as lack of respect to code of conducts and ethical requirement. It is one of crimes which controlled easily due to many forms and complex applications which take place in many cases. Different professional have different approached when it comes to white collar crime. It differs from one industry to the other, but there are some similarities between similar departments. There are similar patterns for example, when it comes to crimes in the same industry, despite the ...

When Michael smells onions and his girlfriend is not around, he will start searching for her around. This is because the smell of the onions has always been paired with the presence of his girlfriend. This has continued, the stimulus has been learnt, and this is what will makes him search for her around.
Unconditional stimulus occurs naturally without one being used to such stimulus. For example, when one smells oranges, he/she may have a sour taste regardless of the fact that such an individual has never eaten oranges. This means that there might have been no previous experience. ...

Life imprisonment that has no parole provision is in other terms known as the “penultimate punishment”. It is the second highest punishment after the death punishment and is regarded to have even more felt and dire consequences on the offender/the prisoner than any other form. This form of punishment has had several impacts on the offenders as well as the communities in which they live in (Larry 2009).
Offenders that have been previously convicted under similar counts know that life in prison is not easy hence they are likely not become repeat perpetrators of violent crimes. When asked ...

Stewardship can be regarded as an act of self discipline whereby in involves how one manages and uses the resources that are available to them in a manner that will yield beneficial gains. It is an act of responsibility. From Cambridge University dictionary stewardship is defined as the conducting, managing or supervision of a resource; this means careful use of allocated resource in a responsible way that is entrusted upon someone for care. An example can be when as a student, you are given allowance to take care of your personal needs hence it is required that one has stewardship qualities to handle ...

"PunishmentA strange thing, our punishment! It does not cleanse the criminal, it is no atonement; on the contrary, it pollutes worse than the crime does.” In this statement, Nietzsche questions the contemporary perspective on punishment, the good and evil. According to Nietzsche (a self-confessed Dionysian), punishment is a creation of the Apollonian god who alternately punishes and shows mercy, to demonstrate his power. This sets a poor precedent for modern civilization, established to nurture creativity over rationality. Unfortunately, modern civilization anchors on similar precedents. Punishment has nothing to do with reforming character and behavior; it has everything to do with making people ...

Death Penalty

Before Moses climbed Mount Sinai to receive the Ten Commandments, justice existed. Before 2500 BC when the first ruler of the Babylonian Empire Hammurabi gave his people the first written law, justice existed. Fairness and justice are an inherent human quality. Therefore, swift and fair justice must always exist.
Punishment is the cornerstone of justice in society. A crime should fit the punishment in an ideal society. The death penalty has existed for thousands of years. In the 21st century, emphasis was laid more on the question of humanity. Amnesty International believes "the death penalty is the ultimate ...

Death penalty is a capital punishment that is used in modern days as a punishment for certain offences. It has been in use since the ancient times, and even the Bible advocated for the death penalty for such crimes as murder, adultery, kidnapping, and witchcraft (). However, the death penalty has attracted substantial debates from the two extremist sides. The proponents of the death penalty argue that it is an effective deterrence method; it effectively deters people from committing capital offences. However, the anti-death penalty campaigners argue that legalization of the death penalty may lead to a death sentence being passed on an ...

‘The Hanging’ (1931)

‘Shooting an Elephant’ (1936)

‘Why I Write’ (1946)

Having read these three essays by Orwell and noting the dates they were published, I would have to say that what is important to Orwell does change to a certain extent, but some important things remain constant. The main thing that changes is his political awareness. In ‘Why I Write’ he states that.

Every line of serious work that I have written since 1936 has been written, directly or indirectly, against totalitarianism and for democratic socialism, as I understand it.

He makes clear that his experiences as a police officer in Burma and his subsequent experiences of ...

Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoyevsky is a novel focusing on the cause and effect of a criminal act. The reader is introduced to Rodion Romanovich Raskolnikov, a Russian down and out who is struggling to survive his own poverty. To get money quickly, Raskolnikov chooses to rob and murder a local pawnbroker. These initial actions happen very early in the book’s progress and it quickly devolves into a series of self-involved, guilt-driven inner monologues of a murderer. The colour red appears repeatedly throughout the novel. Traditionally, red is associated with anger, passion and an impulsive surge of emotion. In Crime and Punishment, the ...

Is the Death Penalty Effective?

Is the Death Penalty Effective?
The community has always questioned whether the death penalty is effective in deterring violent crimes, or if other measures would be more effective, such as using drug rehabilitation programs, job training, or using capital punishment. Ellsworth & Gross (1997) found in 1974 that 93 percent of the proponents “agreed that the death penalty is a more effective deterrent than life imprisonment”. On the other hand, those who disagreed still opposed the death penalty, even if it turned out to be an effective deterrent to violent crime than life imprisonment (Ellsworth & Gross, 1997). It appears that ...

The modern criminology seems to be stemmed from the amalgamation of the two different schools of thoughts namely classical school originating in the 18th century and the positivist school beginning in the 19th century. It is therefore, necessary to analyze both school of thoughts with respect to crimes and criminals to know the similarities and difference shared by both school of thoughts.
It was a general trend before the 18th century to explain every phenomenon in religious context or in the context of spiritual nature. However, the 18th century gave a new world view to the people because of the ...

Capital punishment is one of the debatable forms of punishment in the United States. There are various views that have been raised in support and against capital punishment. Historically, capital punishment has existed for many decades. Reformist continue to support the use of alternative forms of crime. The capital punishment was inflicted in America to punish those who spied against the state and committed dangerous crimes. Also, the death penalty began to be used in the correctional facilities (Mandery, & Mandery, 2011). The legislatures inflicted capital punishment to reduce crimes in society. The legislatures believed that capital punishment was the ...

Introduction

Capital punishment or the death penalty is the process by which a state puts an accused person to death for perpetrating a grave crime. The matter has been of considerable controversy over the past century in various countries and states. Human rights activists have continually criticized the states of being inhuman, immoral, and irresponsible for the welfare of its people through killing suspected criminals (Vaughn 78). Religious groups such as Christians have also expressed their disappointments over capital punishment, as it goes against the wishes and plans of God. The various reasons that state carrying out the process hold ...

Difference between Legislative, Executive and Judicial Branch of Government

The legislature, Executive and Judicial branches are the three main branches of the United States government. Legislative branch of the government is composed of two main houses, which are referred as the house of congress, they are: The House of Representatives and the Senate. All the parties in both the Senate as well as the House of representative are elected leaders. The most significant role played by the Legislative Branch that is, both the Senate and the House of Representatives is to formulate or make laws; these laws are discussed and voted. Moreover, the Legislative Branch is responsible for ...

The argument under discussion is a refutation of the death penalty, on the basis of several reasons. One is the assertion that the desire behind the application of capital punishment is one of revenge. As much as we want to dress up the death penalty as the balancing of some sort of scales of justice, the basic truth is that we want someone to pay for the crime that has been committed. This is the basic thrust of the argument – that when we take on the role of the hangman as a society, we actually pick up the same ...

In 2002, as reported by The New York Times, the Bush administration approved a presidential bill giving the National Security Agency (NSA) the power to track, listen to, and intercept without a warrant the local and international communications (e.g. emails, phone calls) of a vast number of American citizens. Sooner or later, the scheme expanded to involve a certain extent of 'internal controls' (ACLU, 2015, para 2), yet there was no mention of mandating warrants specified under the foreign intelligence surveillance laws. This surveillance program has penetrated and invaded almost all of the communications technologies and networks that the ...

The last two decades left the United States of America’s detention centers flooded with juvenile offenders. The rate at which juveniles get themselves in detention facilities for rehabilitation is at its peak demanding attention from the justice system of the country. Statistics show that the young people are perpetrators of violent crimes inclusive of murder, rape, armed robbery and several other crimes more than ever before. Further studies accentuate that the greater percentage of inmates in jails currently throughout the US comprises inmates in the age bracket of 17 and 21 ...

In ancient societies, people believed that the hierarchy of human society was based on the divine right of certain people to lead and the divine permission to keep others as lower class members of society. This shamed the parameters of social order until the Age of Enlightenment and Reformation in the 16th and 17th Centuries. The American and French Revolutions laid the foundation for the creation of a system of civil liberties and human rights which required some basic rights to be accorded to all human beings without exception. Human rights is defined as “a set of freedoms guaranteed ...

In the history of philosophy, the problem of determinism and free will has always sparked a debate between philosophers who take opposing views on the issue. Determinism is a philosophical belief and thinking that assumes that all things which include human behavior are causally determined. On the other hand, free will is a philosophical idea that views things such as human will and behavior as free from causal determination. This topic in itself creates other issues that relate to morality and religion. On one hand, to believe in free simply does not in itself mean that human conduct is ...

In Medieval Literature women tend to be depicted as having no agency. They have act in accordance to the man’s will and have events acted upon them. In many cases they are nothing more than props used to provide the hero a basis for a heroic act. This paper will look at two stories in which the power of women is on display and how the power is utilized in comparison to each other.
In Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, we have Guinevere, Lady Bertlak and Morgana Le Fay. Guinevere is the first women that we meet ...

Introduction
This paper looks at the claim by Cullen and Gilbert (1982) that “Rehabilitation should be the major goal of any correctional system” (p. 5) and seeks to determine if rehabilitation is the most efficient method to attenuate crime. From the onset of the 20th century, efforts to combat crime have seen a rise in the implementation of rehabilitation as a preferred philosophy or methodology enacted by the justice system in order to reduce this societal challenge. The treatment of criminals was perceived as both efficient in terms of crime prevention and also the treatment of offenders was considered a more ...

Juvenile court system is a parallel criminal system provided for juvenile delinquents. Criminal justice system realized that juvenile offenders have special needs as compared to adult criminals in that they are young, and have great future to pursue; therefore, the main objective of the juvenile justice system is to rehabilitate them. The United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund (UNICEF) asserts that, the objective of the juvenile justice system is to “encourage a process of behavioral change by helping the child or young person to feel accountable for his or her actions and understand their impact on others, and foster integration ...

Inaction is more harmful than taking the wrong decision. The callous attitude of the Judges in the Supreme Court in recent times is affecting different sections of the society in the United States. Whether it is their reluctance to ban assault rifles or to withhold immigration reforms, the consequences are difficult to bear by the citizenry. There are several incidents of inaction in the past which disgraced the United States in the international arena. It is not surprising that neighboring countries are slowly isolating ties with the nation. Even allied nations choose to hold a neutral position. Inaction has ...

Assisted suicide

Recently in the newspapers there was a man who killed his wife who was suffering from stage four cancer. In his defense, he said that the wife had asked him to kill her in order for her to stop feeling pain. The wife was no longer responding to pain medication and was in agony for several weeks. This act of mercy killing is called euthanasia.

The reason for storing carbon dioxide away is related Greenhouse effect and its influence on global warming process. The main goal of carbon capture technologies is to stabilize the levels of greenhouse gas in the atmosphere. It is expected that implementation of CCS technologies will make it possible to reduce the total emission of CO2 up to 54% (to 450 ppmv). ( ...

Project Management

Suppose that you are a project manager, and you face the challenge — to complete the project in a very short period of time. In case the usual working schedule will not allow you to finish a project before the deadline, you will be forced to search for a way out of this complicated situation. One of the possible solutions is increasing the amount of resources to be spent on the development of the project. A project manager can reduce the expected duration of the project by assigning more workers, overtime work, or by assigning additional materials and equipment (Project ...

Within our constitution we have the privilege of utilizing the first amendment. As American citizens, we are allowed to speak our minds on things that matter to us.

Socrates was, and still is, considered to be one of the most profound contributors to human philosophy that has ever lived. In the end, he was, if anything, a bit progressive for his time. This was reflected in the fact that he introduced many new thoughts and ideologies that ran counter to culture at the time. As such, he was eventually arrested, placed on trial, and set for execution. With many supporters around the region, Socrates likely could have gotten free somehow. This could have perhaps took place via an escape, but he chose no such way out. As ...

Hoop Dreams: Job Discrimination

Question #1:
When it comes to determining compensation an employee deserves, several factors would have to be taken into consideration. First of all, the need of the company for an employee to perform a particular job must be balanced with the cost factor, the realistic amount the company is able to afford. The skill requirement for the job must be considered, because if the job is a difficult one requiring a lot of education, experience, and so forth, it will be harder to find, attract, and keep employees who have these skills. If little training or education is required, the compensation ...

People go through life trying to overcome various obstacles on their way to what they perceive as an aim or a better life. The path of each individual is unique and is characterised by transformation of each person in a different way. The path an individual has gone through also tells a lot about personality development and rationale for certain decisions. The aim of this essay is to examine my personality from three different psychological theories in order to explain certain features of my personality. In this context attention is paid to approaches of Freud's psychoanalysis, Alport's trait theory and Skinner's behaviourism.

It was Virginia Woolf who famously suggested that greater female autonomy could be achieved through the craft of writing. Historically, women have been marginalized by their male peers, forced into stringent gender roles with little attention paid to their personal desires, hopes, or dreams. One of the primary methods that women have used over the the years to fight against this oppression is the creation of literature. Women of different cultures often have varied experiences, and Latina women are no exception to this rule; however, despite the cultural differences between different Latin cultures, Cofer, Martínez, and Erauso explore ...

Oedipus the Rex is one of the most famous Athenian tragedies written by Sophocles in the 5th century BC. It is interesting to note that besides fascinating plot one may find here a reflection of historical and social backgrounds that influenced the play. One of such was an old conflict between the city of Athens and the city of Thebes.
It comes quite clear from the text of the play that all gods supported the rightfulness of punishment to which Thebes were subjected by gods. When the chorus appears in the play for the first time, it is praying ...

Under the juvenile delinquents, the two types of characteristic behavior exist. The one who become chronic offenders into adulthood is called persisters and the one who committed the criminal ...

Socrates is considered one of the greatest philosophers in the history of Western Europe. Virtually every person that goes through the education system must come across his name, his works, or his demise story. Greek official had previously put Socrates in jail for the charges of ‘corrupting the mind' of the Athens' youth. In the eyes of the wealthy and the influential, Socrates was making a fool of them by empowering the young people with new information about the society and its leadership among other things. When put to jail, he was scheduled for death in a few days, ...

Dreams are a profound mystery that largely went unexplained throughout the majority of human history until Sigmund Freud tried tangling with them. One of his assertions was that if a person feels guilt for any reason but then represses that guilt so that he no longer senses it on a conscious level, it will emerge on an unconscious level, such as through insanity or nightmares. It is possible to repress guilt, of course, so that it no longer has much to do with us on a day-to-day level, but it does not leave. It simply lurks in a different ...

Fairytales generally offer children a very limited choice of heroes and villains, and they cast men and women in stereotyped roles, because they are meant to socialize children according to the values of the society and according to their expected gender roles. Two feminine characters found in many fairytales are the wicked stepmother and the young and beautiful heroine, who is often a princess. In such fairytales as Grimm brothers’ “Snow White”, “Cinderella” and “Mother Holle”, the stepmother is an intruder who occupies the role of the good mother and persecutes the young, beautiful and kind heroine. She is ...

In any discussion of the conscience and the icons that have become examples of what conscience means, there is a need to discover what a conscience is and from where it comes. Only then can the discovery of iconic roles such as Shakespeare’s Hamlet and Sophocles’ Oedipus be understood as examples of how the conscience works.
There can be no conscience without communication. The requirement of communication to establish a conscience is a common human trait. “There are tribes in Africa where a baby is called a kuntu, a ‘thing,’ not a muntu, a ‘person’” (Lederer 3). It ...

Morality requires that people suspend their primal and visceral responses to situations, but it does not require belief in a supernatural order or power. In fact, the threat of an afterlife filled with punishment does not lead to moral living. It might lead to the temporary sublimation of sinful desires, but those desires will emerge later, sometimes in more harmful ways, because the consciousness cannot sublimate them forever. Belief in a supernatural being can enhance one’s morality, but it is not necessary – and it cannot compel morality. Moral behaviors are a choice freely made, one way or the ...

The five basic assumptions of positivism in law are realism, objectivity, scientific evidence, and ultimate proof is unattainable. The realism operates in order to impress investigators to face the reality without letting their emotions cloud their judgments. The objectivity wants them to focus on objectives without getting hurt from the presence of obstacles and problems in the way of solving the crime. The good investigator always follows the evidence because it does not lie, but people do in order to hide their wrongdoings. The final assumption argues that ultimate proof is not possible to be found, and ...

Human behaviour is a complex topic that has continued to remain unfound in its entirety. A human being may act in a certain way without themselves and others knowing why that particular individual acted in such a manner. In Brain on Trial, David Eagleman tries to explain the relationship that exists between neuroscience and criminal acts, and how this information can be used to build a better society with a justice system that is not ignorant of the facts of advances in brain science. This information can better equip those in the justice system to understand better why crimes occur and may recur, and ...

In the 2008 film Die Welle (The Wave) directed by Dennis Gansel and produced by Rat Pack Film and Christian Becker, high school teacher Rainer Wenger (portrayed by Jürgen Vogel) challenged his students about the possibility of an authoritarian government in modern Germany. To prove its possibility, he provoked his students to being his blind Nazi followers while he plays as the dictator "Herr Wenger". It was an experiential experiment gone astray but a subtle and touching revelation on the transcendence of fascism in contemporary time.
For Rainer, it started as an innocent class strategy in teaching Autocracy ...

Health Care Reform in the United States has been a central subject owing to the high costs involved and the relative lack of access to health care. Health care reform has been a campaign issue and a number of initiatives in addressing the issues. Most Americans grapple with the high costs of health care and lack of access especially to the poor who may not afford health insurance cover. In relation to the White House Health Care Reform government website, I find the Affordable Care Act (ACA), also known as Obamacare, as the most intriguing health care reform for a number of reasons. ...
