Death Penalty - Argumentative Essay Outline/ Need ideas!

Greetings,
I'm writing a argumentative paper on the death penalty. Anyone have any ideas. This is a broad subject. Is the death penalty just or unjust capital punishment.

Do two wrongs make a right?

BachChaconne2:
No. I just think there are better ways to punish the offenders.

You could write about that, arguing why you believe the death penalty to be unjust.

If you'd like, I can help you develop your ideas. What are some alternatives to the death penalty?

When I was stationed in Japan, I know that prisoners are made to work to the bones and earn their keep in the prison. They are not lavishly taken care of like our prisoners here in the states. One of our sailors was prisoned their almost 6 years and he told us, bread and water. I don't agree with the death penalty but I would rather have the prisoners work their rear off and pay retribution for the crime they commit. I just think the United States favors "human rights" too much. Hard work doesn't kill anyone.

Congratulations, you've just written a wonderful draft conclusion. Refine it later so that it is a bit more concise and recognizable.

However, keep in mind that you're professor is expecting your paper to argue why you find the death penalty unjust. Take this into consideration when constructing your intro and body paragraphs. Ask yourself, "How will I lead up to the point that I want to make in my conclusion?"

For now, give me four reasons as to why you believe it is wrong. You could also cite one or two scientific studies to back up your claims.

Thanks for taking the time out to help me with this. I will get back with the previous questions.

My pleasure. By the way, I realized that I wrote you're instead of your in my second post. Ha.
