please and thank you i just need help cause i mean im all for it but i dont quite understand all of that stuff so if someone could please help me asap ? please and thank you .

Well, my friend this is a very serious and contentious debate. When you say you are "all for it", then that is the opinion that you have a right to hold. Now you must demonstrate why you feel that it is a just system. If you truly feel that only some people deserve it, say so and explain why. If you have any thoughts on people having been wrongfully executed, you can mention that too. Remember, this is life and death so you don't necessarily have to be "all for" or "all against" it. If you feel exceptions should be made, express that. The point is to have enough information and feeling behind whatever you do say to make a proper and compelling essay. I hope this has been helpful. Good luck!!

I think the best way to create a meaningful response and discover your own opinion is to put yourself directly in the shoes of someone dealing with the death penalty and how you would respond. For example if so one killed a loved one would you want the guilty party to have the death penalty and vice versa. If your loved one killed someone would you be ok with them having the death penalty. It you cannot definitively answer yes to both or no to both you may be in between. Something completely understandably when dealing with life or death so write that in your essay. It always helps me to understand where i stand on things when i personalize it. Hope that helps.

I have studied several articles about this subject and I hope my suggestions be useful
Introduction: Ethical, social, and cultural values are central to the continuing controversy over death penalty. According to these elements this type of punishment can be an acceptable problem among people of a society such as Islamic ones. With regard to issue concerning the capital punishment there is an important question that "can death penalty be viewed as a suitable deterrent to crime?". For my view, this penalty cannot be a helpful policy for eradication of crime in a country even though in some countries it is conducting.

Body: in body you can discuss about its effects on economical issues. For example, a survey in the US showed that the amount of tax paying for capital punishment is higher that that for long imprisonment over a period of ten years. Also, In 1983 an article with the title of "Attempting suicide by homicide" was published that discussed about cases through which some individuals murder a person in order to sentence to death because they were tired of living. Moreover, many researches revealed that this kind of penalty cannot be an effective way for declining homicide rate. The results of these investigations showed that the homicide rate in a country is affected by many other societal issues which must be considered and death penalty cannot eliminate those difficulties, eg. poverty, inappropriate atmosphere at which people are grown up, and the like.

At the another part of body you can talk about countries in which this type of penalty is executed. For example you can write about Islamic countries. In fact, this punishment is a part of Islamic rules. You can also write that a group of people believe that death penalty is a way by which the victims' families can obtain their right. Furthermore, In such countries authorities think that their societies steer toward safety and security in this way.

At the third part, you should compare these viewpoints and give your own idea.
Finally write a conclusion. (reword the first paragraph)

I hope these hints be helpful
I wish you luck, and have fun
