Anаlyze аnd evаluate, based оn оur materials this week and оur learning in the course about good critical thinking, fallacies, etc., this hypothetical discussion/debate between two students about capital punishment.-----Marcus: The death penalty is absolutely necessary. Murderers forfeit their right to live the moment they take an innocent life — that's simple justice. And it sends a clear message: if the consequences are severe enough, people will think twice. That's just human nature.Priya: The deterrence research doesn't support that. States with the death penalty don't have consistently lower murder rates than those without it. And the deeper problem is that we know innocent people have been executed — over 190 death row exonerations since 1973. How do you defend a system that makes permanent, irreversible mistakes?Marcus: By that logic we should abolish all punishment, since people get wrongly imprisoned too. And look — every society in human history has used capital punishment for its worst crimes. If it were truly wrong, people would have rejected it long ago.Priya: That's an appeal to tradition, not a moral argument. Every Western democracy except the United States has now abolished it. And the system applies the penalty with troubling inconsistency — research shows race and geography heavily influence who ends up on death row. That's a lottery, not justice.Marcus: You want to talk about statistics when someone's child has been murdered? Victim families deserve closure. Their pain matters too.Priya: Many survivors actually report that the prolonged appeals process worsens their suffering rather than relieving it. And life without parole accomplishes the same incapacitation without the irreversible risk. The question isn't what we've always done — it's what we can actually justify.⚠️ Reminder: This Learning Evaluation is a CLOSED-BOOK, CLOSED-NOTE, CLOSED-INTERNET.The use of any unauthorized aid is strictly prohibited.
