THE DEATH PENALTY

Death penalty means ending guilty people life because of their crimes or bad actions. The death penalty was being used until the 20th century. However, today, it is unfortunately no longer used. In recent years, the law of death penalty has been argued to be passed again. While some people think that the death penalty shouldn’t be passed again, I believe that the death penalty is necessary for the society because it provides justice, it deters people from committing crime, and feeding guilty people cost a lot of money.

First of all, the state should pass the law of death penalty because it provides justice. Some people may say that the permanent prison punishment is enough for the people who committed unacceptable crimes. However, is it enough to put someone who killed 15 innocent children into the prison? Sometimes, the death penalty is the only way to provide the justice. If the government want to provide the justice in a complete way, they should apply the law of death penalty.

Second, the state should pass the law of death penalty because it deters people from committing crimes. It is a well-known fact that the countries that have applied the death penalty to their justice system have lower rate of crimes. For example, Iran, which is a country located on Asia, has been using the death penalty for years and thanks to this, Iran suffers less from crimes than Turkey. People in prison damage others, but still enjoy life, and it is not fair. When people know that the result of crimes is the death penalty, they will try to be more careful about not committing crimes.

Finally, the government should pass the law of death penalty again because taxpayers do not want to feed people in prison who committed crimes. Criminals who have been imprisoned for life will generally live in prison more than 30 years. Every year, the state wastes lots of money for them and they have the opportunity to live without working, which is not fair. As a taxpayer, I do not want to pay a criminal to live with my money. Taxpayers pay their taxes to the state because they want to live in a better country, but when those taxes are used for criminals who damaged taxpayers' peace, it makes us question the reason why we pay our taxes.

In sum, the law of death penalty should be passed again because it provides a better justice system, it deters people from committing crimes, and it prevents taxpayers from paying their taxes for criminals. Prisons are full with the people who committed crimes and they live in a wealthy life. They wake up whenever they want, they eat what is cooked for them, and they drink their tea, and so on. An innocent citizen cannot event live in that kind of world. Therefore, the state should pass the law of death penalty.

FREE EDUCATION

The opinion that college or university education should be tuition free for-all-policy is very controversial. Some people think that it is beneficial for their country, some people don’t. Even though making all schools free can be very expensive for state economy, I think its advantages are valuable. And there are several reasons why university education should be free for everyone.

First, the most powerful reason of free education is equality of opportunity. Because there are many families who can’t pay for the education of their children, young people from poor families can’t continue their education. This is a barrier for many intelligent young. Therefore, it must be a duty of government to make education accessible to everyone. Talented youth are an important asset of a nation. In addition to that, they can help to develop the economy of a country and make it prosper.

Second, another advantage of making education free is happiness. Nowadays we can see the students who do different jobs to earn money. This limits their leisure time and they can’t spend time with their friends. After a while, this causes students to live a stressful life. However, they continue their education easily and can focus on their lectures if the education is free. Finally, they live their lives and become happy.

Finally, the free education means more educated people. When the rate of educated people increases, societies develop. And higher education leads to the productive workforce. As a result of this, countries have higher level of innovation and productivity growth. On the other hand, the educated people have more chance to find well-paid jobs. Then, they pay a lot of money to the government as a tax. In short, making education free adds a lot of things to community.

In conclusion, there are many arguments about making education free. Although it can be very expensive for state economy, its advantages help to develop country. Thanks to free education, many children who are from poor families can reach their goals. To sum up, making university education free gives people equal opportunities and this is important for society.
