What Shall I Discuss Today?

The topic I chose was Capital Punishment. The reason I chose this topic is because, it's a very controversial issue that needs to be handled. All throughout this country individuals are being killed, even if their is a high doubt that they committed the crime. When individuals interpret rather an individual should live or die I feel that they are trying to play the role of God. I'm not justifying what the condemned person did, I just believe that there are other ways for him to receive the consequences and repercussions of his actions. There are a few ways that I could broaden my topic. I could find facts about racism, rather the death penalty is a deterrent for crime, alternatives, innocence, just to name a few.
