Document Summary
State the issue according to the method taught in class and applying criteria for a well-formed issue. Noah: real justice requires people to suffer for their wrongdoing, and to suffer in a way appropriate for the crime. Bryan: capital punishment is vengeance rather than retribution and, as such, is a morally dubious concept. Noah: each criminal should get what their crime deserves and in the case of a murderer what their crime deserves is death. The anticipatory suffering of the criminal, who may be kept on death row for many years, makes the punishment more severe than just depriving the criminal of life. Bryan"s position: capital punishment should not be legalized. Distinguish simple opinions, evidential claims and reasoned opinions. You should major in psych if you want to practice law. For the following passage: (1) list the prejudicial and emotive words or phrases; and (2) rewrite the passage without the emotional and prejudicial terms in a neutral form.
