From the Paper:

"The world finds itself stagnated with ethical debates of social significance. Ever since history began, men have been arguing over what is right and what is wrong. There seems to be no one answer. And in fact, in some cases, such arguments become a matter of life and death. Such, indeed, is the nature of the debate carried on in this paper: the Death Penalty. We will seek to establish whether the death penalty is socially and ethically justified or not. The issue has a history dating back to the Eighteenth Century B.C., but it is not within the confines of the thesis presented hereforth, to delve into as much detail. We will argue and maintain that the death penalty is, indeed, justified."
