Our subject of injustice is the great injustice in the government dealing with capital punishment. In this issue there are a lot of minor details that we have to deal with. We have to deal with the actual crime of capital punishment. But also we have to deal with the injustice in the process of getting to the death penalty. We have to deal with the people involved and all of the certain minor issues that go in on this terrible injustice.
The injustice in this case is the injustice that deals with capital punishment. This is an injustice because all we are doing is taking a life. There is no need in our society that we need to kill another human just for the sake of revenge. This is indeed a crime, and this crime really is terrible. It is just going back to the ancient system of an eye for an eye. If our society was ran this way for the rest of the crimes it would be insanity. Now depending on what state you are in the death penalty law varies, however it is still legal in many states, this is a problem, a huge problem. When it comes to the death penalty, it is cheaper to keep the person in prison for life then it is to send them to death, this makes no sense and makes for a good social justice issue.
The oppressed really varies, the sad thing that we talked about in are interview was the fact that there are people of death row that were mentally unstable. This just seems extremely unfair. How are you going to put someone to death, who has no idea of the difference between right and wrong? It seems to me that it would be a way better option to put these people in jail there whole life verses just killing them. It is a very senseless crime. It is the ultimate punishment for someone who has no idea what they have done. It is both sad and very horrible to do. This does make for a good argument for the topic of social justice.
Another oppressed group is that on death row that are innocent. This is a horrible tragedy when this happens. Not saying that this is a common occurrence, however it happens too much even if it happens to one innocent person. This is a terrible thing and it is a grave injustice. It is the ultimate punishment for some whose only crime was being at the wrong place at the wrong time. We cannot sit back and have innocent people put to death, and that is one of the focuses on not having the death penalty.
There are many oppressors in this situation. The first is the government. They are the people who are deciding that we need the death penalty in the first place. This is a terrible thing, the thought that a group of people can and will chose to end a person’s life, ruining the lives of many others in the process. Also the oppressors are the people pushing for the death penalty in the first place. If there were not any people pushing for this punishment jail would be a great option. These are the only ones that are present in a normal case; however it really varies based on each case. The government is the people who are the main cause of this situation. It is a horrible thing to think that the government that is supposed to protect you is really only about revenge. If we do not run the government on the notion of an eye for an eye then the government would be in a much better place than it is today.
The social systems that are involved are only the government and the state always. Also there are different systems that are involved based on certain situations. The general public only see’s a certain portion of what is happening. This prevents them from seeing the whole truth and thus they do not see the full amount of evil that is being done by the system. This is a big problem because in order to be a well informed public we need to know facts and we need to know who is in the right and who is in the wrong, and this is a big problem.
The big issue about this is that if you do not know a lot about the subject you are not well informed then you really shouldn’t have an opinion. Everyone always has something to say, however if people are not informed about the subject mistakes can be made. This is why people that do not know about the subject shouldn’t be involved, because unless you know the facts you don’t know about the death penalty. The reaction really varies from person to person, state to state, and country to country. People’s reactions differ based on many different things; location is a big one of those things. It is terrible to think that just because of where you live you definition of the death penalty would change. The area that you live in will always have a huge impact on you, and that is why everyone’s opinion on the death penalty will change no matter where you are.
The injustice that we are dealing with is a huge issue among Americans. Every year the same result of people getting killed for a crime they committed, or maybe were wrongly accused of. This is a terrible thing. It is really hard to completely understand the issue unless you know a lot about it. We should really consider getting rid of the death penalty. It would help save money and it would help save lives. To thing that are really important. This is a great injustice and should forever be abolished, no matter whom you are or what state, or country you live in.
