- 5693: Death Penalty
- ... is justified in certain cases such as Mcveigh Vs State of Indiana; however it is unjustified when in other cases, including Bloodsworth Vs State of Maryland. The death penalty is a must, especially in today’s society. With the increase in vicious crimes today, the government must act just as harsh with our justice system to try and prevent these types of crimes.

Putting these criminals to death doesn’t solve the crime that they committed, but it helps the victim’s family and friends to feel a sense of justification for what’s happened to them. Capital Punishment has been part of the criminal justice system since the earliest of times. The earliest historical record ...

A week later, Chieu found ... convinced that this was the symbol God wanted to represent him: the Divine, All-Seeing Eye. It seemed strange to the Vietnamese at first, but then they accepted it, because after all, if God wasn't a man, what better way to represent his Universal Salvation (Do 16-20). The question is raised here, is Chieu a prophet? Do Cai Daiists worship him as Christians do Jesus? Certainly not, taking into ...
