Society claims to be pro- human rights, yet the same individuals amongst

society are prone to torture others. Torture is an act of giving one

excruciating pain, either physically or physiologically, in the means of getting
information or simply being cruel enough to feel pleasure by someone else’s
pain. Torture is an act that was used many hundred years ago by empowers
who brutally used such techniques to governance their empire. Although
humans have moved out of that era, many feel as though this cruel system
should and can still be used. Many individuals amongst society believe that
torture is absolutely necessary in extreme conditions but what they fail to
realize is that regardless of how intense the situation may be, torture cannot
be justified. Torture is a vindictive and inhumane act because it can be
misused on innocent people, there are many physiological affects afterwards,
the interrogators are negatively affected, and the information extracted from
individuals is unreliable.
Primarily, torture is erroneous because often times, it is unjustifiably used on
innocent people. Many individuals resort to torture others without having
any clear evidence that the victim is wrong and deserves what they are being
put through. This can be seen clearly by what the US government did to
individuals they assumed were suspects following 9/11. The 9/11 attacks are
a series of terrorist attacks launched by the al-Qaeda upon New York City and
Washington DC. Subsequent to these attacks, once the government started
investigating, they arrested many individuals, without any reason, if they felt
as though they had part in the activity.
