3. Read the text and make a table to list pro and contra argument you found in the text!

Capital Punishment : A Controversy over death penalty.

Capital punishment is one of the most controversial subjects to be discussed today. This controversy
is caused by so many things all over the world having so many different views about it. Capital
punishment happens when someone is put to death for a crime, for example murder of drug
trafficking. Many people think capital punishment should be reinstated in Britain, but there are just
as many people who think that the criminal system is better the way it is.

One important argument against the death penalty is that sometimes an innocent person is put to
death. If capital punishment is used, the authorities must therefore have evidence beyond the
Unit Kegiatan belajar Mandiri (UKBM)

shadow of any doubt that they have accused the correct person. Furthermore, capital punishment
removes all possibilities for a person who has done something seriously wrong to be able to change
and to be rehabilitated.

Another strong point against capital punishment is that two wrongs do not make a right. Killing a
victim, for instance, and then being sentenced to death do not suddenly make everything all right or
make things better. A poor, helpless victim’s life has been stolen from him, but killing the murder
will not bring the victim back.

Nevertheless, those who are in favor of the death penalty have many points to justify their stance.
Most importantly, it punishes the criminal by doing to him what he did to others. It acts as a form of
revenge for the victim’s family by letting them know that the criminal has felt some of the pain he
inflicted on another.

Furthermore, capital punishment could act as a deterrent to anyone who ever thought about
committing certain crimes because he would know that when he was found guilty, the death penalty
awaited him. It can also save money because, instead of the criminal being kept in person for the
rest of his life, he is killed.

After weighing up the arguments for and against capital punishment, I have come to the conclusion
that I am for it, and that it is a pity it was abolished in Britain thirty or so years ago.

B. MAIN ACTIVITY

Vegetarian

Vegetarians, about 3.2% of the US population, do not eat meat. The US Department of
Agriculture does not only include meat as part of a balanced diet, but it also states that a vegetarian
diet can meet “the recommended dietary allowances for nutrients”
Many proponents of vegetarianism say that eating meat harms health, wastes resources,
causes deforestation and creates pollution. They often argue that killing animals for food is cruel and
unethical since non-animal food sources are plentiful.
Humans evolved to be primarily vegetarians. Humans do not have the large mouth or long,
pointed teeth of carnivores. Human teeth are short and flat for chewing fibrous food. The liver of a
carnivore can detoxify the excess vitamin A absorbed from a meat-based diet. The human liver
cannot exceed vitamin A.
It is unnecessary to take an animal’s life when vegetarian options are available. In the US
about 35 million cows, 115 million pigs and 9 billion birds are killed for food each year. These
animals should not have to die to satisfy an unnecessary dietary preference.
On the other hand, many opponents of a vegetarian diet say that moderate meat
consumption is healthy, humane and that producing vegetables causes many of the same
environmental problems as producing meat.
Eating meat is not cruel or unethical. Every organism on earth dies, at some point, so others
can live. There is nothing wrong with this cycle; it is how nature works. Humans have been eating
meat in their ancestral diet provided a dense form of nutrients and protein that, when combined
with high-calorie low nutrient carbohydrates such as roots, allowed us to develop our large brains
and intelligence.
Meat is the most convenient protein sources since it provides all 10 essential proteins
(amino acids), as well as essential nutrients such as iron, zinc and the B vitamins, in one serving.
Most individual plant foods do not provide adequate levels of all 100 essential proteins in a single
serving.
Unit Kegiatan belajar Mandiri (UKBM)

In my opinion, meat eaters don’t need to feel guilty. Everything we consume, including vegetables or
meat has environmental, ethnical and health consequences.
