(will have citiation )
Capital punishment is one such moral topic and is a practise now abolished in over 70% of countries worldwide withCITE
many individuals and nations deeming the practise as immoral and as a violation against human rights.
Thus, taking a person's life, in the form of capital punishment, is a highly contested moral issue heavily debated worldwide, as the analysis of its necessity is commonly evaluated from an ethical and moral point of view. The academic literature that explores this topic is consistently and highly contested, and, specifically through the lens of the competing moral frameworks of utilitarianism, deontology and virtue ethics, one cannot fully determine with confidence that the death penalty is neither just nor unjust.]]> 2020-08-31 07:07:13 UTC https://padlet.com/edenrigo/rlqcind49tmjo5xz/wish/708163843 Utilitarianism: edenrigo https://padlet.com/edenrigo/rlqcind49tmjo5xz/wish/708165703 Main ideas:
