死刑废存英语演讲稿
Capital punishment is a traditional punishment. In history, many rulers took the capital punishment as an important tool to deal with those who most seriously opposed their domination. In those days, capital punishment was right and proper. However, its function and existence start becoming questionable after having been applied for thousand years. This essay will argue that capital punishment should not be abolished.
First and foremost, capital punishment indicates the government’s attitude towards crimes. When a criminal’s guilt attains to a certain extend, it will be unacceptable for the whole society on both moral and legal grounds. Then the government should and must sentence the criminal to death. Only in this way can the government proves that they are capable and responsible.
Furthermore, the deterrent effect of other punishments is incomparable with that of capital punishment. Capital punishment is an extremely frightening word for most people. Based on this point, a criminal may stop halfway as soon as he thinks up that death is the most likely outcome of his criminal acts. In addition, the existence of capital punishment brings people the concept that the killers must pay for their crimes. And this concept can leave generations.
Last but not least, the feeling of the victims’ family must be taken into consideration. In many most serious cases, the victims mostly have dead, leaving irreparable injuries on their family. Proved that the capital punishment is abolished, the flagitious criminals are just sent to jail, being alive without worry about foods and
clothing. This is so cruel to the victims’ family that it may induce them to do something crazily, which is bad for both criminals and victims’ family.
In conclusion, capital punishment’s existence in modern civilized society is not occasional, because its powerful function is incomparable. Therefore, capital punishment should be kept to continue playing its important role in stabilizing society.
小生之见：有关死刑存废问题
小生之见：有关死刑存废问题
当今社会是文明社会的过渡期。尊重生命，热爱生命，是社会文明的迫切要求！因而世界已有过半的国家完全废止死刑，并掀起了一股死刑存废的热浪！
中国由于承受着世界舆论的重重压力，经过再三审定后，于今年初一次性废除了13项非暴力性死刑：包括贪污贿赂、盗卖国家文物、传授犯罪法及其它金融类犯罪等罪名在内！但这并不能说明中国是在随波逐流！更不能说这是一种对犯罪分子的盲目宽恕乃至放纵！
其实中国本身是一个传统的.法制国家：杀人偿命，天经地义！这是普遍的民本思想！再加上中国特有的历史文化跟现有的特殊国况、国情，也就造就了如今中国无法完全废除死刑一项的主要原因！
即是说：当今中国经济、治安本来便缺乏稳定性，人口众多而人民的生活水平又还较低！并且存在贫富悬殊巨大等现象！因此中国只能以死刑的威慑力来支撑整个社会治安管理的骨架！
相较于其它国家，中国无疑是高瞻远瞩！事实上，死刑的完全终止也必将成为中国法制进化的第一步！从近年来中国于世界舞台的表现，包括处理死刑案件的严谨态度，以及本次废刑的慎重举措，可以看出中国也在极力呼唤：生命、道德与和平！
我们绝对有理由相信：在不远的将来，当人类的生活水平显着提升，素质文明达成某个高度，有了新的进步文化与科学，已然不再需要死刑的存在！
