The death penalty is a serious issue within our world that divides many nations. Many people are in favour of the death penalty and many are in favour of abolishing it. As a being who does not support the death penalty, I believe there are some effective ways that can bring the message to the world and try to help or put into practice the call of Christians to love each other. Below are some ways that can help bring the message of preventing the death penalty to the world.
Educate Yourself and Others - By becoming familiar with the facts about the death penalty, you will be able to educate others. By creating Facebook groups or petitions, you are able to show your opinion on the issue to the world and provide reasons as to why you are not in favour of capital punishment. Many people today are only faced with the fact that the death penalty ensures that society is now protected from that criminal. But by explaining to them about the cost to kill the criminal, how it does not prevent crime and the horrific fact about how people can be wrongfully convicted, their opinions on the topic may change. By sharing true stories about the wrongfully convicted and how the media portrays the accused can make a difference in people's views of the death penalty.
Do Not Be Afraid - From reading about the death penalty and realizing all the disputes and controversy it causes, do not be afraid to speak your mind about why you are against the death penalty. How are people supposed to hear your opinions when you do not want to be different and express your own? By having confidence in yourself and expressing that we should all come together to love and forgive each other, you can make a difference in society. By speaking out, you can encourage others who may have been afraid to speak up to finally express their opinions. One thing that is very important to remember is that you will be making a difference in the world if you convince only one person that killing is not the moral thing to do to seek justice.
