Though this political cartoon wasn't centered on the issue of the death penalty, it still showed me something. It showed me that there are many issues that we consider to be important, but if the government doesn't care much about it then what can we do? Now, if rehabilitation is to replace the death penalty, the people have to care too. The people need to let the government know that they care. If the government can't make it happen, then realistically, who can? The final step to the solution to this problem is pushing it through to the government. All this research can be used to support the position. Our federal government needs to know that the people, the true people in command of this nation, believe in rehabilitating criminals rather than killing them. Punishment and rehabilitation can work together, but killing is not the right way to punish.
I love that you used a political cartoon to get all this analysis. This is a true solution to this paper. You've done lots of great research...can't wait to read your paper!
