WHAT IS TORTURE?
What is the meaning of torture? We at times use this word very lightly. The new generation’s music tortures our ears, or the final exam was torture, or a dozen more little sayings; making the word folksy sounding, with a bit of humor thrown in. But torture, real torture, is not a folksy or a humorous experience for those that are its victims, they suffer psychologically and physically from both present and future side effects of its use. Torture’s use is also not reliable because a victim may say anything to make the pain, either physical or psychological, go away. Our politicians and leaders try to convince us that if it is used (and we all know it is), that it is harmless, and the information obtained is very reliable and important to national security.

Capital Punishment versus Life Imprisonment . Top Story - July 2022.
Gandhi once said, “an eye for an eye will leave the whole world blind” (Dogra, 2019) and others like Martin Luther King and the Bible have reiterated this, however society today lives without the ladder. Revenge has always been apart of society including in constitutions. Capital punishment also known as the death penalty is an extremely controversial issue reflecting that society may never let go of the revenge mind set. Capital punishment may not be the justice that victims are searching for, life in prison without the possibility of parole (LWOP) is effective of taking away the perpetrator’s life and freedoms. Capital punishment is also an immense financial burden in comparison to LWOP as well as the moral burden of the death penalty. Capital Punishment and a life sentence are both taking away a life, however a life sentence is morally superior and easier to accept in society.
