Lesson 15.
Section 1.
Task 1. Capital Punishment.
Did you hear on the news today about that... uh...murderer who was executed? I can't believe it.
Yeah, that's the first time in ten years that they've used capital punishment.
I just can't believe in our society today that they would actually kill another human being.
Nobody has the right to take another person's life.
Oh, I don't agree.
Listen, I think capital punishment is, it's about time it came back.
I think that's exactly what killers deserve.
No, they don't deserve that.
Because once you're killing a killer, you're the killer too, you become a killer as well.
No, listen, you take a life, you have to be willing to give up your own.
And also, I think that if you have a death penalty, it will prevent other people from killing.
I think it's a good deterrent.
I don't think it's a good deterrent at all.
My goodness gracious.
I mean, first of all, are you sure the person you've convicted to death is really guilty?
Well, I think that's a very rare, very rare incidence. I don't think it's rare. (I think it's...) with all the crackerjack lawyers we have today.
(Well, no...I...) and the judicial system the way it is. I think it's a rare incidence,
and I think it's more important to get rid of the...the bad seed, you know?
You don't get rid of it.
You rehabilitate somebody like that. (Oh...) You don't eliminate, you rehabilitate. Listen,
studies show that criminals are never really rehabilitated.
When they're, when they come out of prison, they just go back to a life of crime,
and they're hardened by that crime. Because the rehabilitation process has to be more than just what's in jail. (Oh, well)
When you're in jail, you do have to work, but when you're out of jail,there has to be an extensive program.
We have to expand on the idea till it works.
I don't agree, listen, and, anyway, the jails and the prisons are already very crowded, and we have to pay, the taxpayers.
Our money goes to maintaining murders' lives.
I agree with you, that's why it's important to look at the problem on a much larger scale.
The real problem is a social problem.
(What...noo...) There are other problems that cause people to kill.
Look at poverty, drugs, discrimination. Some people are just bad, they're just evil and there's nothing you can do.
No, there...it is...no, it isn't true.
There's rehabilitation.
And they... we're all responsible it...for...to humanity. (Well) That's one of the reasons.
but in the meantime, you have to take care of the people who have already committed...
I agree with you there. (Preventative is different, but...) I agree with you there.
