Death Penalty Socratic Seminar

10/9/2018

0 Comments

 
I apologize I can’t be here today, but you should complete the following questions to prepare for tomorrow. Research and reflect both sides of the argument.

1. Is the death penalty a violation of the 8th Amendment? Provide examples.

2. Does it serve as a deterrent? Explain.

3. Are there any grey areas? (Ex: self-defense, bias, etc) provide current research or examples to support your claim.

4. Should cost play a factor? Should the victim’s family get a say?

5. Is death row syndrome a violation of the 8th Amendment? Why?

6. Should someone’s IQ be taken into consideration?

Are there any other interesting things you would like to discuss?
