Capital punishment, the final and most severe punishment a criminal can ever be sentenced to. Capital punishment is also known as the death penalty, in which the criminal is to be hung. In other countries, the criminal who is sentenced to the death penalty may also be shot, gased or put on an electric chair. Many people argue that Capital Punishment should be abolished as it causes emotional harm to the criminal's family and they argue that an eye for an eye leave both blind. However, capital punishment should not be abolished as it can be used as a method to deter crime in Singapore and it is also a more economical method than rehabilitation.
Firstly, capital punishment should not be abolished as it can be used as method to deter crime in Singapore. Capital punishment would serve as a warning to people. The warning is that if they commit serious crimes such as kidnapping and murder, they might be sentenced to death. Since most people are afraid of death and do not wish to die. Thus, they will think twice before they commit a crime. Hence, capital punishment should not be abolished.
In addition, capital punishment is a more economical friendly method in comparison to the other methods such as rehabilitation. All that is required of capital punishment is a bullet or a rope and some chains. It will be a surefire way of removing criminals and dangerous personel from society as it always succeeds. However, other methods such as rehabilitation are not as good as capital punishment as there is no guarantee that the criminals will become good again once they are out of their rehabilitation programmes. They will commit crimes again and get themselves back in the rehabilitation centre, which will thus result in the loss of precious money. Thus, capital punishment should not be abolished.
Moreover, capital punishment is the most effective and efficient way of cleansing society of dangerous personel. The chains, bullet, poison gas and electric chair never fail to kill a criminal. Thus, it would be an effective way of cleansing society of dangerous personel as it would definitely kill a prisoner. Other methods such as imprisonment are not as effective as there is no guarantee that the criminals will turn over a new leaf after they are out of jail. Thus, capital punishment should not be abolished.
However, capital punishment may not always be good and may also be abolished. This is because capital punishment will only cause more anguish to more people. It will cause anguish to the offendant's family as their son has died. Also, killing a criminal will not bring the victim back from the dead. Thus, capital punishment may be abolished because of this reason.
In conclusion, there are quite a few reasons to why capital punishment should be abolished and why capital punishment should not be abolished. I feel that in the end, capital punishment should not be abolished as it serves as an effective way to keep society safe and sound. Abolishing capital punishment would result in the increase in crime rate as there would not be the factor of death to deter criminals. Thus, capital punishment should not be abolished.

Cell phones: Benefits us or harms us?
Nowadays, almost everyone has a cell phone which one can carry around for easy contact with the outside world.

Because of these outstanding features that allow people to do many things at once, cell phones have become an essential part of many people's lives. Thus, many feel that the cell phone is beneficial to humans and is very important in their daily lives. However, this might not be the case as there may be negative effects of using cell phones, especially the harm it brings to our health.
Firstly, research has shown that excessive use of cell phones can be harmful to human health. This is because cell phones emit microwave radiation. This radiation may cause alteration of activity in the brain, disturbance in sleep and loss of concentration. Many diseases such as cancer are related to the excessive use of the cell phone. With so many defects to our health, cell phones are harmful to humans.
Moreover, cell phones are very distracting to people, especially teenagers. Teenagers might get addicted to using their cell phones to play games, surf the net or text others during class. This would result in the loss of concentration in class. They would not be able to pay attention to what the teacher is saying. Because of this, they will not be able to pay attention in class.
In addition, cell phones might be a danger to people. People who use their phones when driving might lose concentration and crash into other people or cars. Based on a report, 40% of car accidents around the world resulted from the drivers using their cellphones while driving. Thus, cell phones are harmful to humans.
In conclusion, cell phones are harmful to people as they pose as a health hazard, are distracting to people and might be dangerous to people who are driving.

US Bombing of Hiroshimathat
Many state that the dropping of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima ordered by President Harry S.Truman was a crucial part in the war. It resulted in Japan's surrender and peace. Others stated that the bombing was irrational and it claimed many innocent lives. Many state that the bombing of Hiroshima was not crucial in ending the war and other methods could be utilized.I feel that the bombing of Hiroshima was crucial to ending the war.
The bombing of Hiroshima was crucial to ending the war as it broke Japanese morale and destroyed one of its main industrial cities. Hiroshima was one of the cities that produced many war products at that time. By bombing it, it would effective cripple Japan's war supplies and thus reduce their ability to fight. With the knowledge that one of their main sources of war materials was destroyed, Japan's morale will no doubt be weakened. Also, the thought of the US having such as powerful weapon would also greatly impact the Japanese's morale. With low morale, the Japanese will not have the strength and will to continue fighting and surrender
However, the bombing of Hiroshima might have been unnecessary as Germany and Italy, Japan's allies, had surrendered. With their surrender, Japan would lose the support of the two powerhouses which it heavily relied on. Thus, this would reduce their ability to fight on and eventually cause them to lose the war. Also, with the surrender of Germany and Italy, countries in Europe would be able to join in the war in Asia and aid USA in defeating the Japanese. Thus, the bombing of Hiroshima might have been unnecessary.
