Do juvenile killers deserve life behind bars

English
1 answer:
grin007 [14]3 years ago
5 0

This question refers to the article "Do Juvenile Killers Deserve Life Behind Bars?" by Nina Totenberg.

In this article, Totenberg discusses whether life in prison is too harsh a punishment for juvenile killers. The author does not take a position on this matter, and instead focuses on presenting arguments that describe both sides of the question. The main purpose of the author is to encourage readers to think about  the subject because legislation needs to be passed soon, and this is a difficult question that deserves consideration. She shows how important this matter is when she says:

<em>"Two years ago, the court used the same rationale when it struck down the penalty of life without parole for nonhomicide crimes committed by juveniles. But in Tuesday's cases, the court faces the question of life without parole in homicide cases... the big question before the Supreme Court on Tuesday is whether life without the possibility of parole is itself an unconstitutionally cruel and unusual punishment when it is applied to juveniles."</em>

What is Machiavelli’s view of human nature? Your answer should be at least one hundred words
ANTONII [103]

Answer:

Machiavelli's human view mostly states that human nature is selfish, aggressive, greedy and power-hungry, but in need of security and safety.

Thus, he considers man in a similar way to that of Thomas Hobbes: humans have a predominantly negative conception, their individual characteristics are prone to evil, and society is a containment in which humans limit those characteristics. But he differs from Hobbes in that he believes that humans have advanced intelligence, and that he uses his selfishness and lack of empathy to achieve the goals he sets for himself, justifying the means in the end he sets for himself.

Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps (JROTC) was created in 1916, which is 100 years ago. This sentence means that this organization has lasted for 100 years, and that is likely to continue existing for many more. If you are writing an essay on this topic, you should start by explaining what this organization was in the past, and then go on to say what it is now, and what you believe it will be in the future.
