Answer:

- To discourage their return.

Explanation:

As one looks around, one can witness the diversity possessed by people not only in their food, language, or customs but also their beliefs and conviction.

According to the question, the societies or religions that believe in the supernatural tend to show faith in immaterial objects and beings like angels and spirits. Therefore, the reason(who believes in supernatural) behind the burning of the homes of the deceased after their death would be 'to discourage the return of the spirit' of deceased person. They believe that burning or discarding all their belongings or things that denote their existence would prevent the return of their spirit which they feel may possess a threat to them.

The conclusion of this is that death penalty should be abolished. nobody has the right to take life apart from the cycle of nature itself or God. Even the individual has no right to take out their life.

The main aim of sentencing a person is to offer correction measures and death is not one of them.

this is however contentious because some hardened criminals have their victims baying for revenge, and death is one of their desires.
