Death Penalty

The conservative view on the death penalty is that it is okay. If somebody kills someone, they should receive the same punishment. They took an innocent life and now theirs will be spared. The liberal view is that it is wrong. An execution is the same thing as murder. I definatly agree with the liberal view. Sometimes they can execute someone and they are innocent. Also, even if they are guilty they can change their life around.

Gun Control

I wasn't in school. I was at sectionals.

Gay Marriage

Gay Marriage was my group. Me, Michele, and Sam expressed the liberal viewpoint while Dino and Hyung expressed the conservative viewpoint. The liberal view is that gay people should be allowed to get married. They aren't doing any harm to anyone. It doesn't affect people that are against gay marriage. It is none of their business. The conservative view is that gay people shouldn't be allowed to get married. Marriage is between a man and a woman. Also, Christians argue that it is against the bible. I think that gays should be allowed to get married. It is just a title and it affects no one but themselves.

Pro-Life or Pro-Choice

The liberals perspective of abortion is pro-choice. They believe that there are various scenarios that happen created pregnancy. This crazy scenarios should give the mother the choice to abort her baby. The conservatives believe in pro-life. They think that abortion is the same thing as murder. The pregnant women should have to take responsibility for her actions. I personally think that abortion is okay. If the baby hasn't passed the third trimester, I don't understand what the big deal is. The baby hasn't even developed yet.
