Death penalty is wrong. Is it?


   First of all, the slogan misses an important point. The death penalty does not punish people for killing, but for murder. Killing is justified when it is done in self-defense. Killing means to cause death. Murder, on the other hand, is defined as, "the unlawful and malicious or premeditated killing of one human being by another".
    If it is not morally okay to rape rapists, is it acceptable to execute murderers? The answer is simple. Raping the rapist will only cause someone else to degrade themselves by doing it. It will not prevent the rapist from raping again. Executing murderers prevents them from committing their crime again, and because of that protects innocent victims. The good, therefore, outweighs the bad, and the executioner is morally justified in taking the murderer's life. On the other hand, if the abolitionist argues that killing is always wrong, then he must also admit that killing in self-defense is unacceptable and should be punished. Few are willing to do so. The abolitionist may choose to argue that the state should never kill.

Letter


   Dear Sir,
   I would like to ask for more information about the “Deep-sea diving in the Indian Ocean” holiday. I am highly interested in diving especially in beautiful Indian Ocean, could you please share some details.
   Firstly, I would like to find out about the flight. Is it possible for your company to arrange a flight from Europe? I would like to fly from Estonia, if there is a possibility. Secondly, some information about accommodation would be great. Where can I stay? Would it be tent, cabin, hotel, single or double room? Firdly, what clothes and equipment are suitable or needed? That is a big detail in packing my luggage. Finally, could you please write the date and price?
   I look forward to hearing from you.
   All the best,
   Mr. Olly

Why do I like travelling?

   Everyone likes travelling. What is so good about it? Why do I like travelling?
   Travelling is a great thing to find yourself, have fun or just to relax and get away from troubles. But the main nuances are how, where, for how long. People have different tastes. Some would travel to a historic place, some would visit a beautiful city and etc. Some would travel for a week or two weeks, some would have a month-long trip.
   I cannot understand people who do not like travelling. I think they just have not travelled for real. If they would have a nice trip, they would not dislike travelling.
   I like travelling because every trip I made was fantastic. I travelled to Turkey five times, to Egypt once, to Sweden twice, to France twice, to Russia many times and I think that is all. Trips to France, Turkey and Egypt were best. There I had the most amazing time in my life. And I cannot tell why because it is too private. And on my opinion two weeks are the best length of a trip.
  To sum everything up I would highly recommend travelling to every single person in the world because it is a very entertaining thing to do.

Should cloning be banned?

   Cloning is a huge word not only in science, but in every human life. There are many pluses as well as minuses of it and the question for today is - Should cloning be banned?
   Gardeners have a little secret. Take a cactus plant, pinch off a leaf, and put that leaf into a cup of water. Wait for few days, and eureka! You have a new cactus. This secret method of growing plants has been around for years. And guess what? It is called cloning. Even though this particular example is a harmless method of plants, I believe that human cloning will have a beneficial use for humans.
   Well, if I were a religious person I would tell that cloning is against the Will of God. But I am not religious, so I will say that religions that base their doctrines on scriptural text face the problem that nowhere in the Bible, the Qur'an, Talmud, or the Sutras does it say, "Humanity shall not splice DNA" or "Cloning is destiny of humanity". So I from the point of scientist cloning is a expensive and very valuable discovery. And many people agree with this point.
   To sum everything up I will say that I am not against cloning and I don’t think it should be banned. It’s our future and may be cloning will help us to save our species.

The importance of good memory

   Memory is an importants part of what shapes our life. Everything we know is part of our memory : all our experience which we had during whole life.
   Firstly, sometimes memory poses some problems - unpleasant memories can make us bitter, cold, angry, depressed, or scarred. We might get nightmares or  have regrets. Secondly, memories and histories come with negative aspects as well- sometimes people resent how their people have been treated in the past, and treat people unfairly or try to 'right' it by starting fights. This has led to wars and discrimination. But mamories are not always bad. Cute and plesant memories makes us feel happy and cheerful. For example, everytime I remember about my  adventures I feel good.
   Bad memory can make you get in awkward situations and if you do not remember many things it makes you less experienced, because memory equals experience.
   In my opinion, memory is a very useful thing. Without memory life would not exist. Well life could exist without memory, but it would be total chaos.
