OPINIONS FOR DIFFERENTS PERSONS

Alberto Iniesta, bishop of Madrid: I am against the death penalty. Like chrstian I believe that every human life is sacred, because it comes from God. I think the arguments against it are based on is need to restrain evil. I think in practice this isn't done. I am against the death penalty as well as in the case of an error there is no possibility to correct it. Society should not be like the criminal. Should cure a one member sick before kill he.

Julio Caro Baroja anthropologist and historian: I think that is in a time of violence and agression as we are living, make all possible campaigns to ensure the security that all people we are less aggressive and less violent os something that should be supported. All natural demand the abolition of the deat penalty now may seem utopian, but it is also trues that the utopias of the past arise realities.

Carlos Garcia Valdes, Lawyer and Teacher of Criminal Law: I am against of the death penalty in an active way, in my books and in my university activity. I base this on two reasons: first, the global humanitarian sentiment, that is, one reason might be called unscientific. Secondly, the study for many years this problem has convinced me that the death penalty serves to contain crime. To confirm the last satetemn I refer to the British statistics published in 1954.

PERSONAL OPINION
We thinking that is a madness because when one person kill another person, the solution not is kill, the solution os rehabilitate this person, if he don't want be rehabilitated the person retorn to prison.
When you kill one person and discover that is inocent, no turning back and this is an error.

In my opinion, our oral presentation is good because we explain clearly. The bad thing is that we reads a bit and this is a bad point.
Also, a thing that is improve is the time because only lasts 5 minutes.
In theory the presentation must lasts 10 minutes.
The parts that is copy, we don't understand all the words because the vocabulary is too dificult.
Finally I say that it is a good presentation, but there are things that is improving.
