BlogWeek2 Nature Vs Nurture

Trayvon Martin’s killer put him in a stereotype.  Nature vs. Nurture plays a big part in Trayvon’s killing. I feel that this is a chase of Nurture because the environment and the surrounding around the two had a very impact on the shooting. The environment around them may have been in a good neighborhood but because of a lot of violence and crimes that happen every were the killer put in his head that Trayvon was just another “criminal, man one on drugs, or robber” just because the color of Trayvon’s skin. The rest of the society is very uneasy because what happened. The community and around the world felt that, the shooting was uncalled for and racist. The killer said on the 911 call, Trayvon looked suspicious because it was raining and he was walking around looking at houses also that it looked like he was caring a gun. When police arrived the only thing Trayvon had in his front hoodie pocket was a pop and skittles. Trayvon had no priors or no criminal record. Trayvon might have had a bad day so he was walking around or he went to go buy a snack and something to drink and it happened to be raining. Then so guy happened to see him and think bad and put him in a stereotype of a bad African American and took it into his own hands. This is, were nature takes play there has to be something wrong in a man’s head to just kill someone walking down sidewalk. The killer could of easily waited for the police to show up and handle this “suspicious boy” with killing a innocent member of society 

Execution Debate (Brianna)

Execution Debate

I don’t feel the death penalty helps prevent crimes because if someone isn’t scared to do a crime big enough to receive the death penalty then they are not scared to die. I do feel it helps get bad people off this world. If someone is to kill another person intentionally and get away with it then most then likely they will do it again. There for why allow them to live, so they can kill innocent people for self-satisfaction. Also taxes payers shouldn’t have to pay to keep bad people locked up until they die. Some one can live for a long time.

The families of crime victims should not be able to administer the death penalty or be the one to pull the switch. It is confect of interest; it wouldn’t be considered the right thing to do. Just because someone killed/hurt their family member it would give them any closure or make them feel any better by killing the person at fault. End the end they would feel bad and be as bad as the person who committed the crime. Also if the crime was not internal but the family felt it was it wouldn’t be right to hit the switch even though the person hurt/killed their family. A person that has lost a loved one by someone else then they would know how it feels to lose someone close and they shouldn’t want someone else to feel their pain. So they should just leave the executions up to a person that knows what they are doing.
