The document discusses capital punishment and methods of execution. It provides definitions and examples of crimes that may warrant the death penalty, such as murder, terrorism, and child trafficking. Both religious and secular justifications for and against capital punishment are outlined. Modern methods of execution described include lethal injection, electrocution, and hanging.
The document discusses the history and use of the death penalty. It notes that the earliest references to the death penalty come from the Code of Hammurabi from the 18th century BC, which listed 25 crimes punishable by death such as boiling, burning, hanging, and drawing. By the 10th century, hanging became the predominant method of execution in Britain. Some countries still use the death penalty for acts of terrorism and murder. However, critics argue that the death penalty is discriminatory as poor people and racial/religious minorities are more likely to receive it due to unfair treatment in legal systems. It is also used politically by some governments to punish opponents. The document concludes that only God can judge people and that the death penalty
Capital punishment has existed since ancient times. It was brought to America in 1608. Support reached a low in 1966 amidst changes to capital punishment laws and procedures in the 20th century. Proponents argue it deters crime, saves lives, and provides closure for families. However, others argue it is more costly than life imprisonment, risks executing innocent people, and fails to allow for rehabilitation. Both sides present compelling arguments on this complex issue.
The document discusses the history and arguments for and against capital punishment in the United States. It notes that in the past, the federal government regulated the death penalty but now individual states decide whether to implement it.

The document discusses the history and current state of capital punishment in the United States. It notes that the death penalty has been used as a form of punishment since the Code of Hammurabi and was brought to the US by Britain during colonization. While the death penalty was suspended in 1972 after being deemed "cruel and unusual," states rewrote statutes to allow it to continue. The document lists some common methods of execution and argues that the death penalty acts as a deterrent for crime, allows for retribution for victims' families, and prevents recidivism among criminals. It urges people to vote for legislators who support keeping capital punishment.
Capital punishment refers to the execution of individuals convicted of capital crimes by the state. Historically, methods like hanging, beheading, and firing squad were used more frequently up until the 1950s-60s when support began declining. The 1973 Furman v. Georgia Supreme Court case found the death penalty to constitute "cruel and unusual punishment." Today, debates continue around the morality and constitutionality of capital punishment, with arguments on both sides. While some states have abolished it, others like Florida maintain among the highest execution rates, usually by means of lethal injection. Going forward, the author hopes people will recognize the death penalty as immoral given risks of irreversible mistakes.
The document discusses the history and methods of the death penalty in the United States. It notes that the death penalty has existed since biblical times and the first execution in the US was of Captain George Kendall for spying for Spain. Currently, 38 states use different execution methods like lethal injection, electrocution, or firing squad. Supporters argue that the death penalty deters crime and serves as "an eye for an eye" form of justice, while opponents note its impact on the families of both the victim and the convicted criminal. The document asks readers to consider how their views might change if their own family was involved.
The execution of the innocent believed guilty is a miscarriage of justice that must be opposed whenever detected.
But such miscarriage of justice cannot warrant abolition at the death penalty. The advantages outweigh the disadvantages, human activities including the penal system with all its punishments are morally justified. It is necessary to protect the rights of a group of people, death penalty is vital to protect a person’s right to live. If not so, then is the arresting someone same as kidnapping someone?

Lifting the Corporate Veil. Power Point Presentationseri bangash
"Lifting the Corporate Veil" is a legal concept that refers to the judicial act of disregarding the separate legal personality of a corporation or limited liability company (LLC). Normally, a corporation is considered a legal entity separate from its shareholders or members, meaning that the personal assets of shareholders or members are protected from the liabilities of the corporation. However, there are certain situations where courts may decide to "pierce" or "lift" the corporate veil, holding shareholders or members personally liable for the debts or actions of the corporation.
Here are some common scenarios in which courts might lift the corporate veil:
Fraud or Illegality: If shareholders or members use the corporate structure to perpetrate fraud, evade legal obligations, or engage in illegal activities, courts may disregard the corporate entity and hold those individuals personally liable.
Undercapitalization: If a corporation is formed with insufficient capital to conduct its intended business and meet its foreseeable liabilities, and this lack of capitalization results in harm to creditors or other parties, courts may lift the corporate veil to hold shareholders or members liable.
Failure to Observe Corporate Formalities: Corporations and LLCs are required to observe certain formalities, such as holding regular meetings, maintaining separate financial records, and avoiding commingling of personal and corporate assets. If these formalities are not observed and the corporate structure is used as a mere façade, courts may disregard the corporate entity.
Alter Ego: If there is such a unity of interest and ownership between the corporation and its shareholders or members that the separate personalities of the corporation and the individuals no longer exist, courts may treat the corporation as the alter ego of its owners and hold them personally liable.
Group Enterprises: In some cases, where multiple corporations are closely related or form part of a single economic unit, courts may pierce the corporate veil to achieve equity, particularly if one corporation's actions harm creditors or other stakeholders and the corporate structure is being used to shield culpable parties from liability.

Capital punishment
• The human declaration of human rights – 1948
• Article 3 : Everyone has the right to life , liberty and security of
a person
• Article 5 : No one shall be subjected to torture or to cruel ,
inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment.

• For:
• Capital punishment has a deterrent effect . Fear of the death
penalty will keep potential murderers from committing the
crime.

punishment has a deterrent effect.
• In fact, U.S. states that abolished the death penalty have lower
homicide rates than retentionist states, as do countries
without the death penalty
• Retribution :
• For :
• “An eye for an eye , a tooth”. Justice means to give someone a
taste of their own medicine.
22. Continue…
• Against :
• If we give back to the perpetrator what he gave the victim , we
would prove to be no better than the offender.

harm to a person guilty of assault.

thereby threatening the continued existence of modern
civilization and culture.

they often apply is an effort to martyr themselves for their
cause , which for them is mean of “ salvation .”

• In a democratic system , the will of the people must be
headed – in most US states the majority favor capital
punishment.
24. Continue…
• Against :
• Public opinion is dangerous by nature , as ‘opinion’ is not an
equivalent to knowledge
• Human instinct must not be disavowed ; however , when it
comes to institutions such as legal system , decisions should
not be based upon it.
25. Continue…
• The cot for life in prison :
• For:
• Hardened criminals have it nice and easy in a “cushy”
environment complete with TV and are fed with taxpayers
money .
• We should not waste taxpayers money on lengthy
incarceration
• Against :
• Currently , in the US the cost of an execution from the start of
