SLIDE 1 Pitch Martin Luther king once said, the old
law of an eye for an eye will leave the
world blind. This got me thinking
because in many aspects in our society
we are a little bit blind. There is no
justice in killing in the name of
justice. One does not right a wrong by

introduction no choice in that, but we do get to
choose whether to kill or not and
capital punishment is the most
premeditated murder of all.
**introduction** and I study law at
the university of applied sciences in
Leiden. Today I am taking you
through a journey about the impact of
the death penalty on society and
express my personal opinion on the
subject.
SLIDE 3 Structure of I will start off with a little bit of
pecha kucha information regarding the origin and
progression of the death penalty. Then
we will talk about its impact in our
society. I will introduce you to a
theory of a new system which could
drastically affect the crimes which
punished by the death penalty, and we
will conclude with my personal
opinion on the subject.
SLIDE 4 Early history of Death penalty dates all the way back
death penalty to the 18th century B.C. We are talking
about the era of Babylon. Throughout
the years capital punishment evolved
in many ways, from burning at the
stake, to drowning, crucifixion and
impalement. You name it, it was used
as capital punishment for a variety
crimes.
