Your best bet is to outline the reasons that Capital Punishment is unjust. I would start with\n- inequities in the criminal justice system that lead to poor representation in the courtroom\n- racial biases that lead to biased juries and sentencing\n- police tactics that result in bad convictions \n- MOST IMPORTANT: the possibility of convicting those who are innocent (in Illinois, 13 people were released from death row when it was proved they were innocent)\n\nLook at Texas -- it is a picture perfect example of everything that is wrong with the Capital Punishment system.

I SO flunked a paper in college once on this subject.  I am in favor of capital punishment & my professor wrote that I "failed to make a compelling argument".  All I said was that child rapists/killers should be strung up by their balls & suspended mid-air until they die!!  Am I so wrong?\n\nForgive me, Lord, I was not brought up this way!  These are my own convictions & I stand by them!!

Your first paragraph should grab the reader's attention.  It should be interested and contain information about the subject to follow.  This is referred to as a "thesis."\nThis info is more for essays.\n\n"Motifs" are a great idea too.  Okay, for example, last night I was watching the Patriot, the introduction to the movie was Mel Gibson thinking about how his sin's would come back to haunt him.  After his son dies he makes reference to this again.  It has a very powerful effect.  Take note that motif's are used in literary works too.\nI would say that this is for a book.

you should write about mob mentality, how people do things they know are wrong or that they disagree with just because everyone else does it.  or something about following tradition despite moral or religious objection.

Well, the process of writing a research paper is to first determine if you are attempting to convince the reader of something (advocacy), or explore a concept neutrally from most perspectives.\n\nIf its advocacy, then decide what your position, and then figure out what it would take to prove that position. Your paper would start forth with a thesis statement, setting forth your position (what you intend to prove), and then give a summary of how you intend to go about it. Your outline would be the major points you need to prove, then for each the major arguments for and against. Your research supports those arguments. Then you conclude.\n\nIf it is a neutral exploration of the topic, then you start with a summary of the topic in general -- big picture overview. Your outline would be the major areas of discussion, or the major attributes of whatever you were describing, then sub-attributes/areas, etc. Follow normal outline format. \n\nExample: If you were writing a neutral paper about the US government, it could have the three major branches as the main topics, then for courts do state, federal district/appellate, and US Supreme, adding a section about how federal judges are appointed. However, if your paper were advocacy, say talking about the problems with federalism overriding states's rights, you might want to organize the paper by time periods: when did the states have the most rights, when/how/why did things change, etc. Or you might argue by topic: interstate commerce versus education versus welfare versus national guard. And so on.\n\nAs for terrorism, same thing. Are you advocating a position, or exploring a concept neutrally? Organize your paper appropriately.

U could write about the power struggle between the classes. U could write about the current state of healthcare. U could write about race relations. U could write about the typical american family, and how it's changed..and the troubles associated with it. U could also write about the struggles people have with the current administration. I'm sure u could find stuff on line, and in hard back. Check with ur instructor every step of the way.

Death Sentence = Capital Punishment

It depends on the expected length - as a rule, a 2000 word essay of about 3 or 4 pages should be planned with an introduction (similar to the summary at the end and should be written last of all so as to include a snippet of what will be in the whole report) and a basic relevant topic for each paragraph - there should be about 6 paragraphs, each with a decent link to the subject of the report. That's a good basis for a plan. Plan about 4 main points for each paragraph and then the report should write itself. Make sure you include foot notes if you're in secondary school and refer to sources of evidence (depending on the subject). I hope this was of help.

The assasination of the Austrian prince would be great for an essay - but a very long one. The assasination was more of a trigger on a gun, rather than the bullet, gun powder, and gun itself (as well as who was pointing it at whom) since there were a large variety of factors already staged for the beginning of World War I when this happened. The more I read about it, the more I realize what an expert one needs to be to explain it!\n\nHistorical questions are always complex, so I would shoot for something that appears as simple as possible - since it won't turn out that way, anyway. One example might be how slavery in our country caused the civil rights movement of the 1960's. Because of the distance of time between the events, the cause and effects are actually more sweeping and therefore, easier to see.

If you don't want to die, don't commit heinous acts, THAT is my personal opinion.

after you read the question, take a minute (literally, not more) to write a quick outline of your essay on some scrap paper or the margin- that way you'll know where you want to go with your essay, and you'll be able to leave out time-consuming stuff that doesn't add to your argument.  Beyond that, practice keeping an eye on the clock.\n\nWorked for me in AP history/government. Good luck.

a good thesis presents an argument of some kind, whether it be literary or on a certain issue.  for example, in a literature paper- "Shakespeare uses imagery of death in reference to Macbeth to convey a sense of foreboding and morbidity in the character."\nor in a paper on the death penalty: "The death penalty does more harm to our society than good, and should be abolished."  then you would go on to support your thesis.  i can give more help if you define what the thesis is for, but the idea is to make an assertion about your topic that you will be supporting throughout the paper.
