“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere” – Martin Luther King Jr
Through out history the death penalty has always played a prominent part from the first recording in 16th century BC ancient Egypt to now where capital punishment is still carried out in 21 countries world wide. Not only has this become one of the biggest ethical issues of our time it still remains a huge political issue. Such an inhumane legal act must leave huge implications on our society and the families that this directly affects. Does the threat of death really deter crime, from statistics and the rise of inmates we can suggest not? And what about the numerous cases where prisoners have been release from death row and acquitted of their crimes, do we really want to live in a world where the innocence are put to death all for the sake of vengeance. “An eye for an eye will make the whole world blind”

I am looking to argue about Same sex marriage.
I don't think there are any reason to disagree to Same sex reason.
Some people care some might not, but I want to look in further and argue that there are no problems to same sex marriage.

Here are some arguments that I may wish to investigate further/ expand on:
Statistically, the number of abortions does not change, regardless of whether they are performed in countries where it's legal or illegal, so for the safety of vulnerable women, abortion clinics should be open and available to everyone.
People who are anti-abortion should focus on contraception instead of closing abortion clinics.
Women shouldn't be forced into keeping a child that they cannot/ do not wish to support.
Pro-choice is fair, because if a woman personally doesn't want to have an abortion, she doesn't have to. Other people's choices do not affect her (or anyone else) personally.
An unborn fetus is not a human being, and cannot feel pain.

New Zealand drinking age debate.
I want to discuss the on going argument of where the drinking age should be in New Zealand. My opinion is that purchase of alcohol from supermarkets/liquor stores should be at 20 Years old, but being able to drink at bars and restaurants etc should stay at 18. I believe this would control drinkers at the age who tend to loose control when they drink, when cheaper alcohol is at such easy access.
