NEVER AGAIN. Summary

The public opinion about capital punishment devides people in Britain nearly into two groups: those who 'for' and those who 'against'.

The first pro-hanging argument is the deterrence theory, which states that potential murderers would think twice before commiting a crime if they knew that they would be executed if they were caught.

Next is the idea of public security, which state that if there would be a death penalty, a convict would not be set free and not be able to go on to murder again.

What is more, if a murderer intentionally sets out to commit a crime, he should accept the consequences.

The fourth main pro-hanging argument is the most cold-blooded: it makes economic sense to hang convicted murderers rather, then have them in prison wasting taxpayers' money.

The arguments against the death penalty are largely humanitarian. The main argument against reintroducing capital punishment is that innocent people are sometimes wrongly convicted and, while people can be releast from prison, they cannot be brought back from the dead if they have been hanged.

The other reason to oppose the death penalty that the state has no more right to take a life than the individual, indeed, the state should set an example to the individual by not taking lives.

Amnesty International

Amnesty International (AI) is a worldwide movement of people who compain for internationally recognized human rights. Amnesty International's vision is of a world in which every person enjoys all of the human rights enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and other international human rights standards.

AI aims to protect human rights around the world and works towards the release of political prisoners and prisoners of conscience through letter- writting compaigns and public events.

AI activities range from public demonstrations to letter-writing, from human rights education to fundraising concerts, from individual appeals on a particular case to global campaigns on a particular issue.

Amnesty International has a varied network of members and supporters around the world. At the latest count, there were more then 2,2 million members, supporters and subscribers in over 150 countries and territories in every region of the world. Although they come from many different backgrounds and have widely different political and religious beliefs, they are united by a determination to work for a world where everyone enjoys human rights.

What is more, AI is independent of any government, political ideology, economic interest or religion. It does not support or oppose any government or political system, nor does it support or oppose the views of the victims whose rights it seeks to protect. It is concerned solely with the impartial protection of human rights.

In Lithuania Amnesty International concerns about violence against women, “anti-terrorism” measures, protection for asylum-seekers and the rights of conscientious objectors were among those raised by international monitoring bodies.

In conclusion, AI is very important compain all over the world, which take care about everyone from all over the world.

My future profession

I am a student of Mykolas Romeris University, faculty of Social policy and I study Law and Penitential work.
Law shapes our lives in lots of ways. It provides protection from harm, compensation for injury and accidents and even meets with our closest relationships with others. Lawyers have a big responsibility to keep the law important to the needs of a changing society. As a student of law, later, as a lawyer, I will be challenged to think about the questions which are important to our future.So, to study law is a big challenge to me.
I chose to study law because, first of all, a law degree is one of the most well-respected profession. Studying law improves your clarity of thought, ability to analyse and express complicated ideas.
In my opinion, this is a perspective profession, because a good lawyer is a builter of better tomorrow.
