    I realized that you confused "survey-style opinion" questions with "research" questions. Many of these questions can easily be converted to questions that your research can seek answers to, but others simply ask for opinions. The purpose of these questions was to focus your research and give it some direction.

    Your question "Is your country democratic?" can be converted into something like "Are democratic countries more (or less) likely to have the death penalty?, which is a fascinating question.

Death Penalty from 3 perspectives

  P erspective 1. murder victim's family who is against death penalty HI, I am the mother of Julie Heath. The last time anyone saw our daughter, Julie Heath alive was Oct. 3, 1993. She was 18-year-old and set out to visit her boyfriend in Hot Springs, Arkansas. A week later, a hunter discovered Heath’s body, less than eight miles from where her broken-down car was found. She wore a black shirt, socks and underwear, but they were inside-out. Her black jeans were partially unzipped. Her throat was slashed. Police later arrested Eric Randall Nance for Heath’s murder.

Not only the convicted person but also their family's life changes too. They had to sell the house and move away. She also talks about the sadness and ignorance of people7s atittude towards internet that they could be so careless about hurting someone. Was there every a time where you doubted Matt’s innocence? Can you tell us why or why not? She said that she knew the very second that I heard about he was not involved in such a crime, but at the same time, there were some thoughts made her confused and emotional. Later, they had a private visit with Matt, he told them what happened on the day, there were many truth and facts which could reainforce his innocence. Why do you want the death penalty to be ended? A civilized country which is the place we are supposed to be living - she says. Nobody has rights to tak...

  5 pm Execution witness arrive. Any people such as journalists, victim's family, or the prisoner's family/loved ones are allowed to watch the execution. They enter the room and told to be quiet.  6pm - 8 pm It is a time for the last walk for the prisoner. Times are different depending on the state. They have to walk from the death hoouse to the execution room. Most of the prisoners manage to walk by their own feet for a few steps, they are still srounded by 5 guards. 15 minutes before.. This is the time when the lethal injection is being prepared.  Minutes before.. The curtains between the room for execution and the witness room are drawn, and the prisoner is allowed to give their final statements. "But not all States allow long - or any time at all. Kentucky grants two minutes, while Pennsylvania only allows inmates a written statement - the time for talking is done. (Mirror, 2020)" Time for execution The straps on the chair are put around the prisoner, and their li...
