Ethics: Capital punishment

Ethics: Capital punishment

james bulger case Two years after Troy Davis' execution, our fight to end the death penalty lives | Jen Marlowe and Kimberly Davis On 21 September 2011, the state of Georgia killed Troy Anthony Davis as the world looked on, aghast that Georgia was proceeding with the execution, overlooking a mountain of evidence that pointed towards Troy's innocence. While much of the world has moved on, we are still in the fight to end capital punishment. Those of us who loved Troy see this two-year anniversary as more than an opportunity to mourn the death of a good man. We see this day as a chance to reflect on what Troy posthumously achieved and the charge we must all take up in his name to end the immoral practice of the death penalty. Though he never wanted to be a martyr, Troy wanted to make certain that his execution would fuel a movement to end capital punishment in this country and around the world. Since 1973, 142 people have been released from death row throughout the country due to evidence of their wrongful conviction. Less than two months after he was killed, Oregon placed a moratorium on the death penalty.

Homework HW due 08/10/13 Ethics - Introduction to ethics: Ethics: a general introduction what is major and minor Question: What is the meaning of the major and minor in music? -E.Y. Answer: Major and minor can be used to refer to the greater and lesser versions of certain intervals (see question 48 on the difference between major and minor intervals) and you most often hear them used to describe the difference between music in a major key (music whose scale contains a major third upward from its "tonic," the starting note, so that the basic tonic chord is major) and music in a minor key (whose tonic chord is minor, since the scale on which it is based has a minor third from the starting note). The larger third that defines the major triad has a different emotional quality, it seems, from that of the smaller minor third that distinguishes the minor triad. There are other differences between the major and minor scales, of course, but the main thing is that tonic chord to which the music returns home so often.
