Never again

There are four main arguments which support capital punishment. Deterrence theory says that criminals will be afraid to commit a crime, because they will know that they can die too if they were caught. The idea of public security mean that convicted murderer won't be able to murder again, because he won't be set free. The other arguments are more disputable, because one says that criminals should pay for what they did and other that keeping them alive in prisons is a waist of money. First argument against is statistical, it shows that despite executions number the number of homucides are growing. Second argument is that people can be convicted incorrectly. And the last ones are grounded by people's conscience and belief, because state has to show an example of not taking lifes and all Christians have to forgive not to revenge.

My future profession

It's my first year at university and I exactly chose the university of Mykolas Romeris. I have never thought that one day I will be studying at this university, because I have always thought that I will be an actress. This profession is quite new and I liked it, because it's not just law it has exactly future work vision - work in imprisonment institutions. When I had to choose university and profession it was not easy to do, I had many variants where I want to study and I had serious thinking about my dream and future, acting won't give me strong foundation to live and this profession that I am studying will. So, Mykolas Romeris university won, or maybe I won, because now I'm in Vilnius, in capital of
Lithuania and I'm studying at the greatest university in Lithuania.
