The document discusses arguments for and against the death penalty in the United States. It notes that the US is one of few countries that still uses capital punishment and executes more people than nations like China, Iran, and Saudi Arabia. Arguments against the death penalty include that it is applied arbitrarily and in a racially discriminatory manner, amounts to cruel and unusual punishment, and violates international human rights laws. The document also discusses the high financial costs of the death penalty compared to life imprisonment without parole.Mahatma gandhi ppt

Mahatma Gandhi was born in 1869 in India. He studied law in England and South Africa, where he experienced racism and fought for the rights of Indians and South Africans. When he returned to India, he led nonviolent movements to gain independence from British rule through civil disobedience and non-cooperation. Gandhi's philosophy emphasized truth, non-violence, brotherhood, and fearlessness. He believed education's role was to develop character, dignity of labor, leadership skills, and spiritual growth for both individuals and society.Ppt mahatma gandhi

Mohandas Gandhi was born in 1869 in Gujarat, India. He faced racism as a lawyer in South Africa, which turned him toward non-violent activism. He led non-violent campaigns for Indian rights in South Africa and then India that weakened British control and ultimately led to India's independence, though the country was partitioned, leading to violence. Gandhi continued non-violent campaigns and fasts to reduce tensions until his assassination in 1948.Purpose of life
Purpose of lifeLadyDiana Fung
?
The document questions what the true purpose of life is, as acquiring expensive possessions and food will not fulfill one in the long run. As people grow older, their health declines and memories fade. Instead, the document suggests that truly making an impact and leaving behind a legacy that inspires people for generations is a more worthwhile purpose than fleeting material gains. The question of what the real purpose of one's life remains open.Ad
