Death penalty for serious criminals has been discussed by our experts. Those who agree say that death penalty will scare the criminals off. However, those who disagree say that it is inhuman, not effective and we cannot correct the wrong sentence after the criminals die.

In Switzerland, this penalty does not exist. Most people argue that the possibility of making the wrong decision is always there although it is true that spending life behind the bars is not easy either. Also, every person should have a chance for rehabilitation. In this way, he or she can start all over again in another life style.

Those who agree argue that there is no use to feed the terrorists in prison with their money. When they get out, they will create a lot of trouble by blackmailing or killing people. So, who says that jails will stop them from being bad guys?

Text 3 is for questions no 24 – 27.

Drugs users are usually ill people who need to be helped. Rehabilitation is one of the main things that they should get. Instead of punishing and stacking them in prisons which are getting full, the government should provide rehabilitation for them.

Most users actually victims of persuasive peddlers and they suffer from consuming the drugs. Therefore, by rehabilitating them, we are actually helping them out of trap, which they might accidentally step on. They then, can start a normal life again.

On the other hand, if we only arrest drug users and send them to jail it doesn’t solve the problem because the drug users will still be addicted unless being properly treated. Jail will be filled up with drug users. Moreover, the user will still be users after being released from prison. They then, will be arrested again.

All earths and material on a slope has an ‘angle of repose’, or an angle at which that materiak will remain stable. Loose dry rock remains in place at angles up to 30 degrees, but wet clay will start to slip at more than 1 or 2 degree inclinations. Landslides are the sudden dwnohill movements of earth or other solid material, and are usuallycaused by rain, thaws, or forses either increasingthe top material layers, or making the slope too steep. They can be triggered by earthquakes, saturation with rain, or crasing waves. History’s largest and most destructive landslides have been caused by earthquakes that started the material moving. Excessive rainfall or snowmelt, however, is also known to satuate and lubricate soil on steep angles. Rapid temperature changes can also cause land to slide by alternatively shring king and expanding soil formations, or by forming ice heaves between layers of rock. Forest fires are indirectly responsible for landslide because they take away slope vegetation, making erosion easier. Man can also cause slides by mining the earth, underground excavation, pumping and groundwater levels or overdeveloping hillsides.
