Description
For the discussion board assignment this week, you should start with a brief summary of the module readings and video. Your summary should be about 150 words. Then, write about 150 word response to the following prompt:
Will the death penalty ever be abolished in all jurisdictions in the United States? If yes, what will cause its abolition?
You must also respond to at least (2) of your classmates’ posts, in a substantive manner. You will not be able to respond to your classmates’ posts if you have not submitted an original post of your own. Therefore, in order to receive any points for responses to your classmates’ posts, you must submit an original post for this module. Your response posts should propel the conversation started by your classmate forward. Since response posts are a content-based grade, the length matters less than the content. It would, however, be difficult to earn full credit without writing at least three sentences in a response post.
General Assignment Instructions:
Please type your response using correct spelling, grammar, and syntax. Please cite all sources you use (including the course textbook) using APA format.
