First, in the long run, human traffickers deserve the death penalty
The trade of human traffickers has existed since ancient times. This evil-filled industry has ruined many families, and when it comes to traffickers, people will hate it, grit their teeth, and wish they could put it to death and then hurry.
According to the provisions of China's Criminal Law, whoever commits the abduction and trafficking of women and children shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than five years and shall be fined, "if the circumstances are particularly serious, he shall be sentenced to death and confiscated property." In other words, after traffickers are caught trafficking in human beings, they are not all sentenced to death.
I heard that for such a reason, if the traffickers were sentenced to death, they might force the traffickers to break the jar at the last moment, but it was the death penalty anyway, and the abducted children were simply killed.
At first glance, this statement seems to make sense, but it can't help but be carefully scrutinized.
First, according to this theory, murderers cannot be sentenced to death, but they are all death sentences anyway, so it is better to kill more people;
Arsonists cannot be sentenced to death, because they are executed anyway, so simply set a few more fires;
If this theory continues, the lawbreakers and criminals will not be caught, because they are afraid of doing more extreme things.
Second, if the death penalty is not imposed, the traffickers may think: What is wrong with human trafficking, don't be afraid, anyway, don't sentence the death penalty, it's okay, continue.
So, this view is absurd.
So why do traffickers have to be sentenced to death?
1, traffickers are directly leading to the destruction of the family, the parents of abducted children spend their whole lives in guilt, regret, and pain, and the mental and spiritual trauma of losing children is difficult to heal for a lifetime; abducted children are forced to be separated from their biological parents, and that fear will accompany them for a lifetime.
Other criminal offences such as robbery, theft, fraud, which cause loss of property, while money is nothing more than external objects; human traffickers are even more harmful than drug dealers. Drug traffickers do not necessarily directly harm people, and for those who do not use drugs, drugs do not work at all.
2, human traffickers are to abduct children as a business to do, since it is a business, we must consider whether to do this business to make money, whether it is cost-effective.
The traffickers who abduct and sell children only pay a few rhetoric, or some candy snacks or take advantage of the lack of preparation to forcibly take the children away, and the money earned should be tens of thousands of yuan.
But if human trafficking is sentenced to death, then the payment and the benefits are not proportional, no one will do it, in order to put the money on the life, the traffickers think it is better to go to fraud!
Actually, it's a multiple choice question.
From the perspective of the current individual, in the short term, not sentencing the trafficker to death is to give the victim a chance to live, but if the current victim is given a chance to live, then it will leave a hidden danger for most potential victims in the future.
In the long run, not sentencing traffickers to death will only condone the criminal acts of traffickers.
Therefore, in the long run, if traffickers catch it, the death penalty will have the potential to curb the ugly behavior of human trafficking.
Second, from a holistic perspective, saving Private Ryan is not necessarily right
Spielberg's "Saving Private Ryan" is an epic blockbuster of the war that saves and is saved.
The U.S. military discovered that four brothers from a family named Ryan had gone to war, two had been killed in Normandy and one in New Guinea, and their poor old mother would receive three death notices in one day, while James Ryan, the youngest of the brothers, had been airdropped behind enemy lines and his whereabouts unknown. When the Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army, Gen. George Marshall, learned of this, he decided to send an eight-man search and rescue team to find his youngest son, Ryan, and send him back to the rear.
From the national level of the United States, the significance of this film is that eight people save one person, not a simple math problem, but every life deserves to be respected, which is the real meaning of saving Ryan.
But from our personal standpoint, how do we choose when we encounter such a thing?
This is also a multiple choice question.
Perhaps because of the differences in concepts and cultures between China and the West, Americans pay more attention to individual human rights, and Chinese pay more attention to the spirit of "giving up a small family for everyone".
During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the family of Dai Wanling, a landlord in the northeast, saved the country and survived when all the people in the northeast were abandoned by the Nationalist government, heroically killed the enemy, and led their six sons to the battlefield in order to resist Japan.
In 1937, Dai Wanling was captured, tortured, indomitable, and finally martyred.
Boss Dai Keqin Anti-League Company Commander Dongning died in battle!
The second oldest, the commander of the Anti-Corruption League, died in 1939!
The commander of the old third DaiKeji Anti-League was killed in the winter of 1937!
The commander of the old fourth Deikezhi Anti-League was wounded in a battle in 1935, and was seriously wounded and died!
Old Five was ordered to spy on the enemy's internal intelligence, and was found dead in 1937!
Old Six Zheng died in 1938!
Full of loyal martyrs! What a role model for my generation!
Dai Wanling knew that if he did not rise up to resist, the Japanese invaders would have to exterminate our "subjugation of the country and extinction of the species" and "under the cover of the nest, there will be a complete egg"? In this case, the safety and happiness of individuals and families is really not a big deal.
In the movie "Eight Hundred", the Japanese army set up a steel plate array on the ground floor of the Sihang warehouse, preparing to blast the building with explosives.
At this critical moment, Chen Shusheng, a soldier of the Nationalist Army, tied up a cluster grenade and jumped downstairs to die with the Japanese army.
Next, the warriors followed Chen Shusheng's example, and shouted as they jumped down with their grenades tied tightly: "Hubei Tongcheng Li Mancang!" Mother, the child is not filial piety! Hunan Liuyang King Jindou! My name is Zhao Mengliang! My name is Liu Beiwu! Hubei Tongcheng Sun Shoucai! mother! I'm gone! "This tragic and magnificent scene can't help but make people cry!
On the other side of the Suzhou Creek, the people watched this fierce battle with tears in their eyes and cheered for the brothers of the National Army. A generation of female Jie He Xiang condensed his face and sighed solemnly: "Everyone in the country is like this, how dare Wu Kou." This sentence can be said to be the essence of the whole film, the main idea.
Those soldiers who jumped down the stairs and died with the Japanese army also had parents, wives and children, and they also had a vision of a better life in the future, but the Japanese were vicious, the mountains were broken, and everything personal had to be put aside first.
Back to the film "Saving Private Ryan", because there is only one person left among the brothers, the remaining one will go back, so who will defend the motherland and who will defend the family, if there is only one son in many families, then this battle will not be fought?
Therefore, whether it is a human trafficker or a country in difficulty, when the nation survives, we must consider the problem from the long-term and the overall situation, of course, from the long-term overall situation, we will definitely sacrifice and hurt local interests, but the lesser of the two evils.
