consciousness of social injustice,an intense,revolutionary opposition to totalitarianism(极权主义),a passion for clarity in language and a belief in democratic socialism.,4/60,Considered,perhaps the 20th centurys best chronicler of English culture,he wrote works in many different genres including novels,essays,polemic journalism,semi-sociological literary criticism,and poetry.His most famous works are,Homage to Catalonia,(1938);his personal account of his experiences and observations in the Spanish Civil War,the satirical novella,Animal Farm,(1945),the dystopian novel,Nineteen Eighty-Four,(1949),and his numerous essays.,Orwells influence on popular and political culture remains apparent,with numerous of his literary concepts,and the term Orwellian entering the popular vernacular.,5/60,Death Penalty,6/60,Death Penalty,7/60,Eight Main Methods of Execution Worldwide,1.Beheading:,Only two countries execute people by chopping their head off:Saudi Arabia and Iraq.,2.Electric chair:,(US only)Nobody knows how quickly a person dies from the electric shock,or what they experience.,3.Firing squad:,The prisoner is bound and shot through the heart by multiple marksmen.This method is used in Belarus,China,Somolia,Taiwan,Uzbekistan,Vietnam,and other countries.,8/60,4.Guillotine,(断头台):,A famous French invention,not used in North America.A machine with a heavy knife severs the neck.Death comes very quickly.,5.Hanging:,if properly conducted,this is a humane method.The neck is broken and death comes quickly.This method is used in Egypt,Iran,Japan,Jordan,Pakistan,Singapore and others.,6.Lethal injection:,Lethal drugs are injected into the prisoner while he lays strapped down to a table.This technique has been challenged recently by those who feel that the prisoner may not be rendered unconscious by the drugs.Lethal injection is also used in China,Guatemala,Philippines,and Thailand.,9/60,7.Poison gas:,Cyanide capsules are dropped into acid producing Hydrogen Cyanide,a deadly gas.This takes many minutes of agony before a person dies.,8.,Stoning:,The prisoner is often buried up to her or his neck and pelted with rocks until they eventually die.The rocks are chosen so that they are large enough to cause significant injury to the victim,but are not so large that a single rock will kill the prisoner.Stoning is used in Afghanistan and Iran,as a penalty for murder,adultery,blasphemy,and other crimes.,10/60,The Death Penalty Project,For more than twenty years the Death Penalty Project has worked to promote and protect the human rights of those facing the death penalty.The organisations main objectives are:,To provide free and effective legal representation and assistance to those individuals who are facing the death penalty;,To promote the restriction of the death penalty in line with international minimum legal requirements;,To uphold and develop human rights standards and the criminal law;andTo promote increased awareness and greater dialogue with key stakeholders on the death penalty.,11/60,All out against the death penalty,Tireless champion for the abolition of the death penalty throughout the world,the EU proposes a European day against the death penalty.,The EU wants to see the death penalty become a thing of the past everywhere on the planet.Its campaign is based on,respect for peoples dignity,regardless of their actions,as enshrined in the charter of fundamental rights.,As part of this campaign,the EU commission is proposing that 10October be not only the world day against the death penalty,but a European day too.,At the international conference to be held in Lisbon on 9 October,a joint declaration is to be signed by the EU and the,Council of Europe,to promote the universal abolition of the death penalty.,12/60,Understanding the Death Penalty in China,While there seems to be a ongoing debate in the Westas to whether or not the death penalty should be allowed to exist,most Chinese people seem to support the use of capital punishment in their country.For them,modern capital punishment in China is simply a more civilized way of enforcing what has always been an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth mentality in China.People should pay for their crimes.,Most Chinese people seem dislike the idea of leaving a prisoner in jail for life.For them,the idea of one less crook or fraudster on the streets of China seems to be quite pleasant.Chinese public opinion seems to be with the CCP on the issue of the death penalty.,Almost everyone in China is willing to do what it takes to lower the crime rates in their developing country.,13/60,Death Penalty
