Torture In Egypt

In Abu Ghraib prison, the detainees were beaten with brooms and fists. They would often make the inmates walk around naked and make them have oral sex with the other inmates and make them masturbate. Some of the inmates would be handcuffed to their cells with no toilets, water, or windows for no reason at all. They would also make the prison to have on little to no close. The inmates were also threatened with rape. The guards were given permission to stitch wounds after the inmates had been bullied in their cells. The most common form of torture was making the prisoners walk around naked for humiliation purposes. I feel like this type of treatment should not be dished out by the guards because the obviously the inmates have done nothing to

“A Case For Torture” is an essay written by Michael Levin in which he tries to make a compelling case for the use of torture as a punishment during specific situations in the United States. Levin cites different hypothetical situations in order to logically prove his argument. His use of theoretical instances is meant to help direct the reader to an understanding of the applications of his policy on torture. The examples he uses include a hypothetical terrorist attack on Manhattan and hospital robbery. But unfortunately, the examples Levin cites lack strength due to their inapplicability to the current world. Equally important, in today’s terrorist centered climate, there is no room for Levin’s position on torture. Michael Levin in “A Case For Torture” is not logically convincing in his discussion as to why torture is a valid form of punishment, because his assertions rely too heavily on the speculative, and are not contemporary enough for use in modern times.

Torture falls under the category of cruel and unusual punishment, however circumstance can sway the attitude towards the use of torture. The most prevalent example in society, as well as the one used in the article “The Torture Debate” by Philip Rumney and Martin O’Boyle is terrorism. Based on the information presented in the article I agree that a legalized torture system should be developed under specific

Means of torture have been used around the world for a number of years. At one point in time it had been terminated in the United States; however, after the events of September 11, 2001, it has come back as an acceptable way to acquire information from terrorists.

Maria, I agreed with you on some points. Howeve,r I think that torture will not always lead to the truth. First, the US is a country that respects human rights, and torture is a method that goes against human rights. Torture someone will not always lead to the true. Some people lie just because they are being tortured by giving false information. Furthermore, torture can lead to death and maybe the person being torture is the only one that can provide the information needed. I believe that there is another way out to find the true. I agree with you that sometimes innocent people are tortured just because they suspect that they can provide some information that can lead to the one needed.

In the article “The Case for Torture” Michael Levin presents an argument for the usage of non-traditional interrogation methods such as physical torture in order to prevent “future evils”1. His approach paints a vivid scenario of how the use of human torture can be used to gain information that may prevent future tragedies and possibly save lives. Though written in 1982, Levin’s editorial provides a striking comparison of activates that have taken place since Sept. 11, 2001. It is the objective of this paper to present an unbiased argument against Michael Levin’s views and give a clear perceptive of how human torture is unacceptable during any state of affairs.

The use of torture has been the subject of debate for centuries. With the growth of terrorism in recent years, the debate has become hotter as people justify torture or forbid it. There is no question, however, that the use of torture on captured criminals has reduced potential attacks on innocent civilians. Idebate.org contests that “With the use of modern technologies by intelligence services and the co-operation and exchanges of information between different intelligence agencies around the world, the likelihood of catching the wrong person has slimmed significantly.” This means that the terrorist in question is almost certainly the culprit. It is reasonable that torture be used on people that have homicidal intentions. Torture is necessary in today’s society due to the increase of violence because terrorists disregard the law, the time-ticking bomb scenario, and the fact that torture can deter other potential terrorists.

takes place in a utopia in medieval times and there is a tyrant leader named tipit(タイプ)He rose to power by murder and bribe, he is corrupt and uses his advisers magic to do whatever he wants. He heard about the magical helmet and wants it for himself because he had never been able to use magic the kingdom thinks, Because you are not allowed to use magic when you are king. But what they don't know is that he is a master and is very good at it. He throne sits in the capitol although he is never there. He always goes “hunting” where he sneaks out of the kingdom to do bribes and since it's a utopia they think there's no magic, no war, no death but they know crime. The king's magic is torture. A master of torture is super deadly and can be very

The Center for Victims of Torture does great, admirable work. The groups purpose is to heal and rehabilitate, with a mission statement to “rebuild the lives and restores the hope of people who survive torture and war atrocities”. The group helps hundreds upon hundreds of families every single year and their goal is to keep this number exponentially rising. They have felled no scandal nor any less than savory business practices. That had me wondering though, seeing as this group is so genuinely impressive, how come I’d never heard of them up until this assignment? Then it struck me, the CVT has a branding problem. One I believe sprouts from the name itself.

We think about the torture and our chest aches with grief. Feeling helpless to stop it, we cry. The moment that we see the fear, the pain in their eyes when we see the blood pooling around the voiceless' shivering body, we are consumed by the horror, robbed of our happiness, we are left heart broken.

When I decided to pick topics for my assignments I originally chose Ancient Greece, however, when I began researching there were not enough quality, peer reviewed research to use. Due to this, I changed my topic to Ancient Egypt since it is a relatively well known topic. My research questions for this topic were: What are the death, burial, and afterlife beliefs and rituals of Ancient Egyptians, and how are these topics interconnected? I gathered sources to answer my research questions from the UNC Charlotte Library catalog. As required, they were all peer reviewed articles. The search terms used included Ancient Egypt, death, burial rituals, tombs, and mummies. Luckily, these search terms were specific enough that I did not have to revise

Every human being has its rights protected by human rights conventions, and not being tortured is one of them. As such, torture should not be allowed in any case. A violation of a fundamental human right today may lead to more human rights violations in the future, and this is something that none of us wants. We are all equal in front of the law, and no one has the right to treat somebody else less than that, no matter part of which government s/he is or who s/he represents. According to the people who are against torture, no matter if a person is responsible for what s/he is being accused for, this should not in any case be used as a justification for torture. S/he should be sent to the court and should be judged according to the international laws. Another argument against the use of torture is that torture is cruel and immoral. No matter who are we dealing with, torture is something we should not use in any case. By using torture, you’re not only doing something immoral, but it also contributes to our society losing values. Torture is something that criminals use to obtain information from hostages. By torturing people, we are using the same means that terrorist use to get information from captured hostages. Torture is terrorism itself, and we don’t want to fight terrorism with torture. By using the same means that criminals do, aren’t we in a way being exactly like them?!

In conclusion, torture is a good interrogation strategy in many situations or cases. Americans, Chinese, North Koreans, North Vietnamese, and Muslim extremists

On the other hand, the use of modern technologies and the high transfer between different agencies all over the universe with high speed and accuracy so these techniques decrease the level of having inaccurate information and evidence and also decrease the risk of arresting a wrong person. Furthermore many people agree that torture is acceptable since it can save others life. Supporting that idea and according to (Dershowitz),torture should be used as a last hope in order to help others innocent people lives and it should be done at public, with liability, and the president should approve on it .Furthermore, Torture is acceptable if the evidence leads that it is the only way in order to save good pure people ,than torture in this case is justified and acceptable since it will help others and this is the right thing that the government could do in order to save innocent person and its better than allowing the offender to keep the information (Bagaric, 2005) . Finally, torture can save hundreds of innocent people whose lives is in danger because of people who have information and evidence about something that going to happen and they won’t talk unless they are tortured
