International law on same-sex couples International law through human rights law protects the right of intimate relations. This kind of protection is usually essential because it assures one of the rights to marriage, and at the same time, it gives one the right to private life as it prohibits discrimination of any form. If a person is not bisexual, then in many cases, the wish that one has to have an intimate relationship and live with it means that the person either wishes to live with a person of the same sex or to live with a person of the opposite sex. Nowadays, intimate relationships happen between people of the same sex i.e., same-sex couples and between different-sex couples. However, same-sex couples find it hard to get protection for their relationships since, over time, human rights treaties are usually interpreted, such that they only protect the rights of different-sex couples.

The Death Penalty Should be abolished Dees, Tim. “Should The United States Of America Abolish The Death Penalty?”. Forbes.Com, 2019, https://www.forbes.com/sites/quora/2012/10/30/should-the-united-states-of-america-abolish-the-death-penalty/#21c4213a547c. Capital punishment is the execution of an offender who has been found guilty and sentenced to death after a court conviction. The United States Supreme Court reaffirmed the constitutionality of capital punishment leading up to over 1,400 individuals executed so far. The proponents of capital punishment argue that it is an essential tool for the preservation of law and order, acts as a deterrence to crimes, and the cost-efficient as compared to life imprisonment. Moreover, retribution honors the victim, aids in consoling the victim’s families as well as ensuring the perpetrators’ heinous crimes do not pave the way for future tragedy. However, opponents such as Tim Dees posits that the capital penalty does not act as a deterrence to crimes better than punishment. If so, states that practice death penalties should have lower crime rates in crimes such as murder than those that do not (Dees). However, this is not the case. Further, the capital penalty is expensive. Dee argues…

How Do You Are Not Dreaming One can only understand when he is dreaming by comparing reality and dreaming by relating knowledge using senses. Truth on what is in one’s mind can only be validated using senses in interpreting what is happening around him. In the film of the matrix, characters are unable to verify their visual activities in mind by failing to attach it to the five senses, especially touch. Once one fails to relate his knowledge on the visualization by using the sense of touch and smell, it becomes difficult to understand whether it is a dream or reality (Mutz, and Javadi 3).
