Taiwanese Column: Starting from the Death Penalty Abolition Alliance, This World is Not Simple at All
This article uses the "death penalty" issue as an example to discuss the problem of "black-and-white" extremism in social issues. The author, while not opposing the abolition of the death penalty, emphasizes that "the system itself must be respected." The article criticizes the Death Penalty Abolition Alliance for its crude and "overly superficial" handling of the issue, merely "negating" the death penalty without proposing alternative solutions acceptable to the public to achieve a balance between "perpetrators" and "victims." The article concludes that if a "seemingly" win-win strategy cannot be provided, or if one refuses to consider the opponent"s perspective, it will only intensify social polarization, creating a huge chasm.
