im writing an essay on:should sex offenders be tracked after jail and i need help!!?

We Answered:

In my opinion I don't believe in sex offender registries. I believe in harsh sentencing. If a person is convicted of molesting children, they should get life. I also believe that sex offender registries violate ex post facto laws in some cases. For example, A man is convicted of sexual battery in 1979 , does his time, gets out and has a law abiding life. Then 25 years later the legislature enacts a law that requires this man to register as a sex offender. Keeps this man from visiting his grand children and makes him move because his house his within 2500 feet of a school.
Of course it's easy to hate a sex offender, but if society gives the government the go ahead to essentially violate that man's constitutional rights, you better believe it wont stop at sex offenders.
Another reason I don't believe in these registries is because it makes the community overreact to an otherwise petty charge like statutory rape. An 18 year old kid gets busted sleeping with his 16 year old girlfriend shouldn't be given a lifetime label like that. Should the kid get in trouble, sure, but he shouldn't be a pariah, and have any shot of having a future flushed down the toilet.
The fact of the matter is, if the punishment fits the crime, then there's no need for these registries. Why should a woman with small children be forced to live next to a convicted child molester? It's great that the government informs the woman so she knows, but why should she have to deal with that?
Why are the prosecutors too lazy to diligently prosecute a person who rapes a child and offers them a plea agreement that would make them eligible for release one day? Why can't the do their job and lock that scumbag up for life? Which would definitely protect society better than a website with his picture on it.
There is money to be made off of these registries, with the specialized parole officers trained to handle these special case loads and the instructors that train them, to the companies providing electronic monitoring or even the companies providing IT solutions that maintain the sex offender websites.
People seem to agree with these registries. Whatever it's their safety and tax dollars.

Ivan Said:

Can you choose a middle ground when writing a opinion essay?

We Answered:

In most cases I would say yes, you could choose a middle ground, unfortunately the teacher made the assignment to choose one side or the other, so I would choose one side and run with it weather you agree with it or not. If the teacher did say it was an opinion essay, strongly question weather or not you will get graded fairly if you write your opinion, otherwise, you may just have to bite the bullet and do what the teacher says. Good Luck, and have fun with it.

Thomas Said:

Do you have to have a yes/no opinion when writing an essay? HELP!?

We Answered:

The point of the essay, from the question you've provided, is to persuade the reader to think in a certain way and to believe what you've written. If you've constructed an essay that explains your opinion on why this novel would be suitable and recommended, but tack on the end that it may only be for the more competent students of Year 8, it would weaken your argument. All the persuasive techniques you put in before that would be watered down like cordial.

It's my opinion, and how I've been taught, that in assignments like these you need to be passionate and fully on board with what it's about. I personally think that you should write either fully agreeing or disagreeing, even if in your mind you see the shades of grey between the black and white.
