Youth Clubs and Globalization

I think the creation and development of youth clubs in order to preserve the right of young single men towards the marriageable women of the city is an interesting response to a problem.
What makes it interesting to me is that the development would and could never happen in a modern First world country today. Taking away the feminist movement and the equal rights that everyone shares now, the youth clubs would still never be resorted to.
The lack of mobility that people as a whole had to deal with during the the Medieval period and into the Renaissance era had a extreme influence on their lives. Where ever someone was born had a large effect on many different outcomes of their life, including potential marriage candidates. A problem that would not ever reveal itself during modern times because of the increased mobility options, not only with increased physical mobility with cars, trains, plains and other means of transportation but also the game changer that is the Internet. Those changes make the fear of only having a limited number of marriage candidates and the response of the youth clubs null, at least in the first world.
This is one of the many differences between medieval times and modern era, and one that many people probably don't think about when looking at the contrasts between the two time periods.

First blog question: Do I believe in the death penalty?

I do not believe in the death penalty.

I also don't believe that it is a very black and white situation. As history has proven that there are some people who are unable to be part of society to a safe extent, but the idea of removing the person from society to the extent that execution does.  I think my main problem with the death penalty, aside from the financial cost, is that the problem arises regarding where to draw the line of what deserves a death penalty sentence and what does not. Does murdering 1 person deserve a death sentence or life in prison or just 20 years? Falling into a confusion of what type of crime deserve the harshest of penalties is a very easy one.

I think their is also a moral implication of how does whatever governing body have the right to decide to take someones life? Especially when sometimes they do not take another person who might have committed the same exact crime as the first.

I think the other problem with the death penalty is that despite all the science that is used in crime investigations in modern times there is still the chance of an incorrect conviction and with the death penalty as an option it could prove to be a disastrous if not discovered before the execution is followed through with.

Overall there are just too many problems with the implementation and enforcement of the death penalty that I can't be in favor of it.
