The practice of capital punishment is
as old as government itself. For most of history, it has not been
considered controversial. Since ancient times most governments have
punished a wide variety of crimes by death and have conducted executions as a
routine part of the administration of criminal law. However, in the
mid-18th century, social critics in Europe began to emphasize the worth of the
individual and to criticize government practices they considered unjust,
including capital punishment. The controversy and debate over whether
governments should utilize the death penalty continue today. The
first significant movement to abolish the death penalty began during the era
known as the Age of Enlightenment. In 1764 Italian jurist and philosopher Cesare
Becearia published an essay on Crimes and Punishments. Many consider this
A. agree that it is a human rights issue B. agree that it can prevent crimes C. explain its statistical analyses differently D. think that they are asked different types of questions

Five or six years ago, I attended a lecture on the science of attention. A philosopher who conducts research in the medical school was talking about attention blindness, the basic feature of the human brain that, when we concentrate intensely on one task, causes us to miss just about everything else. Because we can’t see what we can’t see, our lecturer was determined to catch us in the act. He had us watch a video of six people tossing basketballs back and forth, three in white shirts and three in black, and our task was to keep track only of the tosses among the people in white.
