Dieter, Richard. International Influence on the Death Penalty in the U.S.. Political Affairs.
<http://www.deathpenaltyinfo.org/article.php?scid=17&did=806.>

This site gave me information on how the death penalty/capital punishment manifests in society as an international issue. For example, I learned that if a terrorist was captured in a foreign country, it is possible that they would not hand the criminal over to America if they knew that the criminal's punishment was going to be the death penalty. This is a problem because of the fact that foreign countries do not agree with capital punishment and the United States uses capital punishment.

My knowledge and view on the topic is more credible because I can now say I know how my social manifests in society. Also I learned that it manifests through political campaigns. This is because when a canidate is running for a position/office a question they will be asked is if they are for or against capital punishment. There decision can sway the America population's voting decisions.

The major causes of my social issue are that the constitution says that there should be no cruel and/or unusual punishment. I see death as a cruel and unusual punishment.
