Popular events such as Olympics or world cup can be helpful in easing international tensions by promoting healthy competition, but it may still be influenced by the present relation between countries.

Popular sports events such as cricket world cup in Pakistan promotes healthy activity not just for the participants, but also for the citizens of the country. The time period during which cricket world cup is played the minds of the people are diverted towards watching cricket matches and a smaller number of people participates in riots and other patriotic gatherings. In Pakistan, it is also very common to see children and young people playing cricket in grounds and streets during the world cup. So, it not only diverts people from untoward activities, but also provides healthy activity.

Nonetheless, international tensions can adversely impact the sports event as well. Talking about the cricket matches between Pakistan and India more aggression is visible not only among players but also among spectators. For instance, it is common to see arguments and exchange of harsh words between players during matches. Moreover, viewers are also seen throwing things towards players in the fields, including soft drink bottles. Hence, popular events including cricket world cup is not an effective measure to ease the international tensions that exist, and it can also exaggerate the problems if occurred during those matches

Thus, I believe popular events can divert people from patriotic emotions, but diverting players from international tensions is difficult and requires proper training.

I disagree that capital punishment is essential to control violence in society. Capital punishment does not make our lives secure because the accused is not exact culprit most of the time, and no one has right to take the life of others.
In most cases, target killing is done by mercenary who do this just for the sake of money so accused is not the exact culprit because the main culprit is mostly rich and is a person of great influence. For example, some rich businessmen or politicians hire mercenaries for criminal activities. This does not deter the real culprit to stop doing such violent activities, for they could hire another person by offering money. Thus, capital punishment does not decrease crime because the main culprit goes unpunished most of the time.
Secondly, I believe no one has right to deprive someone from the life. Even though it is the responsibility of law enforcement agencies to maintain law and order, it does not acquit them for giving death sentence to anyone. Rather, the criminals must be diverted towards community service work which actually changes their mindset and make them good citizen. For example, the prisoners could be allocated task to serve other prisoners.
Therefore, I believe capital punishment does not make our lives secure or reduce crimes of violence. In order to reduce violence in society capital punishment must be replaced with community work in order to change the mindset of criminals.
