Abstract | Capital punishment, still practiced in many countries around the world, represents a highly controversial human rights issue. As citizens of the world, the existence of a diversity of death penalties challenges some of the most cherished and universal values. For social studies educators seeking to move their students toward finding their voice as global citizens, the issue presents an important opportunity for dialogue. By offering one's students relevant cases that challenge their understanding of justice, teachers can help them bridge the gap between the classroom and meaningful social action.
