Relating "Elizabeth: The Golden Age" with "Suits"

How do we resolve problems at our days? How do we punish the "bad guys"? And how do our methods differ to the methods of punishing at "Elizabeth: The Golden Age"?

In "Suits", the firm of the main characters always chooses the fair path to resolve their cases, never trying to manipulating nobody to gain their causes. Elizabeth always choose the same path, for instance, when she refuses the gold because they came from Spanish ships, and the two Native-Americans because she thought that they should be treated well, or when she doesn't let her going for the court advises and remained with the idea that everyone should have freedom to choose their beliefs. At her time it was something incredibly rare and modern, some vanguard's ideas.

However, while we take our criminals to a trail to be or not arrested, they were a "little" more barbarian. They chose to cut off the heads, hang or burn their criminals. Although, this makes me think: Are those violent acts so outdated as we think at the first look?

The answer is NO. In Third World countries people are still hang and stoned, sometimes for small, senseless crimes. But these countries are not the only ones. The United States are the only develop country that still approves the death penalty. A few weeks ago Troy Davis, a man sentenced with death penalty twenty years ago, was executed and the protests to stop this macabre act intensified. Will we see the end of death penalty in U.S.? I hope so!

Bottom line, we've got to try to always think one step ahead of our time and realize what is wrong before it is too late.
