Teacher:We would like you to classify each of the following sets of argument pairs (discussing Death Penalty)  into either SIMILAR or NOT SIMILAR. A pair of arguments is considered SIMILAR if the arguments are about the same FACET (making the same argument), and is considered NOT SIMILAR if they do not have the same FACET. A FACET is a low level issue that often reoccurs in many arguments in support of the author's stance or in attacking the other author's position.
Teacher: Now, understand the problem? Solve this instance: Sent1: Because justice operates to protect society by deterring future crime, one would have to show that the death penalty prevents more crime than life in prison, thus fulfilling the function of justice better than that of life in prison.
 Sent2: And no, society is not better served by life imprisonment than the death penalty because society then learns that consequences aren't very severe for committing an act of murder.
Student:
Not similar
