hi.i have written an introduction for capital punishment and I am willing to know my mistakes.

Should we put capital punishment to death? in modern and civilized societies,supporters of capital punishment has decreased in number considerably and critics considers it inhumane and barbaric but I believe this attitude is unrealistic and romantic and ignores the human nature and it is harmful to the society.This essay will discuss the issue in details.

please be honest and helpful.what do you think of my first sentence?do you find my essay misleading or ambiguous?
I m learning how to write an essay and my teacher wanted me to focus on introduction part.when I showed my paper to her,she thought that my first sentence was misleading and not clear enough and she said if I m going to to start my essay like that,i need to explain it and make it clear in my subsequent sentences but I think that my first sentence is clear enough and my subsequent sentences makes it crystal clear and reader isnot dumb.what do you think?

@mehdi1,
Write it up in your native language and then get a translation. It will be much easier to read.

@mehdi1,
I get the gist of it, but to be successful you will need a better presentation.

I think I made a mistake that you didn't notice.

@dalehileman,
I asked what you think of my first sentence since,as I explained in my first post,my teacher criticized it and said it is ambiguous and misleading but I disagreed with her so you think my first sentence is clear and interesting and my teacher is wrong.

If you mean the word order, then you didn't make a mistake. All these are OK:

have decreased considerably in number
have decreased in number considerably
have considerably decreased in number
