In the early 1900’s, corporal punishment was a very common practise among all schools. Corporal punishment was allowed to be committed by teachers in almost every situation, but at Trinity there was a different story. Only the headmaster was allowed to commit corporal punishment and if so, “on extreme occasions”. Although the government has since banned corporal punishment for non-government schools in 2006. Other states are still yet to take action and corporal punishment is still allowed in non-government schools.
My feelings regarding spankings are inappropriate because it models aggressive behavior in young children. 8. Spankings should be administered with care. 9. Corporal punishment is the use of physical force causing pain, but not wounds, as a means of discipline; such as spanking, shaking, slapping hands and etc.

I couldn 't agree with you more, that one of the fundamental tenets of Real Corporal Punishment, is the lad 's respect for the hard man laying it on, as well as the hard man 's respect for the lad taking it and the desire to do him the most good. This means that the lad should always fear his punishment and that the hard man should never flinch from laying it on properly, so that the lad really benefits from his punishment. While the lad 's punishments will, of necessity, really hurt, in essence he is being guided by the hard man laying them on, who in the long run will make a real, hard man out of the lad. Having watched the video of my December Thrashing with a Cane several times, I am pleased to say that I can see signs of a real
Under the guidelines of the criminal code, corporal punishment is allowed however with reasonable limits. This becomes problematic because, the code does not define what is reasonable and what isn’t. To conclude, corporal should remain legal however it needs to be more specific with their “reasonable limits” by defining what is discipline and what is abuse. It should also include that parents are not allowed to use tools when physically disciplining their children, and not harm the child that results into marks on their bodies or hospitalization. In terms of age, that should the parent’s opinion when they can start corporal
Capital punishment, or the death penalty, is a legal process in which a person is put to death as a punishment for a crime by the government of a nation. The United States is in the minority group of nations that uses the death penalty. There are thirty-three states that allow capital punishment and seventeen states that abolished it (Death Penalty Information Center). The morality of the death penalty has been debated for many years. Some people want capital punishment to be abolished due to how it can cost a lot more than life imprisonment without parole, how they think it is immoral to kill, and how innocent people can be put to death.
If families do not have some form of discipline inside of their household things would begin to get out of control and become chaotic. So some parents choose to use spankings as a form of discipline. I think that spanking is necessary in raising children. In my household spanking was enforced for my siblings and I when we were younger, it was to teach us what’s right from wrong. Spanking is a disciplinary action where children can learn from it.
School punishment is causing pain or discomfort in response to undesired behavior by students in schools. It may involve striking the student either across the behind or on the hands, with an object such as a cane, wooden paddle, slipper, leather strap or wooden yardstick. It could also be spanking or hitting the student with the open hand, especially at the elementary school level. They used 2015 NCES data to show that 43% of Caucasian 8th graders were proficient in math while only 13 % of African American students and 19 % of Hispanic students tested at this level.
Whether spanking is helpful or harmful to children continues to be the source of debate among both researchers and the public. Many argue that spanking your children helps inforce good behavior and is a form of discipline for the bad. Although this maybe the reason why parents spank their own children many say spanking is a form of abuse. They say spanking your child can cause mental health problems and can cause negative outcomes.
This study purports to investigate why the use of corporal punishment persists despite its abolition two decades ago, its implications, and an alternative means of disciplining students without applying it. 1.1. Background Corporal punishment of children is a worldwide problem. Because it is a problem in most of the societies throughout the world it is necessary to conduct research about this issue. This Essay will focus on attitudes and opinions about corporal punishment in South Africa.
Spanking is a form of discipline that parents use towards their children when they are doing something that is deviant. However there are both pros and cons when it comes to spanking a child. A study done by Murray Strauss was conducted to see if spanking increased antisocial behavior in children. A total of 807 mothers, with children ages 6 to 9, were chosen in the study (Strauss, Sugarman, & Giles-Sims, 1997). The results showed that 45% of mothers that spank their children do it around 2.1 times a week (Strauss, Sugarman, & Giles-Sims, 1997).
Spanking is a type of physical punishment involving the act of striking another person to cause pain, generally with an open hand. More severe forms of spanking, such as switching, paddling, belting, caning, whipping, and birching, involve the use of an implement instead of a hand. Parents tend to spank their child to discontinue an undesired behavior. Throughout history there have been many forms of punishment, such as spanking, grounding, and timeouts. However, have you ever thought about the way it affects a child’s life?
I. Introduction A. P. J. O 'Rourke once said “Everybody knows how to raise children, except the people who have them” (O’Rourke, Pg.10). Parents always want their children to be better than what they used to be when they were at their age; that is why they care about every detail in their children’s life especially when it comes to behavior, obeying them and listening to their words. B. Background Information: i. People came to realize that physical punishment is a rough, atrocious, unacceptable mean of punishment that should be banned for its appalling, horrifying effects. ii. Facts about physical punishment (sources used) 1.
Early punishments seem to have been extremely brutal and were mostly carried out in a public setting. For example, the execution of Robert-Francois Damiens in 1751 for attempted assassination was designed to inflict maximum pain on him before he died while showing people the entire process. The early punishments were very brutal for various reasons including the fact that the justice system of the day was mostly retributive. For example, the Code of Hammurabi was made with “an eye for an eye” approach.
In 1996, the use of corporal punishment in schools was also declared unconstitutional. It was prohibited by the South African Schools Act, 1996. After this decision, the only remaining form of legal corporal punishment in South Africa was parental corporal punishment. According to current South African common-law, parents may “inflict moderate and reasonable chastisement on a child.”
