Disadvantages Of Corporal Punishment

From history of world especially of countries like USA, India it can be find out that punishments

When it comes to disciplining children there are many different schools of thought and beliefs of what is right and wrong. These different opinions have been reviewed, discussed and argued by many different adults including parents, teachers, psychologists, and lawmakers. Every day parents must make decisions on what they believe is ethically and morally right when they discipline their children. Corporal punishment is one such decision. By definition, corporal punishment is “the infliction of physical pain upon a person’s body as punishment for a crime or infraction” (Encyclopedia, 2015). In a more general sense of the term, it refers to the physical disciplining of children.

Again,theses are only half of the reason why corporal punishment should not be allowed in any of the countries, and according to the latest reports nation's largest school districts among them Houston and Dallas,Texas; Memphis,Tennessee; Atlanta,Georgia; and Mobile County,Alabama have banned the practice of corporal punishment. Would you want your children to be an excuse for teachers to show their anger? Would you want them to be spending their childhood in fear? So stand with me to ban corporal punishment once and for all,for the sake of our growing generation. Abolishing corporal punishment in schools by Government is not

Another punishment was being hung and beaten with a whip. The last punishment I will mention is when they pour red pepper water into someone’s nostrils so it would flow to their lungs.

The term corporal punishment means the intentional infliction of pain on the body for purposes of punishment and includes slapping, hitting with objects, pinching, shaking and forcing to stand for long periods of time (Epoch 1). Family researchers define corporal punishment as " the use of physical force aimed at causing children to experience pain but not injury, for the purposes of correction and control of youthful behavior" (Day 83). Spanking is one form of physical or corporal punishment (Epoch 1).

Just recently, the Council of Islamic Ideology (CII) has made headlines with its proposal for its own version of a women protection bill which recommends “light beating” for defiant Muslim wives. Other grounds for beating included in the proposal are refusal to dress up according to husband’s wishes, turning down intercourse, not wearing of Hijab, interacting with strangers, speaking loudly in public, and giving monetary assistance without the husband’s permission, the Express Tribune details.

Throughout time, the use of punishment has changed drastically. Not only has the actual infliction of punishment changed, the reasoning behind this punishment has also changed. There have been numerous scholars, educators, and researchers that have presented various theories on the reasoning behind societal punishment. Some of these theories are closely similar, however some are drastically different. It is important to note that these theorists have broad perceptions that can be rooted back to specific time periods throughout history. Societal punishment is defined as, “punishment being a complex social institution, shaped by the ensemble of social and historical forces and having a range of effects that reach well beyond the population of offenders” (Garland, 1991).

“The Committee on the Rights of the Child in the General Comment No. 8 defines corporal punishment as, “any punishment in which physical force is used and intended to cause some degree of pain or discomfort, however light. Most involves hitting (“smacking”, “slapping”, “spanking”) children, with the hand or with an implement” (unicef website). Corporal punishment has been used in schools as a method of discipline and as a form of punishment for committing a crime. Some people will say that corporal punishment is no different from physical abuse, because your intending to cause some degree of pain or discomfort. However from my personal experience I went to an elementary school where they were allowed to spank the children as long as the child’s parents had signed an approval form. So needless to say if I ever got sent down to the principles officer for acting out or being bad my parents gave the principle permission to spank me. I believe that there is a difference between corporal punishment and physical abuse. Corporal punishment is a method of disciplining a child or person for acting out or for committing a crime, whereas physical abuse is causing nonaccidnetal physical injury for no apparent reason. My parents raised me to know that if I did something bad I was bound to get a “butt whooping” so I knew that if I did the same thing

An issue that I came across was the authors’ intentional or possibly unintentional lack of reference to the Islamic country that presumably this article is based off of. Their omission makes it difficult to compare judicial corporal punishment to incarceration when they provide no statistics about the other half of this comparison. Additionally, though the article addresses that the application of judicial corporal punishment in the United States is beyond its scope, it would not be unreasonable to expect a brief outline of a possible realistic plan for implementing corporal punishment. If a inquiry were to occur about possibly introducing judicial corporal punishment in the United States, knowing the statistics about other countries where

While reading Cleverley & Phillips ' Visions of Childhood I found that many views of the past relating to corporal punishment have changed significantly. During my readings I read things that instantly stood out to me. The first being how many issues and their solutions revolved around religion. John Wesley, was the founder of the Methodist Movement, and he believed that children were born with sin and that it was the parental duty to discipline the unruly child, starting at an early age. During this time period, corporal punishment was a common practice. Wesley used reference to the Bible verse in Proverbs to declare, “Spare the rod, spoil the child”, (Cleverly and Phillips, 1986) in turn parents believed they were doing God’s will with their harsh punishments.

It can be argued that corporal punishment is slowly declining as some studies reveal lasting harms for children; however, studies regarding the influence of parents from cultural/ethnic groups on a child’s outcome from corporal punishment may argue otherwise (McMurtry, 2014). Deater-Deckard and Dodge (1997) had suggested that corporal punishment (e.g. spanking) has fewer negative effects on children in cultures where it is seen as normative and often used. Nonetheless, despite the reliability of these research findings, some professionals still struggle with advising parents from different cultural backgrounds on their use of corporal punishment (Schenck, Lyman, & Bodin, 2000). Thus, the current study examines this issue through studies exploring cultural differences in use of corporal punishment.

Corporal Punishment is a physical form of punishment where a person inflicts pain to punish another; when someone commits a crime. There are different variations of physical pain; such as spanking, paddling, or caning, which is given to parents, guardians, school officials, or other officials. There are other types of physical pain, in ancient times, people would inflict pain by flogging; whipping, branding and amputation. It is now known today as a source of punishment in the legal system, and in homes of citizens. Corporal Punishment still exists today are in the United States, Japan, England, and China.

One global subject of controversy is the use of corporal punishment – punishment inflicted on a child’s body by an adult in authority (The Merriam-Webster Dictionary, 2005). Although it is a global topic of debate, many cultures find their citizens disagreeing among themselves. In a 2016 study, Anthony Ngo examined the effects of parents using corporal punishment. The 2016 sample consisted of 100 Chinese families that immigrated to the United States, and it was found that over 80% of them used corporal punishment and thought it was a fair way of disciplining their child. As for why they were using corporal punishment, many parents cited the feeling of stress as immigrants, changes in social status, and a lack of language proficiency as contributing

As most people know, women have been victims of injustice for hundreds of years, but one form of torture stands out amongst them all in Pakistan. Stoning is a form of capital punishment where a group of people throw stones at a person until he or she dies, more often women than men. Because stoning is a lot slower than other forms of execution, it is considered a form of execution by torture. In other countries like Afghanistan and Iraq, stoning has been declared illegal, but it is still being practice extra judicially. In modern times, allegations of stoning are politically sensitive, as in the case of Iran, which describes such allegations as political propaganda. Stoning still happens today. There are 15 countries in which stoning is either practiced or authorized by law, even if it has never been practiced. In Iran, Mauritania, Nigeria (in one-third of the country 's states), Pakistan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Sudan, the United Arab Emirates, and Yemen, stoning is a legal punishment. However, out of these countries, only in Iran, Pakistan and Somalia have stoning’s actually occurred and all instances in Pakistan have occurred outside the legal system. Stoning is used as a punishment for those who commit adultery. The husband has the honor to throw the first stone. Her children are also forced to participate. They are allowed to try and escape, but they are left at a disadvantage because they are buried to their chest, as opposed to men who are only buried

It is a common enough scene, something you have probably experienced with your own children countless times. They are being loud, fighting, or just generally doing something they are not supposed to be doing. So you spank them. Maybe even yell. You’re frustrated, at your whit’s end. You just want them to stop, want them to learn and make better choices. Only, after spanking them, their behavior worsens. The effect you thought spanking them would have is not working. They act out more, get more aggressive. A debate has risen, as scenarios such as this become more talked about. Some say corporal punishment is damaging psychologically and negatively impacts childhood development. So the question has to be asked: “Is spanking bad?”
