The diversity in ethnicities and cultures throughout the world is extreme. These cultures come with different visions in disciplinary action whether it seems logical or not in other points of views. The world has different perspectives and different people to back up their reasons behind the actions taken. The main controversy that has been taken on for years in several parts of the world is the debate of whether or not spanking, as a disciplinary action for children when they are misbehaving. As expressed in these three articles: “Today’s Child Abuse Creates Tomorrow’s Criminals” by Chandre Gould, “The Overwhelming Evidence Against Spanking” by Meghan Leahy, and “Disciplinary Spanking is Not Child Abuse” by Okey, Chigbo; there are severa pros and cons to an action such as spanking.

At the turn of the 17th Century, East Asia was the center of the world: the recent entrance of Europeans brought cheaper silver along with a novel religion and great advances in technology, such as in clocks, glass technology and cannons. The Chinese tribute system had governed foreign affairs in the region since the Tang Dynasty (618-907), other than the long interruption caused by the Mongols, who nevertheless adapted certain attributes in their diplomacy. The Imjin War (1592-1598) posed a serious challenge to the tribute system, led by Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the unifier of Japan. The Japanese invading force had been forged in the previous century of sengoku and arrived with the advantage of surprise, as well as a stunning superiority in weaponry (including European arquebuses used earlier in the century to devastating effect against the Aztecs and Incas) and experience. Even so, the Imjin War proved a massive success for the Ming and showed the strength of the tribute system in the face of strong opposition. In particular, Korean awe of China, the rules of the tribute system and the Japanese failure in this imperial invasion demonstrate the strong position China found itself in at this pivotal moment for East Asia.

Influenza is a highly contagious disease which can spread across the population by the body secretions which contain the active influenza virus (Collignon & Carnie, 2006). It poses serious threats to the society as it promotes fear, anxiety, and discrimination, and consequently causes destruction to the normal function of the society (Selgelid, 2009). Unless people develop immunity against the influenza virus (Collignon & Carnie, 2006), an influenza pandemic will remain a global emergency as extremely high number of people all over the world will require care at the same time (Kotalik, 2005).

Though it is still considered normal to do, it is gaining more traction and more studies are being done to find the problems it causes. Checking on parenting methods can be difficult as everyone is raised differently. It is also difficult to test which forms of punishment lead to certain outcomes. However, there is a trend of negative effects from hitting. Gershoff acknowledges, “several national professional organizations have called on parents to abandon spanking as a child rearing practice and for professionals to recommend disciplinary alternatives to spanking.” Spanking children is a terrible discipline method as it has negative effects.

Any method of discipline a parents chooses will attempt to reach the same goal, to teach children that there will be consequences for their bad behavior, and that good behavior is expected.

It has been going on for years upon years and very few people try to stop it. People believe corporal punishment is good for children, but there have been so many negative outcomes that other people argue against it. Although some people believe that corporal punishment helps improve a child’s behavior, corporal punishment should not be used because it could be used excessively and it is ineffective.

I remember an incident in middle school where a friend of mine was punished in a harmful way because he failed to answer a question. Although the use of corporal punishment in schools is intended to change the behavior of the student, teachers should not be allowed to use this method to punish their students as it is not effective for the child’s behavioral change, and it affects the student’s behavior psychologically and physically.

Educators being allowed to physically discipline students originated from a religious proverb in the bible “He who spares the rod hates his son but he who loves him is diligent to discipline him” (THE HOLY BIBLE, 2011). Corporal punishment was thought of by the community as acceptable moral behaviour but this code of conduct will not be beneficial to children in terms of secular humanism as children will come to associate discipline with physical abuse. In this case it is evident that secular humanism has ultimately influenced our morality, as in the modern South African education system corporal punishment is prohibited “everyone has the right not to be treated or punished in a cruel, inhuman or degrading
