Negative Effects Contrast Intended Result

Is corporal punishment wrong or is it a vital tool for disciplining our children which without our society will ultimately continue to degrade its self and cause our fore fathers to roll over in their graves? Corporal punishment with in reason is not abuse and should be considered a vital tool that is not out dated and should be used widely and constantly through out the previous and upcoming generations of man kind. Today with the mostly discontinued use of corporal punishment and generic discipline our children are becoming less disciplined, more disrespectful, and growing in their “boldness.”

Thomas Eddlem is a longtime freelance writer and high school history teacher. His credentials as related to the topic of corporal punishment is that he is a parent to three children as well as a blogger. His stake in this issue is appropriately used corporal punishment is both effective and beneficial. Additionally, He discloses no noteable financial backing for his opinions. He aims this article at a universal/ friendly audience. His purpose is to persuade the audience to believe that corporal punishment, when used on toddlers, is the most effective means of discipline. He claims a ban

Here it goes the same dispute. The same argument parents, psychologists and teachers have been having for years. Does physical punishment have a negative effect on children? Physical punishment does have long lasting effects. Corporal punishment introduces aggression to children and can lead to higher aggression for kids at school. Kids can not always distinguish between the physical aggression used as punishment and not acceptable physical violence like hitting and pushing. Children that are physically punished are a lot more likely to abuse their own kids. By informing parents, expecting parents, and just the public in general of the negative effects it has on the children outways the positives. Spreading the information there are better positive ways to get the end result of teaching kids right from wrong without all the negative effects.

When considering the effectiveness of corporal punishment, it is important to take into consideration the effects that it has on whole populations rather than just one case. Jared Pingleton, a clinical psychologist and a minister writes in an article for Focus on the Family as an appeal for the necessity of corporal punishment, “Many parents today view themselves primarily as their child’s friend and recoil at the idea of administering discipline. Children, though, desperately need their parents’ love and affirmation as well as their authoritative guidance and correction”. (Pingleton, 2014) This way of thinking about discipline is very important regardless of whether corporal discipline is used, but the use of spanking is often the most immediately effective way of conveying this message. Pingleton suggests in his step by step guide to carrying out discipline that when a parent approaches spanking properly, it can create a lasting sense of love and respect between the parent and the child. Spanking is used around the world to influence child development, and although it has many positives, it is also necessary to examine its’ alternatives.

Implementing physical punishment is a topic that many people and even professionals seem to have some disagreement on it. Some believe that spanking should be used to discipline children, but others believe that spanking brings more damage than results. In this paper I will define what physical punishment is and where I stand in regards of this matter. In addition, I will explain the advice I would give to a parent who asks if spanking is a correct way of disciplining their children.

Corporal punishment interferes with the parent-child bond, as it is not human nature to feel loving toward someone who hurts us.( www.cuteparents.net)

Parents may think that they grew up smart and mature because of corporal punishment and that kids today do not know respect because of the lack of this type of punishment. However, studies have shown that child behavior is actually on the rise; kids are behaving better than they ever have. Anything from teen pregnancy to bullying are all on the decline. There are less children going to juvy, teen pregnancy has been cut in half, and reported bullying is at an all time low (Rettew). Substance use is also on the decline. Fewer and fewer kids are getting involved in smoking and drinking while underage. The only drug that seems to be an exception is cannabis, which has remained stable in use for the past 20 or more years

Corporal punishment in these days has been becoming a topic in many old timers talks. Many believe that it helps and is definitely the way to go. The older generations still seem to believe that society would be better off if kids still got punished the way they did. They refuse to ignore data that has not supported the clams they bring up about making children better behaved or as they call it “Straightening them up”. Many believe that our liberal democracy population has views that are not valid and that the old ways need to come back to help us grow.

The world has changed in many different ways, but there are still things that need to be changed for the better. Corporal punishment is one of those things. All around the world, corporal punishment is affecting children in many ways. It is described as a form of discipline that hurts a child in a way and is used both in homes and schools. 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.

Corporal Punishment is a universal argumentation topic that has created a divided line between a population who believe harsher physical punishment should be considered as a sentence against offenders and those who disagree that physical punishment is un-humane to use on an offender. The United States is one out of many countries that fits the above description. Corporal punishment has been restricted from being used in prisons for quite some time. There has been retribution of bringing back corporal punishment into the U.S. criminal system due to the increase of youth violence and the high cost of keeping an inmate in prison for their time being.

Many parents argue whether or not corporal punishment is the best form of parenting. All around America, corporal punishment is and always has been accepted as the correct way to discipline children. More recently, the practice has been challenged, but despite much research, many Americans are still not convinced that there is a better way. Unlike drinking milk, smoking, and texting while driving, corporal punishment remains a silenced public health issue. Corporal punishment should be stopped in all American schools and homes.

Would you like it if you got hit, spanked, or flogged? No, you wouldn’t. Corporal punishment is authoritarian, brutal and, painful. I don’t know why corporal is still legal, but it should be banned completely. I was surprised to find that corporal punishment is still legal in household throughout the united states. What infuriated me was that it's still legal in school in nineteen states here in United states. I know a lot of parents and schools thinks it’s a good way to discipline kids but it is completely brutal and unfair; however, there are other ways to discipline children. Corporal punishment has never worked and never will study show that the children who were spanked are more likely to spank their children.

Aside from the long-term effects corporal punishment has on children there are some short-term ones as well, although they may go away when the child grows up they can be prevented if parents reduce the use of spanking and hitting their children. Children raised in a strict household have the tendency to see aggression as a way of dealing with problems, if their parents hit them to get them to “behave” they go and do that to other kids, some children hit other children in school or even family members because children learn what they see their parents model and they go and do it to other people. If a parent uses spanking their child as a way to get them to behave the child sees this as being right, they ultimately become bullies to other children. They hit other children because they don’t know how to distinguish the difference between aggression towards misbehaviour and just aggression in general. Studies have shown that children raised with physical aggression use physical aggression upon others ”research, as well as public discussion, has centered on the influence of physical discipline leading to aggressive behavior problems via social learning” (Rodriguez 810), it’s just what they know to do, a child raised with parents who don’t use corporal punishment don’t have it in their system that hitting others is right. “Monkey see monkey do,” that is the case for these children, they see their parents use harsh discipline so they go around doing the same, if parents were to

Disciplinary tools have changed a lot since one hundred, or even fifty years ago. Corporal punishment was much more prominent and is still legal in nineteen states. Although corporal punishment may be more effective in getting students to stop bad behavior as compared to something like a detention, it has a host of negative impacts on students. According to hrw.org (human rights watch) corporal punishment can have harsh physical impacts, like deep bruising and bleeding, but mental impacts as well. Hrw.org also says that in relation to corporal punishment, it has been shown that students, “have reported subsequent problems with depression, fear and anger”, as well as diminishing student-teacher trust and a safe learning environment. We know the information from the past, but what does modern science have to say?

Imagine walking into school everyday with the constant fear of doing one small thing wrong, and getting beat up for it. Imagine feeling endangered walking into a place that should be a haven, a sanctuary from all the evils of the outside world. Imagine not having a safe place to go to. With corporal punishment as an alternative to problems, this is the type of life kids have to live, and that is why society must take a stand against it. Corporal punishment is always wrong in school because it creates an unsafe environment, it causes the physical harm of kids, and it impacts the kids’ futures in a negative way.
