Punishment In Ancient China

During this time parents would often beat and spank their children. Physical punishment was much more common during this time and was not looked down upon by society. Parents and school teachers were more likely to discipline a child by spanking or paddling them. This taught children that misbehavior would lead to consequences and would therefore decrease bad behavior. One article states, “Teachers could paddle a student who was unruly and disrespectful, and we lived by the covenant if one of us got in trouble at school — that was nothing compared to what we would face at home” (Sutherland). This kind of action would not be seen today. While this kind of punishment has been around for a long time and has changed which makes it unique during the 60’s. Some doctors and psychologists have debated over this for many years and some have even changed their ideas throughout time. One example can be seen through Dr. Spock. Lauren Steele explains, “But when the first generation of Spock-raised babies turned into the rebellious teens of the 1960s and 1970s got to the scene, Dr. Spock’s ideas took a hit from the stricter, more regimented experts” (Steele). Originally Spock said that children did not need harsh punishment and that parents’ instincts were usually correct. After an era of not hitting the children became rebellious and rabble rousers which opened

Having extreme, agonizing, punishments was not out of the ordinary during the 17th century. The punishments and crimes were very unsystematic, and often times very foul. There were punishments that were as minor as carting,and there were punishments as severe as the death penalty.Throughout the 17th century there were a variety of punishments for different crimes that were commited.

From 500CE until 1500CE was best known as the Medieval Ages. Medieval period began after the fall of the Roman Empire. In many parts of the Middle Ages significantly changed. Types of punishment and determination of guilt and innocence are examples of the continuity and change in the area of law and order.

This lack of explanation of why certain behaviors must be punished or ceased, leads to the consequential effects it has brought upon children according to Evgeni. “Children were unmercifully flogged, and expelled from school, and their lives were lighted, although not one of the teachers nor fathers knew exactly what constituted the harm and offense of smoking” (Chekhov 53). This statement exemplifies how lack of explanation does not allow the child to learn and grow from their mistakes. In fact, this type of reaction could instill further rebellion or action of the specific behavior, such as smoking. It seems that adults who should possess the knowledge to distinguish right from wrong with a greater capacity than children, should be able to effectively teach the child rather than treating them as a criminal offender. Rather, adults also must gain additional information for themselves to understand the evils of society. “No doubt that is one of the laws of society—the less an evil is understood the more bitterly and harshly is it attacked” (Chekhov 53). When further knowledge is researched about a certain immoral behavior, such as smoking, it will allow a better understanding of how behaviors need to be treated and addressed properly.

The medieval ages had very different methods of crime and punishment they were a lot more brutal and many punishments for the crimes where causes of death for many people who weren’t even guilty. Even very small crimes like gossiping in medieval times had very brutal punishments. So make sure you never even gossip. Some of the simplest crimes would end in the most brutal way such as Theft, Hersey (thinking or saying something agents the church), Gossiping, Treason (plotting against or planning to over throw or kill the monarchy). The punishment well they are like something out of your nightmares gossiping: You would have to wear a scold's bridle, which would sometimes cut you if you tried to talk or ‘gossip’. Theft:

Among Vietnamese families is to tie a misbehaving child 's ear to a doorknob as punishment.in some other culture a child could be beaten/whip and physical injury inflicted as a means of discipline. To them their action is normal based on their cultural believe. (Mclntyre et al 1992) The American middle-class culture is one of the few that uses positive reinforcement procedures while limiting punishment when deemed necessary, a mild, spanking may be administered, although a more frequent practice is to isolate the misbehaving child, withdrawing love and affection for a period of time (Mclntyre et al 1992). These majority culture parents perceive their methods as being more humane than those that incorporate physical punishment. However, other cultural/ethnic groups often view the dominant culture style as being crueler. (Mclntyre et al 1992). While some culturally diverse guardians may use quickly administered physical punishment, they would never hint at an emotional separation from their progeny that might create feelings of rejection in the child. (Mclntyre et al 1992)

The punishment for her wrongdoing might sometimes surprise you. Especially the sentence of death. He was an execute thieves, liars, laborers of runaway slaves, tavern-keepers who don’t arrest conspirators meeting in their establishments and careless wives. Also, he was recognized by Mesopotamian civilization prepared itself into three individual classes, and the penalty method changed accordingly. The awilum (upper class) was better than the mushkernum (subornation free class), who enjoyed many social and legal benefits over the wardum (slaves) and between Babylonians of equal rank, he also followed the principle of retaliatory justice: An eye for an eye, a tooth for tooth, a life for life. Although, if the awilum blind the eye of a mushkenum,

A recent study shows 70 percent of parents believe it is right to discipline a child through physical means. Most commonly, parents will spank their children but being hit with things like belts or other objects happens as well. Parenting methods haven’t changed much with time and discipline in similar no matter the country. With more studies out to find the most effective method of parenting and discipline it’s coming to attention whether or not physical harm is the best way to teach children. Parents want what is best for their children, so it is important to constantly bring up and question methods commonly accepted in the past. One method that is becoming more controversial is spanking children. 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.

Spanking in history was the typical punishment you would receive when you missed behave. Some fathers would take their belts off, make you grab a switch (a flexible tree branch that was used for punishment), a wooden spoon, or whatever was closest for the parent to grab. Spanking is defined as hitting a child on the bottom with an open hand. (Narvaez) All parents have had those moments when they are at their wits in with their children when they are being terrors, but instantly resorting to spanking is not the only resolution to get your children to listen. In fact, spanking your children may do more harm than good. Unfortunately, not all parents know the difference between abusing their children, and only spanking them one or two times. Abusing your children is never right, but spanking your child can be a form of abuse. Studies have shown that spanking may not

Corporal Punishment has been around for quite sometime. It all started with using a simple wooden paddle. The paddle was invented by the sailors. They used it as a way of disciplining the seafarers if they were slacking off and trying to sleep during their nightly watch. Although, during this time, it was called cobbing not paddling.

In most circumstances ending the life of a criminal as their punishment usually reflects the magnitude of the crimes that they committed, crimes that often involve the deaths of others or equally heinous actions, yet one historical example stands out for not following this rule. In 399 BC, in Athens, Greece, two men put a meek philosopher named Socrates on trial for two crimes he purportedly committed: not following state gods and corrupting the youth. These charges alleged against Socrates reflected the general sentiment of Athenians regarding Socrates; namely that he was an atheistic charlatan. The jury found Socrates guilty of these crimes and executed, a punishment that does not logically befit the supposed crimes that he committed. No sane or logical jury would find him guilty of such vague claims, especially in such a vehemently democratic polis as Athens, and they would never have executed Socrates for such meager offenses, nonetheless he was. Execution was especially unnecessary because Socrates himself was on the verge of death; he was in his seventies in the Greek era, so he was bound to die soon anyways. The central focus, then, is of understanding how on Earth the birthplace of democracy could have gone so awry and when they tried, convicted, and executed Socrates. Athens sentenced Socrates to death because his beliefs were against the flow of the changing Athenian ideological landscape, people regarded him as a pompous, elitist charlatan who impugned their core

Child discipline has been a heated topic of debate in recent years. Many older people in past generations support more severe child discipline, citing that it teaches kids proper behavior better than more modern teaching styles. However, younger parents and experts are saying that severe child discipline can have long lasting negative effects. The issue of child abuse has been brought up many times in these arguments. There is a fine line between an acceptable spanking and child abuse. Corporal punishment may be thought of as, “the good old days,” by many adults, but kids today measure up, and might even surpass what kids used to be like.

As I was growing up, my mom would tell me stories when they would use the wooden paddle in school. She would tell me that they would spank her friends when they would behave bad. She also told me that there was this kid they spanked so hard that they heard the kid sobbing and squealing.

Children are like flowers, if well taken care of they will bloom. If ignored or tortured, they will wither and die. Child discipline is one of the most important elements of successful parenting. Today, many people have this notion that physical abuse is in no way a solution to helping children discern between right and wrong. Since generations children have been taught the art of discipline through physical punishment. Often this approach to disciplining has resulted in two outcomes, one is where the child becomes more tolerant and is willing to adhere to what he/she has been told, or the other which more often results in children developing a sense of anguish and desire to revolt.
