negative impacts of parents spanking their children. Internationally it is viewed as a violation of children’s rights, and has even been banned in 30 different countries (Smith, 2012). Elizabeth Gershoff, a researcher on physical punishment suggests that physical punishment does not work because you have to make it stronger and harder every time in order to have the kids comply (Smith, 2012). It has been found that children who were physically punished are more likely to believe

not physical punishment should be used when a child is doing wrong. Will children benefit from it or will it lead to psychological issues later on in life? There are many people that do believe in physical punishment. They were spanked while growing up, and simply state, “I turned out just fine.” Then there are some people that totally oppose of it all together. For these differences in everyone’s beliefs, several studies have been conducted to prove whether or not physical punishment truly is effective

In the local town a local church was burning down and three men named Ponyboy, Dally, and Johnny went into the burning church to save 5 children who were inside the church and didn’t know how to escape. When the boys got in there to help the child, the only way that they could escape is by setting the kids out the window and then getting out the window as fast as they could. In this saving of the 5 children there were three men who saved them. Those three people were ponyboy, Johnny

The golden rule everyone is taught is to “treat others the way you want to be treated”. Today, the rules of morality are argued to be either aided or hindered by empathy. In “Empathy Can Lead to Short-Sited and Unfair Moral Bias, Author, Paul Bloom, claims it hinders morality, while citing better alternatives to morality like compassion and reason. Author of “Moral Wisdom Requires Empathy”, Jamil Zaki, disagrees claiming empathy guides morality. Imagine a child stealing another child's toy and then

To spank or not to spank has been a question for parents for many years. Some believe that spanking is the only way that children will learn to be obedient. They believe in the motto “spare the rod, spoil the child”, meaning if parents do not physically discipline, the child is spoiled and lacks manners. Others, however, believe that exerting physical harm on a child for discipline does not make sense. They believe that there is always a better way to teach children right from wrong. Spanking is

I used to be a strong believer that physical punishment is an acceptable but I have changed my opinion about it since becoming a parent. As a child I was spanked very few times and I do not feel that I am in any way damaged because of that. Spanking though is a very broad term so I guess I should clarify that I think it is justifiable to spank once in a great while with an open hand the well padded butt but it is unreasonable to keep a wooden spoon handy to punish every smallest mischief.

evidence to show that spanking is an unsuccessful form of discipline that can led to unwanted consequences (p. 1960). I personally do not take a stance in this topic because I can see valid points from both parties. Although, I believe that the way the punishment is presented to the child is extremely important. For example, I feel that the child should know why he or she is punished and what is expected of them thereafter. My parents have different views on spanking. My father has never believed in spanking;

Do I put my kids in daycare or not? Here’s the thing: it cost a lot, like an arm and a leg a lot! And the prices are always rising. You also never know if you can fully trust a person to watch your children. Bad things happen all the time with daycares. Sometimes your kids are just brats and you don’t want anyone else to have to deal with them because it can be embarrassing the way they may act. First thing’s first, let’s talk about our kids. Now let’s be honest, we all know our kids are not perfect

phenomena of postwar America: the rise of popular psychology and the breakup of the extended family (4). Those who were spanking as children argue that they “turned out just fine”, and these parents believe that spanking is the most effective form of punishment, while there have been studies conducted that have interesting results that may come as a shock to those parents. Their studies have concluded that spanking could lead to many negative effects throughout the child’s life and on into adulthood.

centuries the use of corporal punishment has been an accepted form of discipline worldwide and was seen as an appropriate way of “eliciting behavioral compliance that was conceptually distinct from physical abuse” (Durrant & Ensom, 2012, p. 1373). The last 20 years, however, there has been a dramatic shift in this ideal among the international community. The early 1990’s ushered in numerous research studies that suggested a negative correlation between the use of corporal punishment and emotional, mental
