School corporal punishment

Throughout the first 8 weeks of class we have discussed a lot about ethnocentrism, the sophist, skepticism as well as a lot of different arguments. This essay is going to show what I have interpreted from the lectures and discussions. What is Ethnocentrism? Ethnocentrism by definition is “Our culture's tendency to twist our judgement in favor of homegrown beliefs and practices and against foreign alternatives” It is our culture's way of only being in favor of homegrown beliefs. Anything that isn't

We as people say that we are a non-violent society but yet we think that corporal punishment is acceptable and we should be able to hit and spank our kids and think that it will have a positive effect on them. However, parents tend to spank a slap their kids repeatedly for minor situations and at a second resort rather than there last. In a study, it discovered stated by Holden that “They were all spanking for minor misbehaviors and were not spanking as a last resort but as a second resort, They'd

I love Maury, I am glad the video wasn’t the Jerry Springer show. I am on able to imagine myself in an abusers shoe, but abusers may believe their behavior is normal depending on how they approach conflict. I have been in the victim’s shoes before,however not as bad as Summer’s situation. Being the victim can make you feel hopeless and trapped by not being able to see the way out of your negative situation. Summer responds to conflict in a passive nonassertive style, meanwhile her husband’s response

A child’s life experience when they are young are shaped and impact their emotional health and development as they grow. Discipline is believed to be an important part of parenting, but there have always been controversial ways of punishing and disciplining of children not behaving properly. Teachers were even allowed for a very long time aloud to spank students for misbehaving. As these young children grow and someday become parents the techniques they are disciplined with are going to be passed

Shame should never be used to advert someone's behavior, yet still, in this time period the practice is a daily experience that humans go through. In fact, if someone were to claim that they’ve never felt shamed by an action, words, or even a thought, they would be lying. Coming of age requires for people to regret certain decisions, after all, learning is about making mistakes, but for anyone to purposeful embarrass someone and then say that it’s for a “general good of the community” is inhumane

"techniques for the antiseptic manipulation of surface behavior" compiled by Redl and Wineman during this period ("Physical Restraint in School," n.d.). Restraint was common in society during this period, a child with a disability were hidden and not associated as a part of the world. Restraint in school is still often associated with violence however, schools are starting to train staff to be better prepared to isolate situations before restraint is needed.

children ahead of time. Hitting children teaches them to become hitters themselves.  Physical punishment distracts the child from learning how to resolve conflict in an effective and humane way. It is natural that children learn attitudes and behaviors through observation and duplication of their parents' actions, for good or ill. Because children learn through parental role modeling, physical punishment gives the message that hitting is an convenient way to express feelings and to resolve problems

What is the proper way to discipline your child? Some people believe that spanking is not the right form of discipline, while others believe their children will benefit from being spanked. Some parents believe that their children will not learn by being spanked, and that spanking will cause the child to pull away from their families and have a bad relationship with their future children. Other parents believe that spanking is a good disciplinary tool, and that when spanking is administered properly

children are punished because adults want to teach them something. The whole purpose of punishment, in the case of children, is intended to change their behavior. Adults generally think that they should do whatever it takes to get children to behave in an acceptable way. In order to get the children to behave thus, adults often punish them physically—that is, through causing pain. It is my opinion that physical punishment of children is an overreaction and can never be justified.

What goes through your head when someone asks,”How did you discipline your children?” Parents will either lead in one of three ways: strict discipline, mild discipline, or no discipline at all. No matter how a parent disciplines their children, there will be complications in a home, but when parents can no longer be “parents” due to others trying to step in and control their style of parenting, that is where a problem comes up.
