Corporal punishment

Although it is generally prohibited, corporal punishment still exists in some families. Some people believe that corporal punishment is a good way to teach their children. To what extend do you agree or disagree?

           Perhaps no subject in the contemporary society is as controversial as the matter of corporal punishment. Despite the fact that it is generally banned, it is commonly believed by some that physical penalty is an effective method in order to educate their offspring. As opposed to this trend, I strongly hold a belief that corporal punishment takes its toll on not merely appearance but also emotion of children.

          We should first recognize that physical harms are attributed to physical penalty. It would be explained by the fact that parents encourage spanks as the method of discipline without concerning of how hard they hit their children to penalize them when they commit a mistake. Consequently, children have to suffer from a wide range of injures such as cuts, bruises or even leading to the death. All in all, children will experience inevitable outcomes caused by physical penalty.

          Apart from it, corporal punishment is the facilitator of eliminating emotion of children. As a matter of fact, children who are exposed to the bitter blow tend to endure an enormous range of emotional harms including anxiety, nervousness, depression or even loss of their sense of happiness rather than their peers. It is evident that they have to face with a host of adversities such as making an interaction, exploring new things, expressing feelings and being creative individual due to the fact that they put their own attempt under the permission of their family.

          Now the conclusion is self-evident with physical harms and emotional harms related to corporal punishment. In addition, corporal punishment is so-called cruel teaching parental method. Thus, we had better find out humane methods in order to nurture and foster our offspring. That methods are stable upbringing in family and proper education in school.
