Corporal Punishment for The Children

A student forgets to do his homework. So his teacher gives him a punishment. She hits the student with a ruler or asks him to stand up in front of the class. From the example, we can say that it is an example of corporal punishment. Corporal punishment is the infliction of punishment on the body. It involves the application of some form of physical pain in response to undesirable behavior. It can be beating, hitting, spanking, paddling, swatting, caning, etc. Some people agree with the teacher’s power to punish, thinking that it is a part of education. Another people argue against for corporal punishment. They think that it can give bad effects for the children. It makes pro and contra.

            Corporal punishment can make the children’s attitudes become better. it happens because It can hurt them or gives them bad effect. They do not like it. They do not want to get corporal punishment again. They will try to change their attidues and become nicer than before. So they will be far from getting corporal punishment.

            Corporal punishment can make the children give up to do something wrong. When a student does not make a homework, the teacher just gives him an extra work. It does not give effects to the student. The punishment is too easy. They will not give up to do bad behavior again. So with the corporal punishment, it can make them give up. Their bad behavior can be lost and become better.

            The opponents of corporal punishment is psycologically damaging. It does not only give bad effect in their physiques, but also give bad effects in their psycologs. The children who get corporal punishment can hurt them. They can feel some pains in their pyhsiques. Not only that, it can also give effects to their psycologs.

It is not good for the children. They can do violences to their friends or their brothers and sisters. We can think that in their young age, they have been able to do some violences. Maybe when they become adults, they are criminals.
