The Problem Of Corporal Punishment In South Africa

1 Monica Sanad Professor Benjamin Bever English 112 18 March 2016 Primitive Punishments: Analysis of Bring Back Flogging by Jeff Jacoby In retrospect, Jeff Jacoby demanded the return of flogging in 1997, when he wrote an article that discusses his justifications for supporting flogging: an act of punishing guilty people using whipping, paddling or any other torturous method. The Puritans were notorious for punishing people by flogging during the 17th century. Jacoby used a lucid and strong title that clearly states the purpose and the thesis of his article, he also used a sub heading for his essay: “Boston’s Puritan Forefathers did not indulge miscreants lightly”

In the early 1900’s, corporal punishment was a very common practise among all schools. Corporal punishment was allowed to be committed by teachers in almost every situation, but at Trinity there was a different story. Only the headmaster was allowed to commit corporal punishment and if so, “on extreme occasions”. Although the government has since banned corporal punishment for non-government schools in 2006. Other states are still yet to take action and corporal punishment is still allowed in non-government schools.

Zero Tolerance: More Harm than Good The punishment does not always fit the crime. Zero tolerance was initially defined as a policy that enforces automatic suspensions and expulsions in response to weapons, drugs, and violent acts in school. Today these polices have changes to include a range of less serious offenses such as violation of dress code, writing on the desk, and tardiness.

Criminal Justice has been within the United States for a very long time, in fact criminal justice has been around ever since there were criminals around. That being said, criminal justice has not always been the same and has been changing drastically. All the way back from the colonial times to present day. This research paper will cover the history that follows the criminal justice system and how exactly we 've gotten to where we are today within law enforcement. To start things off first we will look at the introduction into colonies starting from 1776 to present day.

Elementary students in Indianola, Mississippi were unfairly arrested when caught talking during a school assembly. Schools in the U.S. have gotten way too strict when it comes to discipline. The causes and effects of these situations may be enough to ruin the high school careers of most of these students or even produce a bigger issue. Students are being robbed of their respect and dignity when punished and accused of being potential criminals. Notice, students in these schools either don’t care or aren’t getting any better.

In the article “No Spanking, No Time-out, No Problems”, Olga Khazan uses many rhetorical strategies to support and persuade her audience. That traditional punishment methods of parents will not change a child’s/children’s unruly behavior overall, but positive reinforcement will increase the chances of better behavior not only now, but in the future as well. “Positive reinforcement is the presentation of a pleasurable consequence following a behavior” (Craighead). This twist to traditional discipline teaches children to work towards a resolution instead of teaching them to lean toward violence. “For example, the way that parents discipline their children is how children discipline their peers” (Khazan).

If families do not have some form of discipline inside of their household things would begin to get out of control and become chaotic. So some parents choose to use spankings as a form of discipline. I think that spanking is necessary in raising children. In my household spanking was enforced for my siblings and I when we were younger, it was to teach us what’s right from wrong. Spanking is a disciplinary action where children can learn from it.

In this milestone we will be looking at a few key items of employee and labor relations. Some items that this paper will cover are things such as employee discipline, performance management and employee and labor relations. First, we will start by looking at employee discipline. Employee Discipline: Analyze punitive and nonpunitive disciplinary approaches, and explain their impacts on employee relations. When talking about employee discipline there are two schools of thought.

Is Spanking Allowed in America? I was born and raised in Vietnam with Vietnamese culture and ideas while my husband was born and raised in the United States of America with an almost complete opposite set of ideas and culture. When we married, we knew there would be some problems and one of the biggest problems is how to raise 2 year old child who is the poster child for “terrible twos”. I want to discipline my child by spanking her to teach like I was raised in Vietnam by my family.

Whether spanking is helpful or harmful to children continues to be the source of debate among both researchers and the public. Many argue that spanking your children helps inforce good behavior and is a form of discipline for the bad. Although this maybe the reason why parents spank their own children many say spanking is a form of abuse. They say spanking your child can cause mental health problems and can cause negative outcomes.

Spanking is a form of discipline that parents use towards their children when they are doing something that is deviant. However there are both pros and cons when it comes to spanking a child. A study done by Murray Strauss was conducted to see if spanking increased antisocial behavior in children. A total of 807 mothers, with children ages 6 to 9, were chosen in the study (Strauss, Sugarman, & Giles-Sims, 1997). The results showed that 45% of mothers that spank their children do it around 2.1 times a week (Strauss, Sugarman, & Giles-Sims, 1997).

Many children are exposed to various sexual violence’s and behaviours in their own homes which causes depression, anger issues and mental disorders, but to some it might seem to be the right thing to do and they start to practice what they are exposed to at home at schools to other learners. Learners tend to assault other learners whenever the thoughts of what they experience at home may arise, in this manner they bring what they have seen or heard at home in the school environment. For example a boy who grew up in a home where he was exposed to his father abusing the mother regularly in his presence the child can put what they experienced at home in practice at school. Many South African schools experience this kind of behaviours not knowing were learners got the idea how and why they are behaving in that

I. Introduction A. P. J. O 'Rourke once said “Everybody knows how to raise children, except the people who have them” (O’Rourke, Pg.10). Parents always want their children to be better than what they used to be when they were at their age; that is why they care about every detail in their children’s life especially when it comes to behavior, obeying them and listening to their words. B. Background Information: i. People came to realize that physical punishment is a rough, atrocious, unacceptable mean of punishment that should be banned for its appalling, horrifying effects. ii. Facts about physical punishment (sources used) 1.

Central idea Child abuse can be committed in several ways and the impact it has on the victim is extremely serious and does not only affect them in childhood but also adulthood. Preview The main points I am going to be covering are; what child abuse is, the three most common types of child abuse and the impact that child abuse has on the victim. And finally I am going to be sharing information about the perpetrator’s characteristics Body 1.

There is a worldwide trend in the use of penal imprisonment for serious offenses as capital punishment has been renounced by an increasing number of countries. Harsh punishments include capital punishment, life imprisonment and long-term incarceration. These forms of punishments are usually used against serious crimes that are seen as unethical, such as murder, assault and robbery. Many people believe that harsher punishments are more effective as they deter would-be criminals and ensure justice is served. Opposition towards harsh punishments have argued that harsher punishments does not necessarily increase effectiveness because they do not have a deterrent effect, do not decrease recidivism rates and do not provide rehabilitation.
