Essay: Parent punishment should or should not

Many parent use punishment to teach the difference between right and wrong to kids. Many think punishment is necessary to held children learn the distinction between right and wrong. To what extend do you agree and disagree?

In the modern life, it is undoubtedly true that punishment is the easiest way for parent to point out their children what is right or wrong. At the first sight, this seems effective but on closer, many people argue that this method’s disadvantages dominate its advantages and I strongly agree with it. In this essay, this argument will be analysed in detail.

It is fairly easy to understand the reason why this proposal has been made. The reason is that whenever the kids make wrong thing, they will be punished and the next time they will not do the same thing. These would be at least two disadvantages to this. Not only the physical injury but also the psychological wound has been created. For example, if the children are suffered a lot of punishment, they will scare everything and not try to do new things because of being punished.

This is also, however, a strong argument not to implement this proposal. This argument is base on that retribution can turn the children into a bad manner. Let’s take an illustration. If the children has been suffered too much punishment from their parent because of doing wrong things, there will be two ways for their upbringing. One is that they scare everything and another way is that they will hate their parent and no longer care about being punished so they will become a bad manner of society.

In a nutshell, it can not deny the affection of punishment in teaching children. There are both disadvantages and advantages in this issue. My own personal view is that if the children do wrong things, parent should sit down and analyse for them why it is wrong and in the next time they should not do it again.
