Subject: Corporal Punishment 6/11

The website I found on corporal punishment is http://www.corpun.com/. According to the editor of the website, it focuses on premeditated and formal forms of corporal punishment (such as parental, judicial, military and educational). My personal feelings on corporal punishment are that it is appropriate in limited situations and circumstances. For example, should a student in a school situation be paddled for being late? Certainly not. Should a student in a school situation be paddled for instigating a fight and causing damage to a school? Absolutely. For some individuals, paddling and corporal punishment provide the only means to demonstrate authority. In order for corporal punishment to be successful in school situations, there must be strict guidelines for when to apply this type of punishment, as well as strict controls over the person who delivers the punishment.

In terms of parents spanking vs. teachers, both are technically authority figures and should be recognized as such. If there are strict guidelines and rules that surround why corporal punishment would be administered and how it would be administered, I am in favor of it. There is a difference between nurses and teachers. A nurse is there to take care of biological needs or problems. Teachers, while they are also caregivers, have the responsibility of helping someone grow and develop mentally, emotionally and academically. Nurses should be viewed as having authority but also as individuals that can make you well, so there is not a need for their function to have corporal punishment responsibility. If you do not follow the instructions of a nurse, the illness or disease that you are suffering from takes the place of the corporal punishment in some respects, as it may be the very thing that �punishes� you.
