Antwono Fisher Ethical Issues

Improved Essays
Our life presents us with many ethical challenges throughout our lives. Most of the times we are making decisions on the basis of our value systems which have been inherited from our parents, developed by the family backgrounds and evolved by the society we are living in. The intensity of the decisions we make depend upon the situations as sometimes they are as small as making decision about which shift to choose at work and sometimes they are as huge as deciding upon family break-ups. In our case study we are presented with a very emotional ethical situation which includes a movie, Antwonio Fisher where the main character was a single parent child and born in a prison. His own mother didn’t claimed him and was left to the care of abusive foster parents. He was seriously deprived of love and acceptance throughout his teenage and finally joined the …show more content…
Corporal punishments have always been a integral part of subcontinent 's culture. There have been cases of abuses and assaults to children by their parents but still such punishments are essential to a eastern household and I think so far positive results have outweigh the negatives ones. There is a big difference between spanking and abusing. We cannot conclude by putting everything under the one roof. Spanking is just a more harder way to make a child remember his wrong actions more than just scolding. If I talk about myself I have been scolded thousands of times but it doesn 't had that impact on me as compare to that occasional spanking which I deserved for sure. I was not abused nor I was emotionally affected but It always had that lasting impact on my mind still to this day that this action should not be repeated. In fact it showed me the severity of my actions rather than affecting me negatively, so the statement "It 's better to be beaten by mama than to be beaten by the police" really fits into our

    Although in the article “Justice Childhood Love Lessons,” by bell hooks, the author claims when a parent hits their child it has irreversible effect on one’s child throughout their lives, parents are doing the best they can. It’s hard being a parent and in some cases leads to spanking or other forms of punishment, leading to said punishment doing more harm than good and affect children more negatively than one may have planned in the beginning. Although in most cases it’s a good source of punishment, parents often take it too far. A parent should be able to have a deep connection with their child or children, spanking can keep over-reactive outbursts to a minimum, thus leading to a more calm and respectful environment for the child where he…

    So to answer Duke 's question, we shouldn 't use spanking or any other kind of corporal punishment on children because they are learning from their experience and we shouldn 't teach them that violence is the appropriate way to get the things you want.

    I agree, in my opinion spanking your child can be an effective way to administer punishment especially if the child is caught in the act of doing something wrong; but I think that if you were to spank the child a while after he or she has already done something wrong it would not be as effective as being caught in the act. As a child, I can remember when my parents would give me a spanking for something I did wrong and most of the time if they caught me in the act and punished me right then and there it stuck better in my head. For example, when I was around 9 years old my dad taught me how to hunt for doves every season we would hunt doves and shoot them.…

    Parents have to be cautious when disciplining their children to avoid trouble. Unfortunately, there is not a set behavior that warrants a spanking. Some sources say that it is okay to spank because it aids in building a strong relationship of respect with the parent and child, and it results in well-mannered children and adults. Parents also say that it is normal to spank children and that it is just disciplinary actions (“The Spanking Debate” 1).…

    In disciplining children, parents should do everything as kindly and gently as they can first. They should try to understand a child, make sure the child understands what is expected of them, use reasoning and find an adequate nonphysical consequence, like a "timeout" or taking away privileges. But if the child won't cooperate, some kids — at least some of the time — need something more forceful to back it up. b) Establishes Respect Many kids who grew up getting spank by their parents are more respectful to adults c) Disciplinary Tool When used correctly, spanking is safe and effective, and can be an appropriate tool for parents.…
