Spiritual disciplines are something that take a lot of work, they are things that don’t always come easy, and they often require practice to develop. As a believer, it is easy to just assume the role of a mediocre Christian who often overlooks spiritual growth, thinking that going to church every Sunday is enough to effectively grow in ones walk with Christ. Through study, it becomes obvious that Sunday Christianity is not enough, it takes work as a Christian to truly change and grow, and to…
disciplined like they used to be when their parents were little. A lot of kids nowadays get to do whatever they please and don’t get faced with any real consequences from their parents. The reason why is because a lot of people think that kids don’t need discipline and think it’s a waste of their “precious” time. Now who’s fault is it really that kids are this way now. Should the blame go to the parents? Or should it all go to the child who made those choices? These questions can’t really be…
From this unit, I have learned a lot about what disciplines means as a dictionary definition and as a personal opinion to lots of different people. I have also learned that this information could be different from what I may have known discipline to be as a child to what is in my household and culture along with how it is viewed in my profession. For example, according to an article on Babble.com, Indian parents believe that, “childhood is viewed as a sensitive time period where children are…
hence the kids were put under the custody of their grandmother. Conscious that spanking was a common disciplinary practice with majority of Americans parents, Spear and many others were confused. Psychologies have come up with a different way of discipline, since studies have proven that spanking children damages their overall well-being. Gershoff and Grogan-Kaylor made a study with children who were spank and those that were not spank.…

There are various ways that parents familiarize their child with…
Also, at that point spanking no longer is a form of discipline, but rather a punishment. This also brings up another issue with spanking. If spanking becomes a punishment, than it no longer follows the purpose of using it. In an article written by Jared Pingleton titled, “Spanking Can Be an Appropriate Form of Child Discipline,” he explains the difference between punishment and discipline. Pingleton states that “punishment is motivated by anger, focuses on the past, and…

"Panopticism" is a social theory created by Michel Foucault in his book Discipline and Punish. He defines this term as “the general principle of a new 'political anatomy ' whose object and end are not the relations of sovereignty but the relations of discipline" (Foucault 191). In other words, Foucault believes that institutions like the military, schools, and hospitals are controlled by requiring everyone to obey the rules and by punishing those who do not follow the rules to improve the…
