The hypotheses of this research will be to determine if parents should use corporal punishment and can corporal punishment be an acceptable discipline tool in the rearing of children. The method will include questionnaires, demographic data, surveys, and incentive pay.

Complete 2 question 1 What is the dilemma facing Palmer? The dilemma Palmer is facing pertaining to corporal punishment is based on the different views that come to corporal punishment. Some people believe that corporal punishment is "a legalized form of child abuse, which conveys to students that violence is an acceptable method of resolving problems or disagreements" (Essex, 2012, p. 77).

I think the prison system should exist as a reformatory…

The peculiar aroma of gym clothes and feet surround you. You try to get as motivated as you can but somedays it seems impossible. Your coach tries to explain to you how to win, but for this game it does not click. You have no feeling inside you except pressure. When you go out on the court, a whole other level of stress takes over you. When you lose, you can not forgive yourself; you get mad for no reason.

A token economy is a reward system because a child gets a token after they complete a…

What do you think of kids on leashes? Well, i personally think kids on leashes are good but, they can be bad at times. I think they are okay because like if you have little kids and you don't want to loose them you can always put those little things around their body, and not hurt them. But leashes can be bad at times because people can abuse the leashes on their kids. On What Would You Do we saw a clip where a mom was being overprotective and had a leash on her daughter and sons hands. In the…

This particular statement called my attention because we are living in a world where everybody wants to educate their children with…
