Unit 3 Discussion Forum 1. What are your views in using punishment in order to reduce unwanted behaviour? To my own understanding, when one is punished it does not mean the person is hated, but the person applying the punishment is trying to make the one going through the punishment to be a better person. I know many people will not agree with me on this, especially the way punishment is been used today. I will use myself as an example, back home in Nigeria in those days; every child is being…

A time in my life when I got a punishment is taking my siblings baby dolls away from them when I was younger. Then what happen was my siblings went crying to our mother and told on me. The effect on me was I wasn’t able to play with the baby dolls and I had to give them back to my siblings. Also I had to go to my siblings and say I’m sorry for taking away your baby dolls. I learned that it is not okay to take away your siblings things without permission. There was a time when I was disciplined…

Why parents should be responsible for crimes committed by minor age children. Over the years, there has been an ongoing debate on who to blame for the crimes committed by minors. Some people say that it’s the child’s fault for doing delinquent acts but it is the parent’s responsibility to teach them in the first place before these things could happen so minors shouldn’t be blamed so easily for the lack of knowing better. It’s the parent’s responsibility to treat and guide them correctly and if…

Michelle Kulas, a writer for livestrong.com, pointed out that, “About 187,000...injuries require emergency medical care.” When kids play a contact sport, they are touching each other. They could be fighting for the ball or simply just pushing and shoving. Other kids choose to play a sport with little to no contact at all. Kids should not participate in contact sports under the age of 14 because of safety issues, their attitude, and being active. It has been claimed that when kids under 14 years…

Negative reinforcement can either lessen the occurrence of the behaviour or it can escalate the behaviour which removes it. (Sheppard & Willoughby, 1975) A child will clean his room to stop his parent's continuous instruction to clean it. Positive Punishment refers to the negative consequence in response to negative behaviour. (Weiten, 2015) This is the opposite of Thorndike's Law a harmful incentive leads to the unlikelihood that the response to which it is related will occur. (Rachlin, 1976)…

Beside the long haul impacts flogging has on youngsters there are some fleeting ones too, despite the fact that they may leave when the kid grows up they can be counteracted if guardians lessen the utilization of beating and hitting their kids. Kids brought up in a strict family tend to consider animosity to be a method for managing issues, if their folks hit them to get them to "carry on" they go and do that to different children, a few kids hit other kids in school or even relatives since kids…

DEAR ABBY: It has been the most rewarding time of my life watching my son Sterling grow and prosper. He has done so well with everything life has thrown him in the six years he has been on Earth. It has also been very difficult because this is my first time being a parent and our parenting styles are evolving with the child. I have taken a fair number of parenting classes and they have all been very useful up until this most recent ongoing issue. Sterling has been having a very hard time…

Introduction Good evening ladies and gentleman, we gather today to discuss the controversial issue of parents smacking their children. I, Georgia Meyer, as both a concerned member of the pubic and a parent believe that parents should have full control over in which way they discipline their children however as our society and culture continues to change and adjust to our modern ways of living so should our methods of discipline. Corporal punishment is the formal term used for smacking. Recent…

Although they bear some significant similarities, the differences between The Giver and our world are clear. In Chapter 7 of The Giver, it says, “The punishment used for small children was a regulated system of smacks with the discipline wand….” In the Giver’s world, small children get a smack on hand for their misbehavior for the first offense. On the second offense, three sharper smacks on bare legs. By doing in this way, small children will correct their manner when they are young. So when…
