  • Disciplined Hearts by Theresa O'Nell

    1268 Words  | 3 Pages

    I enjoyed reading Disciplined Hearts by Theresa O'Nell because i find that many people today do not know a lot about the Native American culture and what they have been through. Their cultures history is not talked about as much the African American or Hispanic's are. Most Americans know about the hardships that the African American and Hispanics had to overcome to assimilate to the level that they are today. I think O'Nell is trying to talk about the history of the Native American culture because, she believes that the reason that their culture is not well-known because of the fact that they have chosen to keep living like their ancestors and not assimilate to the American culture.

  • Should Children Behaved When Children Misbehave?

    1305 Words  | 3 Pages

    Spanking is permitted in many U.S. States but it does very by state. I would inform the parents that in the state of South Carolina, it is legal to spank your child for punishment if for sole purpose of restraining or correcting, and the force has is reasonable in manner and moderate in degree. (Kidjacked Spanking Laws, 2014) I have always felt that spanking doesn't work. It can temporarily stop the unwanted behavior, but the most effective forms of discipline are those that teach children how to control their behavior. Spanking could teach your child to be afraid of you when they have done something wrong, but it does not teach the child the real consequences of their behavior.

  • Why spanking your child should not be illegal

    724 Words  | 2 Pages

    ...re the parents and I think that the decision should be left up to us on how “we” should discipline our children. “The key to effective child discipline is the implementation of immediate, powerful, and consistent consequences. A spanking can serve as a meaningful negative consequence in cases of undesirable behavior, but it tends to be most useful – and necessary – when a child is under 3 ½ years of age. Generally speaking, it’s our view that corporal punishment should be applied only in cases of willful disobedience or defiance of authority.”

    703 Words  | 2 Pages

    Many people don’t know exactly what child abuse is. Child abuse is physical maltreatment or sexual molestation of a child. Child abuse consists of three categories, physical, emotional, sexual and neglect. Some Americans even view spanking unacceptable act and others see it as an appropriate form of discipline. Well, spanking varies on a thin line. If you leave a mark and/ or aggravated and take it out on the child, that is considered abuse. When you spank after the child misbehaves and doesn’t leave a mark it isn’t abuse. Some facts about child abuse are that approximately 5 children die every day because of child abuse, most children become victims of abuse and neglect at 18 months or younger, and 14 percent of all men and 36 percent of all women in prison were abused as children. Children of all sorts of ages and races that get abused every day; some children have disorders and long term effects and sometimes these children die. Then some of these children will never feel safe in their lifetime because they know the one who abuse them are somewhere out there.

    Just as some believe that physical punishments are wrong, there are many who believe this old fashioned way is the only way. It is vital that the spanking be administered within proper guidelines. These guidelines include: not spanking too hard, not abusing the child, and not being too aggressive. It is important to remember that there is a difference between disciplining and abuse.
