Corporal punishment
Corporal punishment is to deliberately inflict pain and suffering to punish a person or change his or her behavior. Corporal punishment seems to be unmoral and evil, no child or adult should have to go though that form of discipline. This semester I have learned a lot about morality and how it is about good and evil and write from wrong actions. Good morality is the feeling of pleasure and desire for something; it also has to do with being fair to everyone around you. Morality enables us to reach our goals in socially acceptable ways, enabling us to resolve conflicts of interests fairly, developing certain kinds of positive character, promoting human happiness, and enabling society to survive. (Pojman). Without morality people would be doing whatever they had in mind like corporal punishment for instance, is not moral and fair to anyone who gets it inflicted on them. Morality is about good and evil, and corporal punishment would be a form of evil morality because no person deserves to be struck or harmed for acting up in some manner. Violence is not the answer to solve issues. Donald Cobble believes corporal punishment should be allowed to teach his son a lesson, I believe the fact of him beating his son is going to effect the way his son lives his life in the fact that hell be living in fear of going home to his father. No child should have to be afraid to go home especially for making minor mistakes.
