DON'T PUNISH

I have chosen such a topic to write because punisment is widely used by people even it is named as punishment “method”! Punishment is used in working, rising children, even in the field of training. Do you think that punishment is an effective way or wrong ? Punishment is known as authoritative imposition of something negative or unpleasant on a person in response to behavior deemed wrong by an individual or group. Most people seem to think punishment is good, but what do you think about that ? I agree with such people that think it is good to some extent. When a rule is violated there is nothing much left. If somebody deserves to be treated badly; it must be applied to, of course! However, in general punishment shouldn’t be the method of every situation. For example, it is not an education method. In fact, it is the least effective way changing someone’s behavior or improving their performance. Yes, it is useful to change behaviors but in an unfavorably way. There are a lot of educated men who think punishment curbs undesirable behaviors and they will continue considering like that until they try different methods to change bad behaviors. To prove that: a study found that zero-tolerance programs were adopted by the state’s public school programs the frequency of targeted offenses soared! As being both teenagers and prospective teachers we have to think about deeply.
