Physical Punishmen:Is It Abuse “Physical Punishment: Is it abuse'” Imagine that you are a child again. Remember when your Dad told you not to do something and you did it anyway' You knew what was coming next when he found out that you disobeyed him, you’d be getting a good old-fashioned spanking. As a child, I remember always getting into some kind of trouble. I also remember always getting a lot of “ass” whippings. I never hated my parents for doing spanking me, either. Is abuse the same as spanking a child' Different people look at physical punishment differently. Many people in today’s society believe that if a child is physically corrected, it is abuse. To others, physical punishment is accepted and practiced. Looking back in time, a “spanking” was accepted in society in the first half of the twentieth century. The emphasis and concern of child abuse was minor from the 1920s to the 1960s (Lindsay 1). The reason for this fact was because most parents were more comfortable in physically punishing their children because it was expected and thought of as a way of raising children right. Today’s society is much different from early twentieth century society. “The secular philosophy that a parent who resorts child, abuse, parents, children, physical, spanking, punishment, people, dunlap, believe, rod, taken, out, lindsay, fact, done, wrong, should, love, form, discipline, anger, society, respect, physically, knows, help, getting, different, correction, bible, because, accepted, while, way, very
