What is your opinion on punishments? Is it necessary to realize the mistakes?

Hi sree....this is an interesting discussion...Punishments are good to instill discipline and obedience in children as well as adults,to a certain extent.Punishments play a great part in maintaining the law and order situation in any place,without which there will be mayhem and corruption in society.it is also meant to instill a sense of respect and obedience to law ,which will enhance the well being of society as a whole. But there are some situations in our day to day life,where mistakes can be pointed out and corrected through love and understanding,rather than by wielding a stick.And it is also possible to realise one's mistakes and punish one self through self disciplining .Its all a matter of attitude.......

Punishment works as a detterant for those, who go against the laid down rules and laws. Supppose, you remove punishment from every rule and law of land, then people will become more free to do anything and everything. In my opinion, fear of punishment makes most of the people to work and they remain disciplined. To my mind 'punishment' factor should be necessary and it should be applied, when any rule is broken. One should not be harassed for the sake of punishment. What is your own opinion, suppose your subordinate disobeys you and you have the power to punish him/her, what will you do? Will you punish him/her?

Punishment is absolutely necessary for making at least others to realize that it is a mistake to commit and they will be punished.It definitely kills the eagerness to commit mistakes.

Hi Sreekala Hope u must be doing fine i believe that Both are important, "i mean Fear Of Punishment and Joy of Rewards", Both these are way to keep Humans on Right Track, I wont say children only. Both are important, just imagine if we don’t have Laws , Punishments, Jails and Law Enforcement agencies, What would be situation of the World and Society If u r religious, look at the Concept of HELL and HEAVEN, so one must know that what would be punishment if one do wrong deeds and what would be reward, if he able to self control. Take care

I do believe that punishment helps us in some ways. When we were young, it is very important to know the consequences of our actions. We must equal punishment with the reward. If we did something wrong then we must be punished but if we did something good then we must be rewarded. Because of this, we will be doing good so that we will receive rewards until we such time that doing good has become our hobby.

I think it's important to give them punishment from time to time just to let them know and be reminded that they have done something wrong.

Punishment is something taht should prevent for repeating the same crime again. It is also necessary the person can understand what was the real crime committed. otherwise it will have no meaning at all.

Punishment is necessary for people to realize they have accountability and will suffer the consequence for doing wrong or violating rules or laws. Even God himself punishes those who disobey so I believe punishments should really be employed. Children learned from the mistake they did when they got punished for it. This make them to be cautious and careful no to do the same mistake again. Same is through with adults. So children and adults alike deserve punishment for disobedience or violations.

I think punishments are sometimes necessary especially when you need to be firm, however positive reinforcement is still better for me

For children is still the best to avoid punishment and try corrective actions, let them feel that they have done something wrong which is not good and should not be repeated. First the children should be made realized the gravity of his misconduct and he or she still repeats then second step should be corrective actions and only third step should be punishment in way that does not affect the child mentally. For adult offender I still support punishment

punishment is a good thing in the sense that its is for a bad person. And also its in the bible that disobedience's persons will punished.

In my opinion, I think punishment is one way of modifying a behavior and that it can help people especially children to learn from their mistakes. But it doesn't mean that when a person commits mistake we immediately punish because doing so will only lead to hatred between you and the one being reprimanded. We have to weigh things first in order to give fair judgment whether or not to give punishment.

Punishment in certain way is the best resolution that the law can apply for the people that is really guilty of committing crimes like robbing, kidnapping, killing, reaping, and so much more felonies that affect the society and the inocent people that struggle everyday to survive and have and honest way of living. Punishment depending on how is applied could be painful for the relatives of the person that is being punished, however is the only way to refrain the others of committing such actions.

Yes punishment make us obey the orders that we are given. but again here the degree of punishment, importance of person who is giving order in once eyes and the issues on which order and punishment is given plays an important role. what type of punishment is given for what reasion plays crucial role here. but finally the punishment is the full and final answer. punishment like : Ignorence to love onces shouting slaping more pressure of boss on you etc

Yes. It is necessary to realise the mistakes we have made so we do not repeat them again. Punishment is also needed alot of times for people to realise it is not okay with what they have done.

Hi sreekala, Punishment is never necessary under any circumstances, it is pointless and outdated. This doesn't mean that we do not have to learn from our mistakes and everyone eventually will. Everyone must be taught the law of cause and effect, or the law of Karma, whatever you want to call it. What goes around comes around and no one gets away with anything, it is absolutely impossible. When everyone understands this, we will see that we don't need to punish, only reform through education. Blessings.

For me punishment is necessary for them to realize their mistake and for them not to continue those mistakes they have done.
