Positive effects of corporal punishment

            Positive Effects of Corporal Punishment.
             Corporal Punishment is an effective way of disciplining many people. It is a very sufficient method of keeping many of the populace under control. It is used as a warning to show citizens the consequences behind some of the actions that certain people choose to execute. It can also be used in schools. Corporal Punishment has also been used for many years. From the times of the Egyptians to the era of technology that humans live in today, Corporal Punishment is still being used.
             Corporal Punishment is a very successful technique that sends a message to, much of the population in America. For example, if a mass murderer had been caught and put to death, that would alleviate the population's worries and terminate a risk of more people being murdered. One person's execution could serve as a perfect example to what will happen to anyone who will try to commit the same crime. If the government were to put the murderer in jail there is still a risk of that person being able to break out of jail or contact someone to murder who ever he/she was going to murder.
             Corporal Punishment can also be used in schools (mainly high schools). For instance, in some schools in states such as Arkansas or Tennessee a person would get paddled if you were to get into a fight or be late. This serves as a very good example to the fact that the student would perceive the event as unpleasant. Some students would even prefer to get paddled instead of getting detention or getting suspended. This is true because corporal punishment can be administered fast and is over quickly. A suspension can last up to a week and waste very valuable time.
             Corporal Punishment has been used for thousands of years. In the time of Hammurabi's rule over Babylon Corporal Punishment was being used. For instance, in the situation of a thief being caught steeling, he would be put to death. This type of punishment would put the fear of dieing into the citizens, thus keeping them from stealing.
