It is important for children to learn the difference between right and wrong at an early age. Punishment is necessary to help them learn this distinction

#children #difference #right #age #punishment #distinction
Some argue that it is important to punish
children
 at an early
age
 in order to teach the distinction between right and wrong. I agree with
this
 opinion as long as the punishment is fitted for their development.
This
 essay will present the arguments as to why I agree with
this
 matter and what kind of punishment apply teachers and
parents
 can use for disciplining their
children
.
Firstly
, the moral development of
children
 is developed from an early
age
,
therefore
, it is indispensable to educate them on how they should behave in society through discipline. According to
the

my knowledge, at an early
age
,
children
 learnt moral ethics from their environments’ responses.
For instance
, if their
parents
 respond negatively, i.g. mad orangy at them, because they stole cookies,
consequently
 they learnt that stealing is an unacceptable behaviour proving punishments are indeed effective to stop their unfavourable behaviours.
However
, these rules could
also
 affect the appropriate one.
For instance
, if their peers mock them because they study too hard, they could stop studying altogether.
Second
, it is easier to shape
children
's behaviours than adults. Modifying adults' behaviour will take much more effort because adults are not easily influenced by their environment because of their developed cognition. Meanwhile, according to one of the psychology theories, educating
children
 could involve the mechanism of rewards and punishments.
Parents
 should reinforce good behaviours with delightful rewards,
such
 as sweets, toys, and many more along with punishing them with dislikable things,
such
 as refraining them from playing games in a certain period of time. From these explanations,
parents
 and teachers indeed should educate their
children
 about morals at an early
age
 through discipline.
However
, the discipline
also
 has to include the rewards when they showed appropriate behaviour because moral is about right or wrong, not just the ‘wrong’ ones.

Include an introduction and conclusion

A conclusion is essential for IELTS writing task 2. It is more important than most people realise. You will be penalised for missing a conclusion in your IELTS essay.

The easiest paragraph to write in an essay is the conclusion paragraph. This is because the paragraph mostly contains information that has already been presented in the essay – it is just the repetition of some information written in the introduction paragraph and supporting paragraphs.

The conclusion paragraph only has 3 sentences:

  • Summary
  • Restatement of thesis
  • Prediction or recommendation

Example:

To summarize, a robotic teacher does not have the necessary disciple to properly give instructions to students and actually works to retard the ability of a student to comprehend new lessons. Therefore, it is clear that the idea of running a classroom completely by a machine cannot be supported. After thorough analysis on this subject, it is predicted that the adverse effects of the debate over technology-driven teaching will always be greater than the positive effects, and because of this, classroom teachers will never be substituted for technology.

Start your conclusion with a linking phrase. Here are some examples:

  • In conclusion
  • To conclude
  • To summarize
  • Finally
  • In a nutshell
  • In general
