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. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion? What sort of punishment should parents and teacher be allowed to use to teach good behaviour to children,
It is a topic of debate that how to make young ones understand the difference between right and wrong. However, one group advocates that penalizing children is a way, while others asserts that other affective ways like discussion sessions, educational plays etc.are also there. Therefore, I do not agree with the former view of teaching youngsters about right and wrong things by punishing them. The reasons to support my stance are elaborated in following paragraphs.

A vast majority of individuals assume that the high rates of violence in scenes these days are posing threatening social issues. It is because of several problems including the television broadcast officers do not censor the criminal act and allow any levels of age to watch the film. These challenges should be tackled immediately in order to prevent further severe issues among societies.
