Shouldn't there be corporal punishment for rule breakers at school?
There is in 22 states out of 50 in my opinion though it should be in all states because some kids want to learn and if you have rude or kids intentionally disrupting class then we shouldn't give them attention by tending to them show them that, their behavior is unexceptable. Even though where I live it isn't allowed in schools from what I know, but still 90% of parents in the united states use corporal punishment as an effective disipline. This is the spioled generation all our parents had to work all we do is sit there and let it fall into our laps we could do so much better.
When was corporal punishment introduced?
This varies from state to state, and whether or not the school is a state school or a private school.Legislation to ban corporal punishment in all state schools was introduced in New South Wales in 1990, and this extended to private schools in 1997.It was banned in the ACT in 1997, and although the legislation states it is banned in "all schools", it does not explicitly include private schools.Tasmania banned corporal punishment in both public and private schools in 1999.Victoria first banned corporal punishment in public schools in 1989, and this extended to non-government schools in 2006.Queensland banned corporal punishment in state schools in 1995, but it is still legal in private schools.Corporal punishment in government schools in South Australia ended in 1991, but there are still moves to ban it in non-government schools. Interestingly, the legislation covering corporal punishment in both SA and Qld state schools is not actually legally binding, according to a paper published in May 2010.Western Australia abolished corporal punishment in state schools in 1999, but this does not extend to students in private schools.Corporal punishment is not explicitly banned in the Northern Territory, but there are moves in this direction.

Is corporal punishment a justifiable method of punishing adult criminals?
As far as I'm concerned, that's a matter of opinion, not fact. Some will tell you that corporal punishment (or capital punishment as it's sometimes known as) is a perfectly acceptable form of punishment and that often times it is used to make the punishment fit the crime as in the case of murder. However, some believe that capital punishment is wrong and that just because one person caused another person pain, they deserve forgiveness rather than the same punishment in return. There is also the argument for rehabilitation as opposed to pain. Often times the prospect of spending many years in prison will deter a person far more than just corporal punishment alone. I'm afraid this is the best answer I can give you. Again, this topic is based entirely in opinion, not in fact. No one can truly say they have the correct answer to weather corporal punishment is justifiable. I believe that Corporal Punishment is right if it fits the crime. It's not to get back at the person who did the evil deed, but it is a noted fact by stats that most criminals (murder, rape, etc.) get right back out on the street and do it all over again. How often have we seen people leave prison over and over and re offend ... plenty! Then the public end up howling like a pack of wolves and asking the question, "Why was he released?" The prisons are over-flowing and, if without a doubt the criminal has committed a crime that requires Corporal Punishment then this is the way it should be done. I do believe executions should be carried out in a humane method or otherwise we become no better than they are. There seems to be some confusion in the terms, corporal punishment is the act of punishing or disciplining someone by physical means. Capital punishment is another term used for the death penalty. Having said that, my answer would be an unequivocal, NO! for too many reasons to go into here. Mackey is absolutely correct and I did make a mistake. I don't believe in torture of another human being and each country has it's own was of corporal punishment (so I have found out.) At one time (even today) spanking children is under the heading of corporal punishment and I say yes if it's the last resort and that means a spanking on the butt without the use of anything but the palm of one's hand. From Canadian Law (Also American in many States): Such debates, however, do not always lead to the banning of domestic corporal punishment and The Supreme Court of Canada recently reaffirmed the right of a parent or guardian to use corporal punishment on children between the ages of two and twelve; this decision was contentious, being based upon S.43 of the Canadian Criminal Code, a provision enacted in 1892. [3] Similarly, despite some opposition to corporal punishment in the USA, spanking children is legal, with some states explicitly allowing it in their law and 22 US states allowing its use in public schools. A ban has been proposed in Massachusetts, on all corporal punishment of children, including by parents, and a series of laws in Minnesota severely restrict the use of corporal punishment of children.

Why did corporal punishment start?
I suppose because physical pain and humiliation were traditional recompense for transgressions, as well as a possible deterrent to future transgressions. If you read the Bible, whipping is mentioned in the Old Testament, and in the New Testament too, although preachers probably do not talk of it much. It is still used in many parts of the world, but not in the West anymore, gradually phased out as cruel in the 1800's and early 1900's.
What is the 8th admanment?
