Blog response 1

I am doing the response to number 2:1  Peter Elbow's Believing game. Child abuse is the beating of children when the parents are upset with them or feel they need to let out anger on their child. It is a can be from hitting, to burning to really anything that can harm the child. It can be neglect or just physical sometimes even sexual.

Child abuse is a good thing because it teaches the child write from wrong. If you don't hit the child it won't learn. It will continue to do the same thing over and over again unless you smack it around a little. It will stick in the child's head. "If I do this, I'll get hurt." It works just fine and I don't see anything wrong with it. If the child did something wrong it needs to be punished.

Child abuse is not okay. The child didn't know what was right or what was wrong. You should tell the child calmly that what he or she did was wrong and make a game plan of how to get the child to understand that the child was wrong or what the did was right. A reward or something should be given or a praise if needed. There is no need to harm the child.

I am going to ask my roommate to read and tell me which side she thinks I am on. If I did this correctly she shouldn't be able to tell...but I think we all know... After I get her answer I will reveal the true answer!! Ah well I failed. She picked the second and that is true. I highly disagree with child abuse. My best friend is and I can't stand it. It's a touchy subject with me.
