Discussion Essay about corporal punishment

Discipline or Disobedience

What is in your mind if you hear about corporal punishment for student? You absolutely argue that it is a kind of criminal action at school which must be prevented. One of the worst cases in this century is corporal punishment which is given by the teacher to student. The American College Dictionary, 1953 Edition, defines corporal punishment as "physical injury inflicted on the body of one convicted of a crime, and including the death penalty, flogging, sentence to a term of years, etc." Indeed, corporal punishment is not a new issue from education, but is it allowed or not to punish children by beating, caning or spanking to be discipline? Until now, corporal punishment is still being controversy by teachers, students and parents. To convince you about how corporal punishment actually, the following reasons will show what the bad and good effects of corporal punishment to student.


The first reason to stop corporal punishment is it absolutely affects to physic of student. The violence which uses with beating, caning, flogging, hitting, paddling, slapping and many more the psychical punishments can cause the fatality effect from body, such as bruise, abrasion, swollen, and bone fracture. Dr. Elliston Rahming, the owner and director of the school in America, is also a criminologist, said that in education, there will be no corporal punishment in any kind. Teachers have to find more effective ways than beating to enforce discipline. Because teachers is not a thug, they should not do the violence.


The second reason to ignore corporal punishment at school is it surely impacts to mental student. Philip Greven in his book Spare the Child: The Religious Roots of Punishment and the Psychological Impact of Physical Abuse argues that corporal punishment can affect to psychic in a long period, for example amnesia, anxiety, depression, phobia, and the deep trauma. Moreover, it will influence to children behavior. They will imitate the action what they get from their teacher to others. Of course, it will be bad of the child’s mental development.


In spite of the several bad effects of corporal punishment, there is one of the advantages for student. Corporal punishment is a way to instill discipline in children. It is not weird if the teacher ever does violence to his or her student who does not obey with the rule, because it will make the student being afraid to do it anymore. Not only that, the student will be success for the next years. For instance, Mr. Purwanto, a teacher in one of an elementary school in West Java, told that he had a student who was very tough and disobedient, so he often did corporal punishment. As a result, the student is being a successful person now, and he said thankful for Mr. Purwanto who has ever changed him to be more discipline.


Taking into consideration about some negative and positive effects, corporal punishment is the last way to discipline the student. The teachers have a right to choose which method that is used to the student, because they really know how their student actually. If corporal punishment is the last method to change the student being better, it should be applied. For note, the purpose from this method is only to guide the student for the best future. In contrast, corporal punishment should be ignored, if it is just for nothing than violence.

The Pros and Cons of Homeschooling

“Do you need education? Of course yes.” That question is often asked for children who are young enough to study, but what kind of education that will be taken? Until now, some parents still doubt about it. Anything can be more modern including education which is very important for children’s future. Homeschooling is one of the popular programs of education which still becomes pro and contra in this century. As soon as it is more popular, many thoughts cross in to your mind. What are the benefits and detriments from homeschooling? To make sure you about homeschooling, you really need to weigh both of the pros and cons.


The first reason for taking homeschooling is children have more freedom to study. Parent and children can arrange the time when will be the best for studying. Several kids may prefer to learn in the morning, noon, or evening which very influence to the will of study. On the other hand, students studying in formal or public school, they must go, attend, study, break, and finish studying according to the rule of school. Therefore, children might be bored or tired because of the bad schedule. It surely affects of learning process that is not effective. So, being able to set up the learning schedule is a way to get success.


The second reason to arguing homeschooling is knowing more about your kids. It is the biggest advantage of homeschooling because parent can notice and keep their children while they are studying. Moreover, this way will help parent to figure out what are the talents and skill from their children. In contrast, students learning in public school, of course parent will not be able to control their children a whole time in every single day. In addition, students can be influenced by the bad environment, such as cheating, fighting, smoking and many others that will make parent scared and worried. Thus, getting to know more about your beloved kids is greater than only packing them on the bus to school in the morning.


Despite the many advantages, other families do not argue about homeschooling. The first opinion is it is not easy to spend much time with their children all the time, especially for those who are busy in working. Parent must prepare the lesson, research the topic, and teach them by wasting much time. Not only that, the parents usually have their own obvious plan that can give a lot of pressure for their kids to be what they want. It surely makes children not enjoy in studying. In fact, supporting and being with parent is one of the successes in this program.


The second reason for ignoring homeschooling is there is no competition in studying. Students never know how rate their skill because they only study with their parent and friend whose the same ability and talent with them. Also, socialization and interaction with other persons are limited, whereas it can give the precious experience for children in social environment.


Considering about some good and bad reasons from homeschooling, parents should think more before making the decision for their children’s education. If parents will not have much time and ability to their kids, homeschooling is not the best choice in this case. In other side, to anticipate the bad influences which will happen, parent should apply homeschooling to their kids. It will be more potential because parent can control and bring their children for the best future.

review movie "The Pink Panther 2"

THE PINK PANTHER 2



By Harald Zwart
Reviewed by Yoanda Febti Ardyan

One of the greatest comedy movies in 2009 is The Pink Panther 2. The movie which is stared by Steve Martin, Jean Reno, and Emily Mortimer is a sequel from Pink Panther, but it is prepared more perfectly because the location is taken in France. This funny movie focuses to tell about how Inspector Jacques Clouseau finds the Pink Panther Diamond which is stolen by Tornado.

For six months, Inspector Clouseau is demanded to fine the people who park their car in any place outside the museum where the Pink Panther is saved. Unlucky, the worth stuff and diamond lose from the museum, so the major Dreyfus commands Closeau to join with the Dream Team which detects this case. It is assumed that all the importance things are stolen by the professional thief who called as Tornado. The Dream Team, Closeau and his beloved woman Nicole begin their investigation in Roma, but they do not find anything there. Moreover, Closeau makes a terrible action in the biggest restaurant there. Therefore, he is not a member of the Dream Team anymore.

Without Closeau, the Dream Team still continues their investigation. They can find the place where Tornado stays, but Tornado dies. They feel that their survey finishes, whereas Closeau believes that the thief is not Tornado, actually. When the big party is celebrated in the museum, Closeau finds some evidences that the thief is Sonia. Many actions are shown by Closeau to catch Sonia. Of course, the actions are so funny which can make you unstoppable to laugh. Finally, Closeau is still being a hero again.

Then, who is Sonia actually? How does Closeau find and give back the Pink Panther? Will Closeau and Nicole marry? To answer all of the questions, you must watch The Pink Panther 2. I bet you will be amused by this great comedy movie. In addition, the setting from the movie is in France, so there are some words which are spoken in English but the accent is French, like “jojoba” said as “hohoba.” For more jokes, you must watch the movie which is stared by the best actors and actresses in world.

I do like this movie because it is so funny that can make the audience laugh during this film. There are more special things which are shown by the actors and actresses. Aishwarya Rai, a famous actress from India, her position absolutely can give the interesting point in this movie. So, you will get the best entertainment from watching The Pink Panther 2.

The moral values which can be taken from that movie are first, not to hate someone because of her or his weakness. Nobody perfects in this world. Second, appreciate something that someone created. It is the biggest mistake if you do not appreciate it. Not to hurt someone cruelly because it may be a grudge in this life.
