ARGUMENTATIVE ESSAY OUTLINE

TOPIC: SHOULD CHILDREN BE PHYSICALLY PUNISHED?

Hook: in the past people do irreparable damage to their children.
Bg: Physical punishment is the infliction of punishment on the body. Children were punish extremely. People own their children and do whatever they want.
Thesis: I personal think that children should not be given physical punishments for some following reasons:

BODY
P1:
Topic sentence: physical punishment may suffer children’s mental
Supporting ideas:
1. children are always in fear mood. They are frightened and also lost their feeling of safeness
2. they are haunted by the scenes of being beaten.
3. lead to bad relationship between parents and their children. there will be a distance that prevents both sides from getting along.
4. children may become criminal when they grow up.They take out their anger and hurt on others. They have a tendency to treat others like who used to suffer them.

P2:
Topic sentence: Physical punishment is harmful to child’s health
Supporting ideas:
1.reproduction health will be influenced
2.Because of their youth, their bones are delicate, so the development will be slow down.
Ex:there are many kids in the world were on paper, or on air whose degree of disablement are at high level can not give birth

P3:
COUNTER ARGUMENT: not punishing children make them become disobedient.
Supporting ideas:
1. they become stubborn, they would do anything without permission
2. they would not respect the elders.
3. them would become irresponsible.
Ex:Those kids who are being pampered by their parents have no definition with the word " punishments". They believe that everything they did are not wrong so they comfortably continue their behaviuors even hurt people feelings. they become naughty. Depending too much on parents form them irresponsible behaviours.

REFUTATION: Punishing children really help them become obedient kids?
Supporting ideas: Punishments are a fast way to make them obey but not a best way to teach them.In US children are protected by children right law system, people are not permit to punish kids even their parents. Parents will absolutely face the law if they hurt their children. Instead of using physical punishments such as: hitting beating, spanking, swatting, caning; parents should use another way such as: forbid them watching their favorite programs, or ban them visiting their friends, .etc

Conclusion:

Parents who love their children will not want to hurt theirs. So do not try to treat children by physical punishment because predecessor did that. “Children like a white sheet of paper. The important thing is that how we write on it”. Because children are among the most vulnerable members of society and it is society’s duty to protect them and their rights.
