Chastise It’s 11:00 Sunday night, and Brian is sitting in his room on his phone. One minutes he’s scrolling through useless posts on Facebook, and the next he hears his mother’s footsteps on the stairs coming down to his room. He quickly hides his phone under the pillow, but he was a little too slow. His mom comes into his room and sees the light from his phone under his pillow. She flips the light switch on in his room and reveals him “sleeping.” She walks over to his bed, calmly reaches under her pillow and grabs the phone. Brian coincidentally woke up right as she was leaving the room and asked her what she was doing. She turned around and he was “chastised” severely. Two houses down, Jim a boy the same age as Brian , was waiting in his …show more content…
The word chastise is all up to an individual's interpretation of what a severe punishment is. The two boys both felt that they were chastised by their parents, even though they were totally different styles of punishment. It is all based on individual perception of a situation. Back in the Middle Ages, chastise used to be related to a beating, but over time that use of the word has passed. What someone in a modern time feels is chastisement, 100 years ago would not be described the same …show more content…
This made our 9th grade Shakespeare unit so difficult because of how they spoke. Chastise is one of these words that were used in this time. “...But I will chastise this high-minded strumpet.” (Henry VI, Act 1, Scene 5, Lord Talbot/Earl of Shrewsbury) In much of his work he uses abstract words such as chastise and strumpet to convey his point because they were common back then. Over the past 200 years though the use of the word chastise has slowly decreased. This word has become more and more obsolete until it is rarely used. A quote from Sophocles, “Chastisement for errors past, wisdom brings to age at last.” This quote is important, because it shows the immense time period that this word was used. Sophocles, who was a famous play writer around 500 bc, even used this word
A teenager comes home late from a party to find her mother waiting quietly at the doorstep. The mother points at the clock and asks where on earth her daughter had been all night. The teenager skulked out of the room. Mom had to stay firm, for it was two hours past curfew and her daughter never called. The punishment was simple: one week without a car. But the teenager raged about the house, hurling insults at her mother, slamming doors, and wailing about how it was all “so unfair”. It was then that her agitated father rose from his slumber, stomped to her room and raised that dreaded one week sentence to a month.
Sixth grader Jodee enrolled at a private academy and the first few months were without incident. Jodee reveled in having friends and tried to do everything right to stay in good standing. The trouble started when she called her mother to leave the party early. Jodee begged her mother not to tell her what was going on with the twelve-year-olds—but they were all caught in the act. Monday morning at school she found her favorite suede shoes floating in a toilet bowl of urine with a note attached—“Bitch, this is just the beginning.”
Mom said she doesn't want to put words in Mattie's mouth but it's unknown what she meant by that. Mattie said she got up and got in her bed. After that, he walked into her room and said he thought she was asleep. Mattie told her father no but she wanted to get in her bed. He asked Mattie if she wanted him to lie down with her and Mattie said no, she wanted to sleep alone. She didn't say penetration occurred. According to Mattie, this has never happened before or after the incident. Mattie just reported it. It happened several months ago when he was still living in the home. He last lived in the home on August 31, 2017. Mattie said she is scared of the father. Mattie has had very little contact with her father. There has been texting sporadically.

According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, “child abuse” is defined as “mistreatment of a child by a parent or guardian, including neglect, beating, and sexual molestation”(Webster). “Physical abuse involves physical harm or injury to the child. It may be the result of a deliberate attempt to hurt the child, but not always. It can also result from severe discipline, such as using a belt on a child, or physical punishment that is inappropriate to the child’s age or physical condition” (Child Welfare Information Gateway).However, parents look to justify their actions through the bible by saying “spare the rod spoil the child”. “But there is a big difference between using physical punishment to discipline and physical abuse. The point of disciplining children is to teach them right from wrong, not to make them live in fear” (Child Welfare Information Gateway).
Children were punished in the 1500’s and 1600’s to grow up so they would behave more like adults at younger ages. In The Domostroi, a Russian manual on household management, it explains a teaching that parents should live by when raising their children. It exclaims that when, “A man who loves his son will whip him often so that when he grows up he may be a joy to him.” This shares with us that when a man beats his own, the child becomes enlightened and educated that with every unacceptable action comes a discipline; so, with painful lashings, children learn how to behave like adults through punishment. When these children grow up to behave like adults, their parents then become appreciative of them since they are able to behave respectably so. In this excerpt from The Domostroi, it is stating that once a child has been whipped enough and understands what is acceptable and what is not, a parent will then be honored by the actions of their child (Document 3: The Domostroi, Moscow. 1550s). Another [parental] example of punishment that guides children is that of King Henry IV. King Henr...
In this paper I will critically analyse the strength and weakness of using 'qualitative and quantitative' to a specific area of social work practice. The area of choice is children's services with focus on two research findings in the area of performance measurement within social work, with special emphasis on quality services and stability of placements for children looked after away from home.
I was lying in my bed, shocked and didn’t know what to do. Right then, my sister Kathryn, came out of her bedroom and went down the stairs. Me and my sister, Amanda, jumped up out of our bunk beds and followed after Kathryn. “Why are you here?” Said Kathryn. It was six o’clock in the morning and a policeman was standing in our living room. Well, I guess that’s one way to start a morning. He told us that he had been notified that there was a child in the road a couple blocks aways. He said that she told them her name was Heather and she only had pajamas on and no shoes. My sister Hannah came upstairs and the policeman told her what was going on. Hannah stared at the
There once was a man named Franswah, and he had a wife named Keisha. They both lived in Keithville, Atlanta. They had a little girl named Jasmine, she was twelve years of age and she attended Ghettoville Jr. High School in the seventh grade. Keisha never did like doing anything, so her husband Franswah decided to go out and have an affair with a lady named Shay. Franswah and Shay worked at a law firm together. Shay was his assistant, she always helped him with things and they always went to lunch together. So some nights he never came home or either he came in late. Keisha was never the type of person to just argue, she mainly just questioned him to see what the response would be and she left it alone until the next morning. So one night when he came in he had a funny odor and Keisha asked him what was up with the smell, he told her that he had been working out and got sweaty. Their daughter Jasmine had very high blood pressure, so most of the time she didn’t go to school because of her condition and she stayed ill. Keisha had a younger sister named Ashley, she is the rowdy type that doesn’t care and will tell anybody anything. Keisha was telling her sister about Franswah coming in late, having a odor on him and don’t want to be questioned. So one day when Ashley was over there and he walked in she confronted him and told him if she find out that’s its that he’s cheating on her she was gone handle it. So he got mad and started hollering at Keisha for telling her sister about what was going on in their relationship. Then that’s when Ashley came back and told him that she can tell her anything she want to tell her because that’s her sister. So few minutes later the phone rings and its was Shay. Keisha answers the phone and it was another lady’s voice, and she asked to speak to Franswah. So she asked her who is calling and she told her that it was Franswah’s baby mother. Everyone is in shock, so Ashley gets on the phone and started getting rowdy. Ashley was asking her different questions like how old is the baby, where she live, and where did Franswah and her meet.

At around seven o’clock, I heard my mom page me to come downstairs. “I just got a very interesting call from your principal, darling.” At this point, I was in tears. “Mom, I swear I didn’t do anything! Please don’t yell at me! I found it. I didn’t steal it. I promise. Please believe me!” I sobbed and sobbed as I put my hands into my face. I knew that I was going to get the bad end of it. “Sweetheart, I’m not going to yell at you. I understand that you found it. You just have to give it back if it’s hers. She said that it was hers, so just give it up.” My mom sounded subtle, and I started to understand her. “What am I supposed to do?” Just the thought of having to give it back hurt me inside. I know that I didn’t have it for long and that it wasn’t mine, but I found it. “The principal will call you down tomorrow and you can give it to her. Now go upstairs and get some rest.” I turned and walked upstairs to go to bed. I couldn’t stop thinking about it. But when I finally did, I fell
When discipline is used correctly it can help guide somebody develop socially acceptable patterns of behavior. Discipline also teaches people about their mistakes, how to problem solve, and deal with their emotions in a correct way. Punishment is when the person who gives out the discipline, feels like the one being discipline has given a negative response to the discipline. Punishment c...

While the answer may seem obvious, not many people know what discipline truly is. They end up confusing the concept of discipline with that of punishment. Discipline is simply the process of guiding your child on the right path. "Discipline should not be a punishment, but a lesson
Children are a precious gift that God gives to adults as they grow in life, from adolescence to adulthood. Individuals are raised from different walks of life and many diverse backgrounds. As adults progress from childhood to adulthood they begin to develop a parental guidance. However, some parents never interpret the correct way to care for a child, creating a negative effect on their life. I feel that it is important to enforce discipline at a young age. Discipline is a great responsibility that all parents need to grasp in order to raise obedient and healthy children, creating an enjoyable life as they mature and become adults. Disciplining a child properly is a method that you as a person have to create. When correcting a child, I believe
