The same can be said about using corporal punishments. The immediate pain will cause the children to immediately stop their negative behavior. This can be a very enticing method to parents as they will desire to utilize it more. However, this can lead to very abusive behaviors from the parents themselves which will cause the child to then fear the parents as a whole and may possibly harbor more negative than good.

This
is where I would like to bring in how the military conducts its
punishment. They use a combination of both the time out and the response
cut method which is coined as "corrective training." You see, when
civilians join the military for the first time, they go through a
program that goes by either basic training or boot camp depending on
what branch of service you join. There, they run through what is
essentially a crash course of the military and go through the process of
transforming from a civilian to a soldier in a set time. It is
important to note that the transformation from a civilian to a soldier
is essential. So, drill sergeants or drill instructors are set in place
to subdue the "civilian" behaviors of a person and enforce "soldier
behaviors".

Whenever
someone carries out behavior that is deemed undesirable, the drill
sergeants or drill instructors will not only carry out corporal
punishments in the form of push-ups, but they will single out the
individual from everyone else which can be seen as another form of time
outs. It's an incredibly effective method as it almost immediately
corrects the behavior due to the fear and pain that it inflicts. This
instills in the individual that what they did was wrong and will never
do it again.

With
that being said, however, the method is not perfect either. The drill
sergeants or drill instructors can be easily influenced by the power
they have over the trainees and may become abusive with it. That is why
drill sergeants and drill instructors go through an intensive academy to
not only help thwart it but ensure that the trainees receive the best
training possible. But nevertheless, it is a unique approach to the
whole system of punishment.
