Spanking/Smacking children is more beneficial than harmful.

Yes, I will be arguing that smacking/spanking children is ALWAYS either equally beneficial, or less beneficial. I intend to have a serious debate, whereas so far you seem to be trolling.========================================================================================Rebuttal:"Children learn behavioral correction like dogs."-Pro has compared humans with dogs. To make such a claim that children learn behavioral correction like dogs, one must provide reliable sources and evidence that backs up his or her claim. Yet the only evidence Pro has to support his claim is that "They both chew on things, they both Sh!t in the house, they both squeak, they're both cute." I would like to point out that the age of children range between 1 to 13 years old, therefore this statement does not apply to all children. A 10 year old no longer squeaks and uses the toilet properly. Furthermore, to conclude that children learn like dogs based on this statement is crude and absurd, and I will explain why next."They both chew on things, they both Sh!t in the house, they both squeak, they're both cute." -All animals with teeth chew on things. All animals that eat things excrete waste from their buttocks, and if they were in a house, they would excrete waste nevertheless. Mice, squirrels, birds, they all squeak. And they're cute too. Pro is saying that dogs and children learn similarly because they chew on things, excrete waste from their buttocks, and make noises. By using this logic, Pro is implying that this is the same for most all animals as well, which of obviously not true. Many animals are aggressive and will retaliate if spanked. Other animals do not have advanced enough brains to comprehend and adapt to the discipline."How do we discipline our animals I ask you? We do so by smacking/spanking them..."-That is not true, there are several pet owners who don't spank their animals for discipline. And if their pets are snakes or spiders, spanking them will have no use because unlike dogs, they don't realize that they are being spanked because they've done something wrong. This is because their brains are less advanced. I realize that I must provide sources, but I am restricted by the time I have left, so if requested, I shall provide sources for these claims in the next round. But for now, you must trust that I know what I'm talking about because I am an AP Biology student and organisms' reactions to stimuli was the first thing I learned in the course."Doesn't this damage the child though you might ask? No not at all. Let me show you the outcome of the children/dogs who get this specific form of discipline." -First of all, Pro has not proven that the dog and the child in those pictures have undergone discipline that contained spanking. Second of all, those photos show nothing. For all we know, the dog and the child has been severely emotionally/mentally damaged, which would not appear on a photo. "The Bible Tells us to hit our children"-The Bible is an unreliable source for this topic due to the fact that it is biased and that it's words can be interpreted by anyone in anyway to support his or her claims. -For an example, in Pro's quote "Whoever spares the rod hates his son". Someone against Con's resolution can easily interpret it the opposite of how Pro interpretted it. The word "spare" essentially means "to give" or to "refrain from destroying". One can claim that this quote is saying that whoever "gives" the rod to his son hates his son, or whoever does not destroy the rod hates his son.-Therefore, use of the bible is unreliable. ======================================================================================================Arguments Against:1. Distingction between Children and Dogs-First of all, children and dogs obviously do not learn similarly, otherwise dogs would be able to understand human language as well as children. But they don't. And because children CAN understand human language, they are certainly able to learn differently than dogs.-The age of children range from 1 - 13 years old. So obviously a 13 year old would learn differently than a dog. According to my experience in Biology, dogs learn through the activation of stimuli, which can be created artificially. A stimulus is basically a trigger for an organism's actions. For an example, the color red is a stimulus that, once seen, will make a bull aggressive. Spanking works on a dog well because if you hit a dog for doing something, the dog will eventually connect its pain with its actions after the 5th time its been punished. The dog has created its own stimulus. The action that got it punished will serve as the stimulus for pain. That is also how dogs understand language. However, for humans, this is not neccessary. Children genuinely understand language. They don't respond to language as a stimulus. They are able to reason and learn without the use of a stimulus. -The dog brain is significantly smaller than the human brain.-Therefore, I have disproved Pro's absured claim that Children learn like Dogs.====================================================================================Currently, I am restricted by time constraints and I apologize. I have been really busy lately working on my school play that I have been casted in. Therefore, I will keep the rest of my argument short.Pro claims that spanking/smacking children is always more beneficial than harm. I will quickly provide examples of cases in which this is not true under my (currently 5 minute) time constraint.-When the spanker has been misinformed and has misunderstood the situation. In this case, maybe the child is not at fault or has done nothing wrong, but has recieved punishment because the spanker has misunderstood in some way and thought that the child was at fault.-Sometimes, the spanker can unintentionally seriously injure or wound the child.-Sometimes, the child takes the punishment as more reason as to not follow discipline.
