It is common for citizens to think that a rule breaker should be punished, they say this without thinking what kind of punishment an offender is going to receive. Once people go in depth in someone’s case they understand the differences in punishments and why the law is set up that way. In the textbook “Corrections Today” written by Larry Siegel and Clemens Bartollas, states five different justified ways of punishment, punishing law violators provides beneficial consequences, punishment is deserved, punishment expresses public outrage, punishment teaches a lesson and punishment helps maintain the government. Out of the punishments listen in this book the one that stuck out to me the most and caught my attention was “punishment teaches a lesson”.

People are taught to learn from their mistakes but what do you learn from if there are none? If people are not getting in trouble and you are not getting any consequences for certain things then what is going to stop people from doing them. Littering and speeding is going to become more and more acceptable and the world is going to become dirtier and more people are going to get hurt or die from crashes. That is just two of the things just imagine if people did not have any of these minor offenses, our once beautiful nation might turn into complete anarchy. Secondly people need to not look at these as more of a warning.

In order to get to the final sentence it is very important that the punishment function as a cues that would help Mr. Fresen to learn from his mistake and to learn to determine which particular behavior is appropriate or not. The discriminating stimulus of the social setting would also provide a stimulus to not repeat the same behavior, especially for someone who is a public figure. The last and most important aspect of this type of sentence and the goal of the Judge is for the accuser to learn from his mistakes. It is very important that the accuser understand and appreciate the punishment. It is very important that he do not receive a reward after the punishment because if not then he is not going to learn from his behavior and the behavior will repeat again (Williams & McShane, 2013).

Consequence is the binding to make sure everybody is safe. A parent gives punishment to a child to teach and give morale. A judge gives a punishment to teach and protect society. But for me to say that consequence always teaches and always protects is completely wrong. Some will keep doing wrong, so we keep throwing them back at square one?

Honor codes, with careful consideration of rules and boundaries can govern schools, advancing students and making society a better place. Every year, thousands of students across the globe are punished for breaking an honor code. A study done by a public university showed that 42% of individuals knew the sanctions that can occur (Source E).Even students at the University of Virginia, a university known for honor, have been caught cheating, with hundreds more under investigation with expulsion as the punishment. (Source D) Yet students still choose to break these sanctioned rules, on the premise of not being caught, or simply not having a say in the creation of these rules. Rules forced upon a society lead to rebellion, a simple fact of history, and the basis of the creation of our country.

The central idea behind Jean Hampton's Moral Education Theory of Punishment (MET) is that it is best to educate criminals on their wrongdoings without handing down any physical punishments or ramifications. Hampton believes that excessive harm is not a moral response to a crime committed by a person. Rather, she argues that the point of basic punishment is to teach the wrongdoer that the action they did or wanted to do is forbidden, on the basis that it is morally wrong according to society. Therefore, according to Hampton, it is much healthier to educate criminals rather than handing down difficult physical punishments, which simply hurts the criminal and can be unproductive. To elaborate, Hampton proposes that any form of punishment is justified

For several decades, there has been a debate over whether companies and markets should be allowed to target children, with several claims being made that it is an example of sanctioned brainwashing in children. I will not refute these claims; however, I do believe that these tactics have their advantages. I believe that in our youth, our minds are more susceptible to being molded, and that society plays as much of a role in this task as our guardians do. Children often reject much of the stimulus they receive from school because it is too rigid; however, advertising is one way that society is able direct children without making the child feel like it is being controlled. Companies should advertise to children because children are more susceptible to marketing schemes, children have a no risk, yet high reward incentive to spend money, and finally, it is important for companies to be aware of the desires of their prospective adult consumer audiences.

Making the decision of what college was best for me, was one of the hardest decisions I have ever had to make. I was torn betweeen a private university and a public university. Each school had different things to offer me and seperate characteristics that I loved. My decision was made a lot easier once i discovered that Old Dominion University was more cost effecent, has newer dorms, slightly larger, and has more availabe recources to ensure success. Due to lack of Government funding, attending a private school is much more costly than a regular four year university.

Learning theory contends that delinquent behavior is learned from peers, family members, etc. Learning theory happens all the time from something as simple as a parent not wanting their child to hang out with a friend because they are a bad influence, to hanging out with that friend and doing something wrong because you saw them do it so you did too. This is seen quite commonly in gang neighborhoods where kids grow up and join the gang because they learned from their older sibling or parent that violent behavior with a specific group is okay or learned. Learning theory is quite common for delinquents, between peers, social media, television, movies, etc. juveniles can learn delinquent behavior from anything therefore influencing their
