Punishments are also like medicines that are useful for our well-being

Almost all humans will be using one or the other medicine during their lifetime. These medicines are required for curing our ailments. A person with the disease will not think of the taste of the medicine but swallow them with the hope that his disease will get cured. No patient will ask for sweet medicine after going to the doctor. Whatever he prescribes will be only used.

Similarly, many of us might have got punished for some or other issue. Not only in childhood by our teachers but also after growing up in the form of penalties and fines. Nobody feels happy to get punished. But like medicines for diseases. these punishments are also very useful even though they are painful in streamlining our lives. Punishments are also like medicines that are useful for our well-being.

It is a correct message given by the author. Nowadays even teachers can't punish the children at schools. There are many cases filed against teachers by the students and their parents. In our old culture, we will not utter any word against our teachers. But those students will come to know the importance of teachers after grown up. But by that time no use to think about it.

The message as penned by the author was the part of disciplinary approach in our times dating back 50 years ago but now such a system is hardly in force except in isolated areas in villages. While the existing schools both from government run and public schools are very keen to offer the best faculties to take care of pupils with the improved education in the institutions but they motivate the students with their different approach. These institutions don't believe in harsh punishments as prevailing in the past.

That is, punishments are acting as correctives. Yes, that was/is the intention behind punishments. It is expected to serve as a deterrent to others not to indulge in wrong actions and for those who already did wrong not to repeat it.

That is why when the wrongdoer is a minor they are sent to reform schools and not to normal jails. They need to be corrected by reformation. They are sent to correctional centres which were earlier called Reform Schools. In India, they are now Juvenile Homes or Juvenile Centres.

Unfortunately in practice, even punishments are not serving as corrective medicine in many cases nowadays. The reason is the change in the attitude of society as a whole and the political approach of discretionary reduction in punishments and even jails becoming more near to normal, life places with more facilities legally allowed and much more facilities illegally enjoyed by inmates due to external and internal reasons.
Just as many drugs of earlier times are not effective now, newer and more effective punishments are needed to prevent modern crimes.

Before punishing one there are some advice, warnings and alerts are given directly or indirectly. Of course, the advise or warning or alert given so feels bitter while receiving but avoiding the punishment. If such advice or warning or alert adhered no other go to meet the punishment.
That is what in Tamil there is a proverb, 'moothor sollum nellikkaayum munne pulikkum pinne inikkum' which means the words of elders and gooseberry are bitter initially but later it tastes good. In spite of punishment if one does not correct himself or herself, the next stage of punishing would be severe.

At present, childrens not obeying the orders of the teacher, the main reason is ultra modern parents.

We all groomed in a strict atmosphere, wherein teacher visits our house, meeting our parents, relatives they convey about us. In our school days, there is no open day.

Now, so called ultra modern parents becaus of the back ground, complains about the teachers for the mere sake of the beloved son or daughter small punishment.

Due to which, teacher sees the academics rather discipline.

Modern childrens are grooming in such a way that no one dare to question them at any point of time.

Hope, the day is not far away we all can see strict teachers in schools.

Punishments are also like medicines that are useful for our well-being
