How about when you're a child and you steal a pack of gum & your Mom makes you take it back & say you're sorry in front of everybody. Wouldn't that encourage you not to steal?
Yeah I think that one is pretty universal. Mine was gum. Still can't chew it.
Is it bad that I can't wait until I catch my kids doing it so I can humiliate them?
The only thing humiliation encourages is hatred
Don't agree with that, if a kid is making fun of a mate in class because he got something wrong, humiliating him 90% of the time is the right ting to do, it make him realize that there is always somebody else that can pick on him as he was doing. It makes him realize, also, that what he did was wrong.
I graduated high school a few years ago and I have never seen that work that just makes more people pick on them and laugh at them and that's when there are suicides and weapons at school. I was raised that if someone is pickin' at you you pick back but I'm not very good at that so if someone was doing that to me I ignored them and that irritated them so they doubled their efforts. So mutual hatred all around. I'm quiet person (so lots of people thought I was crazy and probably do murderous things) with not really any friends so I have lots of experience with that.
Asor, i m a student. so i think i get what u r saying..but what does ur point 4 signify? how does it change things if humiliation is seen differently in various cultures? also cud u tell me how the method of humiliation differs?? n 1 last thing.. y do u call it a "witnessed experience"?as a teacher, u definitely wud noe these things..thank u people once again!
