Over here, the child would have grown up and say how he grew up with such a shitty family, with a father who always tried to hinder him from reaching his dreams, and how he is so glad that he's now proven him wrong. If you were born and raised in the USA you call it "mistreatment." If you were born and raised in southeastern Asia you call it "discipline." Abusing a child in the USA is a very bad parenting decision, but only because you're living within a culture that has collectively decided that hitting children is wrong, and the child will ultimately grow up with a feeling of separation from society, and resent you for it. Abusing a child in southeastern Asia does not have these same effects, because you'd be living in a culture that has accepted that form of discipline, and you can still feel acceptance within that society. I can see up-sides to either disciplinary method. | ||

The obscene stupidity embraced by your statement overwhelms me. Here are some more situations in which citing cultural differences can excuse morally repugnant behavior: -Slavery -The Holocaust -Infanticide -Cannibalism -Witch Hunts -Feeding prisoners to lions -Systematic Spousal Abuse These are all practices specific to culture, and thus cannot be criticized. Anyways, I wouldn't have commented on it but you just had to say something really dumb. PS - <3 GoRush | ||

I've lived like that also.. i'd be beaten when i do something wrong and i'd hate my dad for that when i was young... but now i feel thankful that he'd beat me when i did something wrong, coz children never learn by just telling them what to do. The korean kids these days grow up without much or any beating, so they never behave which makes them the so-called 'public enemy' in korea -_- | ||

PS - <3 GoRush You've taken my statements completely out of context, and used your own misconception to compare the simple act of physically disciplining one child, to systematically murdering an entire race of people? | ||

Of course you can. I was merely attempting to keep this GoRush Interview thread from becoming a child psychology thread. Obviously I've failed. | ||
