Discuss briefly the following:
- Spanking:
Do you agree with spanking as a form of punishment? Why or why not?
What limitations should be put on spanking?
When does spanking become abuse?
Why is it okay to physically touch a child to “teach” them a lesson, but completely unacceptable for an employer to do the same in the workplace?
- How do you think kids learn pro-social behaviors at home? How do they learn anti-social behaviors? Has moral development been on the decline in recent years, or is it just overplayed in the media/social media?
- How can we be better at supporting, accepting, and celebrating all types of families? Talk about trends you see in family/parenting structures. How do these effect the family unit in the United States and how can diversity in families provide benefits to both indiviuals and society?
- How prevalent are gender stereotypes? What ones have you had to deal with?
