Everyone makes mistakes once in a while, but there are many children that cannot tell the difference between right and wrong. They grow up in a world with no rules and subsequently realize that they have made many wrong decisions that led them to undesirable moments in life. They have not only underestimated their parents but also ruined their lives by not listening to parents and not following the rules while they were young. Therefore parents should be allowed to hit their children to correct their behavior because the children might get out of hand, they might have no respect for their parents, and hitting them reasonably might be the only way the children will follow the regulations.
If children are taught and disciplined at a young age than they will not run free like wild animals. When I was a child my parents used to smack me when I was naughty. Today I consider myself a decent member of society. If I was allowed to 'get away with misbehaving' when I was a child I wouldn’t have turned out the same. All children need to be physically disciplined when they are growing up in order to learn the rights and wrongs of society and culture. This way parents will also be able to control them. For example if you compare a teenager that has been closely controlled and a teen that does whatever they want, the adolescent that has been regimented will always grow brighter. A well-disciplined juvenile will know rules and live by those regulations. Children should be closely controlled when they are still young so as they grow they could still be able to be kept under control.
Parents should always show the children that parents are the authority. I have seen a child say to their parent “ I don’t care what you say, I will go to that club.” The juvenile feels that he/she doesn’t have to follow any rules or listen to what their parents have to say because this teenager has not been disciplined enough. If the parent penalized them when this juvenile was young things would be different now. Once when I was walking up my street I saw a youngsters hit their parents out in public. These specific actions prove to us instantaneously that these children have no respect for their parents. Once a child loses respect for their parents almost nothing can change that back except for physical discipline.
How a child is disciplined will vary from child to child. For some, being sent to their room is sufficient, but for others it is not. A child should only be smacked if it is done out of love and not anger or hatred. For example if you tell a 9 year old that curfew ends at 5pm and they come home at 10pm, a responsible parent will smack promptly, as soon as disobedience is shown and warnings have failed. I see many teenagers that smoke, drink and do drugs and their parents don’t care if they keep on doing that. Why? The answer is either the parents buy them the drugs or they give it to their kids because the parent do them also, or the parents do not know anything at all. If parents care about their children and want to stop them from doing dangerous things than a slap on a backside becomes useful, but as soon as it becomes more than a temporary stinging sensation and actually causes bruising or other damage is when it becomes abuse. Therefore children should only be logically disciplined not abused.
Parents love their children very much. They want their children to become somebody, have a nice job and be proud of themselves and the decisions they have made in life. Parents only hit their children to stop their children from getting in trouble and disrespecting them. Parents should think of the force they use on their child before they do it, because when the pain grows the punishment is not called physical discipline anymore but physical abuse. Lastly children should be careful with the decisions they make because parental discipline is always going to follow them wherever and whenever wrong decisions are made.

Christians and Muslims
Religion influences people as they go through life. At some point, everyone is subjected to one religion or another, usually choosing one to follow. I grew up in Christian home and my mother always made sure I was in church. Recently, I was taking a philosophy course which required me to write a term paper; I chose religion. Researching the paper, I discovered that my Christian faith was being questioned. I had always known that there were many religions, and that they differed, but I never realized how much they were at odds with each other. This particular attack came from the Islamic faith. Christians and Muslims have many similar beliefs, which differ slightly; however, they also have some distinctly different beliefs.
The similarities begin with Christians and Muslims believing that Jesus will return; however, Christians believe his triumphant return will be the beginning of his reign as king, while the Muslims believe he will come back, win a battle, and be killed. Christians and Muslims agree that there is salvation, but their views on obtaining salvation differ; for instance, Christians believe salvation is a gift from god and Muslims believe that salvation comes from good works. Furthermore, Christians and Muslims both believe in Hell. Muslims believe Hell is a lake of fire where non-Muslims live in torment. Christians, on the other hand believe that those who are not saved will be thrown into the fire of hell for eternity.
Both religions have other similarities, but they have many drastic differences. The differences begin when discussing the nature of man. On one hand, Muslims believe that men are basically good. They also believe some men have been guided toward right and some are left to err on their own. They believe all Muslims are naturally good, but believe their God, or Allah, will allow Satan to make them sin. On the other hand, Christians believe men have a sinful nature and are born wicked; believing they are made good through faith in Jesus Christ. Once receiving salvation, Christians try to live a Christ-like existence.
The differences continue with beliefs about Purgatory, a temporary hell where a person can be purified in order to gain entry into heaven. Muslims believe there is a purgatory. Ironically, Christians are actually split on this with Evangelical Christians having the opinion that there is no Purgatory, while Catholics Christians do believe in purgatory. Evangelical Christians believe you ascend directly to Heaven. The two religions are also at odds regarding their beliefs about eternal life. Christians believe that eternal life will consist of fellowship with God, praising God, serving God, and worshiping God. Muslims have a much different view of eternal life. They believe eternal life is filled with sensual pleasure in having sex with virgins, eating, and happiness.
Christianity and Islam are not the only religions, nor are they the only religions that disagree. A few things are common in all religions; each religion believes in a supreme power or being, there is a good and evil or positive and negative in each religion, and each religion believes the life they are living will end some day; however, the disposition of the body or soul will differ. The soul will be reincarnated, live in heaven, live in some other state, or cease to exist. It is the responsibility of each individual to hear the arguments for each religion and decide which is more suitable and convincing for them.
