Savaged People Learn Lessons?
Effects of Beating
Well, the premise when set up as a syllogism goes this way:
Well, the premise when set up as a syllogism goes this way:
People physically-beaten learn the intended lesson.
Joe was physically beaten.
Joe learned the intended lesson.
Joe was physically beaten.
Joe learned the intended lesson.
But is that invariably true. Do all persons who are physically abused learn the lesson that was intended? Or do they continue and become more careful instead? Since human behavior is unpredictable, because of many unforeseen and unknown factors, the outcome of administering a beating is never guaranteed. The following is a historical example:
During USA slavery, beatings kept the majority of the slave population intimidated enough to cooperate with the slave-owner's demands. However, there were occasional exceptions in which slaves rebelled and massacred those responsible. So obviously, there really never was any 100% assurance.
Well, the same applies today. A person might utter a word that we might deem offensive. We decide to teach the person a lesson by savagely beating him. Yet, the lesson-learned outcome is not 100% guaranteed.
You see, just a those black slaves sought revenge, some individuals who are beaten physically today will feel that revenge is the only proper response, and will similarly strike out at the lesson-teacher with lethal force. Or if not them themselves, then some family-member might feel impelled to do so on their behalf.
The following has happened repeatedly at school where bullying has taken place and deaths have occurred.
So before administering that so-called lesson via a savage beating, it's wise to take those factors into serious consideration.
