12/21 What do you think of corporal punishment at homes?

 I do think some degree of corporal punishment is necessary at home.
* corporal punishment: 체벌
ex> Corporal punishment is effective only when it is used properly.

There's a line between corporal punishment and child abuse.
* there is a line between: ~간에는 엄연한 차이가 있다.
ex> There's a clear line between constructive criticism and sheer complaining.
* child abuse: 아동학대
ex> Child abuse must not be tolerated no matter what.

Spanking your child occasionally to correct his/her ways is okay.
ex> It may be necessary for you to spank your child if he or she did something seriously wrong.

Inflicting serious physical harm on him/her is another matter.
* inflict harm/damage on: ~에게 피해를 끼치다.
ex> The prolonged labor dispute inflicted great damage on the overall business.
ex> Getting extra funding for the project is another matter.

Corporal punishment is no longer appropriate if the child's wellbeing is being compromised.
* be compromised: 손상되다. 저해되다
ex> We don't want the quality of the products to be compromised.
