Many parents had been pondering over this question:
To spank or not to spank your kids?
Although it is a dinosaur age question, that had been lingering for thousands of years, before the modern technology was born, spanking children was nothing new to parents especially during our grandmothers’ days.
During my childhood days, my mother used to spank me and my younger brother when we were mischievous, unreasonable, stubborn, disrespectful, disobedient and making mistakes over and over again.
Back then, she used 2 rods ( cane) which are sold in grocery shop for a few cents. So, she would buy a big bundle, kept them at home in case the rods went missing.
My mother has a bad temper, her anger management is uncontrollable. That is why she often vent her anger on us, children when we make mistakes.
When we were mischievous, she would slapped our body parts ( arms, legs, shoulders, faces)
When we were stubborn, unreasonable or disobedient, she would use the cane to spank us without any warning, not a chance was given.
Hence, my brother and I thought of dozens of plans to get rid of the rods but new rods would appear the next few days because they were cheap ad easy to buy at that time.
Most parents spank their children in a fit of anger without realizing the damages done on them, both physically and emotionally.
As you had read about my experience about spanking, I am sure that you had endure those spanking rods too and understood the emotional feelings that was hurt , humiliated and embedded in your memory forever.
Physically, you had been scarred, felt the pain and abused.
I would strongly oppose to spank your child , regardless of reasons.
Even if you had to spank your child, DO NOT DO IT IN THE PUBLIC.
Conclusion
In Asian countries, most uneducated parents or low qualification parents are still spanking their own flesh and blood children in this modern era.
It is difficult to educate them that their wrong parenting concept on spanking kids because they had been brought up being spank by their parents too.
Hence, older folks point of view are stick in the mud.
Only the new generation of parents could make the changes.
No spanking.
Instead teach, guide, educate and talk to your children when they had angered you because they do not know or understand why parents are angry.
Do not use physical actions to teach children because it never will never work out.

It wasn't applicable for the child to be spanked by parents. During the old days, corporal punishment is being practiced to discipline the young ones. Nowadays, if parents will do this, it definitely violates the children rights context. I can still remember my teacher at a school. She terrorized all my classmates and that includes me.
Training a children is good but creating fear spanking create fear in them. If you look at it very well, children love staying with the mother than father. because, some father are always spanking on the children and this cause in direct between them.
To correct a child. it should not be by spank or shouting. Training is by love. You can can beat a child a little but spanking is absolutely bad.
I would say just punish a child don't let him or her play games or watch dvds and give them chores to do
