Why does society glorifies violence or physical punishment so much?

[Danielle93]

If you beat your bully and they befriend you, everyone likes that. Lots of praise.

If you work things out with a bully in non-physical manners and they changed, you get little compliments.

Someone claiming to be a professional and decent human thanks to his/her parents' many whoppings with a belt, paddle, wooden spoon (and saying that's what's needed nowadays) received lots of comments, likes and loves on FB, YouTube and other social medias. Their page is suddenly filled with many sharing those same views. You needed to get beaten into submission many times? How is that worth praising?

Someone that's also a professional and decent human without ever receiving physical punishment and emphasizing how you can still be strict without hitting your kid receives fewer comments, only likes and few hearts. Not many share those many views. Why?

Violence of any type takes little to no effort. Working things out without getting physical and getting the same or better results actually takes more effort, patience and time. Why isn't that praise?

I think it's just the sign of the times we're in. It hasn't always been this way.
In the 90's and 2000's people were praising their their children for every little thing that they did.
If they learned how to go potty in the big potty the parents would praise 👏 them and clap and make a big deal about it. Good boy!👦 Good girl!
In sports they stopped giving out first place and 2nd place 🏆 trophies for winning. Then they didn't think it was fair to all the other kids on the team that tried so hard, so everyone on the team received a trophy.
People were using their mouths to talk to their kids instead of using physical punishment. I guess you had to see it for yourself to appreciate the effort the parents were making to verbally reason with their children.
I guess this was a phase, people were trying different ways with their children other than physical punishment.
But that's all changed now and there are a lot of stupid and crazy 🤪 people who are (unfortunately) became parents and they are violent. People are more violent than I remembered them in years past.
I think 🤔 it depends on the individual parents and their beliefs, maybe take the playbook of how they were raised. Copied their parents way of discipline.
There are also a lot of parents who take drugs and drink alcohol 🍷 🍸 and are messed up from doing that and get violent with their children because they shouldn't have had children to begin with!!
Personally, my single mom never laid a hand on me or my sister.
I spanked my son one time and he was wearing a diaper. It hurt my hand a lot more than it hurt him and I never spanked him again.
My sister took after our mom with her two sons, but her husband was very violent and would beat the living starts out of them. We begged him to stop it but he wouldn't. I used to go home when he was like that and ruined my visit with my sister.
My son and I have had ONE rule in our lives and that was "Keep your hands to yourself".

If your sister is against hitting her children then she's not doing a good job in protecting them from her abusive husband. If I were her either I would file child abuse charges against him and leave with my children or I'll make sure he regrets ever meeting him, regrets the day he was born.
No way would I just let anyone (not even the child's father) abuse my child if I were a mother and was dead set on against physical punishment.

Simply because it's in our nature to be violent.

Yeah even though enough scientific research has been done and we can already use our brains to think.
