Hitting and spanking a child is largely a result of parents not knowing effective parenting techniques. It's a strategy that doesn't make sense to me, personally, as you're not imparting a sense of ethics onto a child that you hit/spank. You're instead merely instilling in them the idea that "I shouldn't do X, because I don't want to get hit/spanked". It's very shallow ethical development at best.
Good post, I agree but can argue that it can be extremely effective when used once in a life time. A single physical correctional minor hit, at a point of severely crossing the line. The effect of being flabbergasted as a kid at the situation turns into the situation you describe when used more than once.
