PROBLEM: Claim: Permitting smacking sends message to society that violence is acceptable
What evidence supports this claim?

EVIDENCE: 1. As corporal punishment is a significant factor in the development of violent behaviour in childhood and later life , an outright ban would help measures to reduce violence and crime .
2. Smacking is harmful to society as normative forms of violence spill over into criminal forms .
3. As Sir Al Aynsley-Green , Children 's Commissioner in England , has noted , ` we continue to send out confusing messages to parents about the acceptable use of violence across society .
4. Banning smacking would also help to promote the concept of zero tolerance of violence between all family members and thus reduce all forms of domestic violence , as well as reducing bullying between children .
5. A strong , consistent message needs to be applied , starting with a total ban of smacking .


PROBLEM: Claim: Collective Bargaining Hurts the Democratic Process
What evidence supports this claim?

EVIDENCE: 1. As such , collective bargaining rights for public union undermine the ability of taxpayers to dictate where their money is being spent significantly .

5. The power that unions exercises means that negotiations can happen without the consent or involvement of the public sectors stakeholders , the public .
6. Even though power in a democracy is usually devolved to the politicians for this purpose , given the highly politicised nature of union negotiations , government office-holders who supervise union negotiations may act inconsistently with the mandate that the electorate have given them .
7. The bargain between normal unions and private enterprise involves all parties being brought to the table and talking about the issues that they might have .
8. However , the public sector represents the benefits of taxpayers , the politicians and the unions .

3. In Afghanistan in particular , invasion coupled with subsequent nation building has been successful in constructing relatively stable political institutions and promoting economic development .

5. Humanitarian assistance and economic empowerment also offers people an alternative to joining terrorist groups .
