Explain how the evolutionary and socio-cultural perspectives might explain the use of corporal punishment on children. plz asap!

The evolutionary approach/perspective essentially sees behavior as well as mental processes are due to how they genetically evolved to survive better. This could explain the use of corporal punishments as cognitively (genetically raised) parents were taught that using corporal punishments would be the best method to help raise children to become better people.

The sociocultural perspective studies how cultures affect our behavior and thinking. The Sociocultural perspective could explain the use of corporal punishment on children as it could elaborate on the fact that some cultures believe corporal punishment is better suited for raising a child and essentially raise a perfect child.

Hope this helps!
