Well that's why the world apparently runs on the threat of violence because children are taught about it at a young age and it becomes normal for them. Studies have shown that children who are disciplined physically are more likely to be physically abusive later in life.

Plus anyway, where I come the world doesn't run on any threats of violence at all.

It's a known fact in the theories of education that hitting children will simply lead them to be more aggressive and noncompliant - which are often the reasons for the parents hitting them in the first place.
