Abstract
This paper explains what positive discipline entails, examining its purpose, its methods and its implementation. The paper also discusses the effect of positive discipline on a student's self-esteem and presents an example of the application of positive discipline in a preschool classroom situation.

From the Paper
"The purpose of positive discipline is to enhance children's ability to control their behaviors, take responsibility for their actions and make appropriate decisions. More than just eliciting the desired behaviors from the children, positive discipline places a strong emphasis on promoting the healthy development of children. Essentially, the implementation of discipline should not lead to the degradation of the self-esteem and dignity of the children. Rather, children should be empowered in the process of learning how to make decisions and displaying desired behaviors."

Abstract
This paper argues that nursing is not only a profession that provides care to patients, but is also a theoretical discipline. The paper further contends that nursing is a true science and nurses must commit themselves to nursing science and theory in a productive and positive manner. The paper further encourages the reconciling of philosophical beliefs and scientific advances in theory as an imperative for the best interest of nursing as a discipline and a practice.

From the Paper
"Nursing is not only a profession that provides care to patients, but is also a theoretical discipline. At times, the practical profession of nursing can conflict with the scientific logical realm of nursing as a discipline. Nevertheless, nursing is a true science and nurses must commit themselves to nursing science and theory in a productive and positive manner (Silva, 1999). Thus reconciling of philosophical beliefs and..."

Abstract
This paper discusses different styles of, and factors influencing, employee discipline. These include the internal need for the appearance, as well as the reality, of consistency and fairness as well as compliance with relevant laws and government regulations. This paper ends with a discussion of progressive discipline, a graduate series of responses to employee problems.

From the Paper

Employee discipline, ensuring proper employee conduct and productivity, is a way management meets goals. Two of the better known styles of leadership today are called..."

Abstract
This paper examines how the use of physical discipline impacts children's adjustment. It further discusses whether physical discipline is beneficial or harmful, using child development journals and home-visit interviews. Harsh parenting is examines vis a vis supportive parenting.

From the Paper
"The use of physical discipline to correct children's unacceptable behavior is highly controversial. Proponents of physical discipline argue that children who are not physically disciplined fail to perceive boundaries to their behavior while opponents contend that physical discipline is damaging to children. Answering the question of whether physical discipline is beneficial or harmful needs to be a function of scholarly and scientific research rather than a matter of opinion. This paper will discuss the effects of physical discipline on children's adjustment as evidenced in child..."

Abstract
This paper discusses social controls as an alternative to progressive discipline, explaining how they may be used in a step-by-step manner that integrates organizational values.

From the Paper
"Progressive discipline which proceeds from an oral warning to a written warning to a suspension to dismissal (Cascio) is a disciplinary process that relies on responsive corrective action rather than on severe disciplinary actions, together with increasing use of grievance procedures. (McCabe Rabil) As such, it is an effective means of disciplining employees from the standpoint of communicating what they have done wrong and what they need to do to amend it. It also prevents liability for wrongful termination in situations where the employee is progressively..."

Abstract
This essay examines how certain programs can reduce specific discipline problems and how teachers can uphold an effective class environment. One of the optimal ways of dissuading bullying and disruptive behavior in the classroom, according to the paper, is to encourage more pro-social behavior among students, according to a study examined in the paper. Other evidence from research supports that positive re-enforcement for good behavior is more effective than punishing undesirable behavior.

From the Paper
"Reinforcement is important for the learning process, but in many classrooms there are discipline problems and the teacher must be prepared to deal with this type of behavior before it becomes a threat to student learning goals. A student talking or being disruptive, such as a student interrupting class activities over and over again, is disrupting the rest of the class, because every time the student does this, everyone else in the class looks up from their work and talks to each other. "

Abstract
This paper examines the theories of discipline and obedience in the Montessori method of education for children. It begins with a definition of terms intrinsic to this philosophy, and them moves to explain how they are central and interconnected to the Montessori philosophy. It concludes that self-control and personal freedoms allow each student to develop into a normalized person.

From the Paper
"Discipline and Obedience in the Montessori Philosophy Dr. Maria Montessori came to develop her philosophies regarding discipline and obedience from her work with both children with and without special needs. From her beliefs that one must enable and observe the child to interact with the environment stemmed a school system which involves supporting the student in their own natural surroundings, yet transfiguring this environment to allow the student to achieve higher levels of success. As thus her ideas surrounding the models of discipline and obedience are central in allowing the young student to aim towards their inner potential. As discipline and obedience are connected through the natural growth and aims of each individual student and teacher, the normalization of each child is fostered by the freedoms allowed to them in the environment prepared and cultivated to be replicated the natural environment by the teacher. For Montessori followers, disciple and obedience are truly linked to"
