Is Spanking an Acceptable Form of Discipline?
In my childhood, I was spanked for misbehavior. Spanking has shaped me to be a better person. However, sometimes I show signs of losing my temper and reacting in a rash manner. I can lose my patience in a matter of minutes. Spanking leaves negative marks, not only in the child’s arm, but also in the child’s conscience that would contribute to future actions. Although spanking can help children learn what is right or wrong, it can lead to long term conflicts on both physical and emotional levels of a growing child.

You haven’t labeled the pieces (claim, data, warrant…) of your argument, so I can’t tell if you understand the concept or not.
