Discipline

From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Discipline is an important idea in organizing human action, including in the family and in work. It is related to the word disciple. To discipline a child is to punish the child for bad behavior. Spanking is or was considered a method of child discipline. Self-discipline is controlling your own actions.

Military discipline is training people to obey rules and keep order.[1] A disciplined soldier is one who can act even while afraid for his life.[1] A disciplined person is one who does what must be done to achieve his goals, even if it is difficult.[2]
