Hello Everyone, I made a short presentation (7 min) on corporal punishment. It's unlisted on YouTube, at the moment. The idea was to create a sort of 'pilot' for a YouTube channel called 'PsychologyTube', that I'm thinking about starting in the future. The idea for the channel was somewhat inspired by an existing channel called 'Philosophy Tube'. The presentation style and concept were more appealing to me than the actual content - the presenter is pretty Left-leaning. Anyway, I'd really appreciate some feedback. I think the quality is OK, considering it was created with a smart phone. If, in the future, I can prove to myself and the viewers that I'm capable of making good content, consistently, I will invest in superior audio-visual equipment. Again, this was just a test so any constructive feedback is welcome. Thanks

Hello Everyone My friend and I created a Chinese translation of FDR's 'The Facts About Spanking' video. My friend did the translation and I edited everything together. If you know anyone who speaks Chinese or who knows people who speak Chinese, feel free to share the video with them. Also, many of the sources cited in FDR's original video are secondary sources so I've added several other primary sources related to corporal punishment which you may find useful. I have listed the new sources below, along with the video. By the way, I originally tried to send this video to Michael but he stopped responding to me after a few emails. I'm not sure why. I tried to send the video to both Michael and Stefan again but I heard nothing from either of them. Thus, I'm just going to post it here and if they want to use it, that's fine, of course.

Hello Everyone, As the title says, I gave a presentation to a group of Chinese teachers/parents/educational administrators about education, corporal punishment, and ADHD. The discussion focused primarily on the USA. I covered several topics that I think will be of interest to the FDR community. I even used a few of FDR's graphs. Any feedback/constructive criticism is welcome. Thanks YouTube Description: A lecture given to a Chinese audience on education, corporal punishment, and ADHD.
