Those things go hand in hand. Working culture and pressure and suicide and honor killings and beating your kids. It stems from ignorance, lack of education, lack of control, etc. Honor is most definitely a HUGE thing in Asia, and honor killings is just one mere example.
.

the only thing I see stemming from ignorance here is you. Asia? What Asia? This practice of honor killings is firstly, very rare, and secondly, only present mostly in countries in the middle east and only among the uneducated. And thirdly, those countries are distanced from this other corporal punishment of caning your child, which is an entirely different thing altogether practiced mostly in east asian countries like China and Korea. Westerners like you don't even know s*** about Asia, the biggest continent, yet group all the countries together like it's one big hivemind of the same culture.
Really, really, dumb comment you're making. And again, like someone pointed out, WTF does this caning have to do with freakin suicides and honor killings? You think a child gets caned then jumps off a building or something?

You want a good example of a country that whips/canes? Where I come from, Singapore, it's normal for older gen parents to cane their child. In schools, boys can get caned too. In fact I've been caned myself; do I look scarred or something? Does Singapore look like some 3rd world country to you? It's the country with the highest education quality in the world FYI.

This caning is not the s*** you see in prison camps or something. To see westerners call it abuse is really just plain laughable. At most, the caning just inflicts pain and goes away in less than 10 mins. Children see it as fearful like they see getting injected with a needle for a vaccine for the first time. No parent is crazy enough to cane the child till they bleed or some s***. It's a very temporary thing. It's the kind of caning that feels painful only for a child but as an adult, it just feels like someone slapping you lightly on the butt.
If anything, it has instead helped inculcate the Asian culture of children being filial to their parents, and obedient to a needed degree, not the rebellious teen common in western countries... underaged and already partying, drinking booze and having mindless sex.
