of course right or wrong are perceived differently by all of us,
but if we keep it within a paradigm of not overly excessive or overly lax.
for instance, to my mind both the parent who lightly chastises a child with a smacked
leg can be of as good a character as someone who doesn't smack, or vice versa.
it's the extremes where they whip a child with a belt or punch the child etc, or where they just let the child run wild.
a person of good character is i suppose hard to define but if i spent a little time with them i think i could make a sound judgement call (in most cases)
