discipline in the ups

The topic of our debate was based on discipline. ‘This house believes that standards of discipline within the Uniformed Public Services should be relaxed.’ There were valid points for both sides of the debate.

The workers within the Public services live in constant fear of punishment. They try and live up to the high standards of discipline because they know that if they don’t they will have to suffer consequences.
