Task 1:

"Explain the need for discipline in at least two public services. Analyse the role of public service. Evaluate the application of the role of discipline in the public services."

Discipline:

In Debra Gray's book: BTEC National Public Service (uniformed) Book 1: discipline is described as obedience to authority.

Discipline is necessary in all of the Public Services as it moulds people's behaviour. It can do this in many ways such as causing fear of punishment, offering material rewards, or by offering opportunities if promotion.

The main internet source of definitions I found was www.wikipedia.co.uk here I found definitions such as:

? A system of rules of conduct or method of practice; "he quickly learned the discipline of prison routine"; "for such a plan to work requires discipline";

? the trait of being well behaved; "he insisted on discipline among the troops"

? the act of punishing; "the offenders deserved the harsh discipline they received"

The dictionary definition of discipline is: control or order exercised over people or animals; system of rules for this; training or a way of life aimed at self control or conformity; branch of learning; punishment.
