I didn't ask for the definition of primitive, I asked you to explain yourself in the context of this discussion. The time it took you to go to the dictionary and copy and paste that, you could have simply used to answer the question intelligently.

Primitive = it's old and outdated, we know why coporal punishment doesn't work and why we shouldn't use it as a punishment. Now, we know better , we should do better. We don't hunt and gather because we do it better than our ancestors. Let's keep the past in the past.
