What?
You have to discipline your children to teach them right from wrong, and to help instill values in them.
Co-workers? Well, if you're a supervisor, and someone didn't do the work they were supposed to, or did it wrong, discipline can come in the form of a warning, pay cut, termination, etc.
Wife? Well, if one spouse had an affair, and the two agreed to work it out and stay together, the offending person may have to give open access to email accounts, phone records, etc. to rebuild trust. In essence, a privilege is taken away, so it IS disciplining a spouse.
Mailman? Most likely not directly, but if he's stealing mail, reading mail, dropping mail in the mud, etc., you'll most likely complain to his supervisor, which will in turn result in some type of discipline for the mailman.
I think you're confused. I know the OP did mentioned physical contact in his post, but disciplining someone does not automatically mean beating someone with a strap, taking them over your knee, or anything else physical. "Time-outs," "the naughty chair," and prison for adults, are all forms of discipline that don't mean beating the piss out of someone.
Discipline is fundamental to an individual to be able to function in society. Without discipline, everyone would do whatever they wanted without any regard to anyone or anything.
