I think that the punishment on Sam was harsh and I think that the captain still should give out punishment just not as harsh, and only if they do something wrong. Like working harder harder and longer then the other crew members as a punishment. I just don't think that the punishment should not be painful.
I do think that the captain should have less powers and less punishments for the crew. Because the captain is treating the crew like slaves. But Sam did talk back to the captain but I think that the captain did over react by getting all the crew members and then wiping Sam in front of all of the other crew members and telling them that this will be you if you talk back to me.
