#Reinforcement

Positive reinforcement is the psychological art of hurling treats known as rewards at anyone who performs the desired act, then insisting on even more impressive feats. It serves as the universal tool to manipulate the behavior of humans and animals alike—from children and subordinates to pets—using money and flattery. Often celebrated as the pinnacle of 'praise to death,' its victims willingly don the shackles laid before them. Ultimately, it is merely a scheme to build an intimate codependent relationship between the controller and the controlled. The self-proclaimed benevolent practitioner is, in truth, nothing more than a meticulous manager wielding sticks and sweets.
