The Reward

Rewards and Punishments Are you one of the many parents or authority figures in someone’s life who use a reward and punishment system to get them to do more of what you want, or to act more of the way you desire? Recently, my son’s and I were at the doctor’s, and there was another mother there with her son who was giving her trouble. She tells him that he can have a sucker if he sits quietly while they are waiting. His mother hands him the sucker, tells him to behave, and to remember what…

The value of rewards such as trophies or metals varies in worth for different people. For the younger youth the value may be increasingly important and as for their parents it may be just another piece of plastic. Rewards could be given for participating in many different sports, plays, or even shows. Participating in an extracurricular activity is a good way to allow younger children to socialize and teach them the value of trophies until a certain age limit when they should start earning the…

My chosen reward is the use and implication of stickers within a school environment. I have seen it used effectively in many schools I have worked in and it has many strengths, but equally its draw backs. Reward systems are in place in order for the children in a school to understand what is being asked of them. “Rules alone do not guarantee good behaviour; they should be related to rewards and sanctions” Arthur. J & Cremin. T (2010, p.136). This supports the active use of rewards that will have…

Rewards for Ratification Democracy is a complex idea in that it can be used to describe a form of government, a method of choosing a government, a way to judge the way a state exercises their political power, a political culture, or a term applied to a whole society. However, for this paper, democracy will not be viewed as an event or process but rather a journey, involving several transitional phases before it can reach maturity over a period of time. Democratizing states and established…

in school, not a reward. The only reason it is seen as a reward is because the level of difficulty of achieving good grades. Once a student manages to achieve it, they feel good about themselves, similar to how one feels good when receiving a reward, thus the two can easily be misidentified. However, unlike a reward, a good grade has a temporary “feel good” effect. As a result of this, one good grade will not always motivate a student to work hard and get another good grade. Rewards, on the…

type x behavior, people care more about the external rewards rather than the internal ones. As explained in Pink 's book, motivation 2.0 is not working the way it is intended to work.
