Deep dives
The Problem with Punishments and Rewards
Both punishments and rewards aim at temporary compliance through control, focusing on doing things to people instead of working with them. Punishments make individuals feel powerless, leading to negative relationships and self-centered attitudes. Similarly, rewards only result in transient compliance, emphasizing self-interest over consideration for others, diminishing intrinsic motivation and genuine care for others.
