Dear researchers,
this is a very essential question based on the work of Kubanek et.al. about reward and punishment that has lately run the media where it was taken to suggest to punish bad behavior instead of rewarding good behaviour.
Would you please follow this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xot4z1CKFMo&feature=youtu.be
I must say for some reason I got a pretty scary feeling when I read several articles comming up with political ideas like "mild punishment is as good as reward" and "massive punishments makes one build up positive contextes".
Here we go what was said in one article: "If you threaten a child with a massive punishment when the child plays with a teddy, the child enhanced the teddy, while a mild punishment lead to a less attractive view." (translation from a german article).
Beside the fact that this is just unethical how was the child feeling about the one who threatened that poor thing with punishment? I guess as pretty unfair, right?
What I thought too was this: A too high and too low claim of truth are both experienced as unfair.
Now think about that: If people are experiencing politics anyway as unfair because of a too high claim of truth and if they come up with punishment that is experienced as unfair too wouldn't that after a while lead to a riot? Like in the US?
I am really looking forward to hear your opinion here.
