TKC QUESTION: IS CLEANING UP AFTER RIOT JUST NEGATIVE REINFORCEMENT???

For our amateur psychologist readers:

"Negative reinforcement is a term described by B. F. Skinner in his theory of operant conditioning. In negative reinforcement, a response or behavior is strengthened by stopping, removing, or avoiding a negative outcome, consequence or aversive stimulus."

And while we know that these do-gooders mean well . . . The fact is that their volunteerism risks offering a reward for illegal behavior.

  2. It's a nice gesture to clean up but don't you think the city should have done this? Where is the mayor did they even get a thank you? Did the mayor help at all?

    1. Fear mongering? I think you're getting this blog confused with the mainstream media.

      Cleaning up is a nice gesture but it's just a gesture. It would be better if the thugs didn't burn down and trash are sitting because of something they sell on TV. Ask for your hatred of this blog, I seen the stupid question come up over and over and again and if you can't handle reading a good source of information in Kansas City. Then you should probably just stick with the Sar.
