Positive Reinforcement

Positive reinforcement also referred to as reinforcement will occur when a response or behavior is followed by a stimulus that will encourage or increase the frequency of a behavior. Negative reinforcement also known as escape, it occurs when a behavior or a response is followed by the removal a stimulus and thus increases the frequency of occurrence of that behavior. Automatic reinforcement is an occurrence that is evident when a person’s behavior creates an outcome which is favorable without the influence of another

Moses says God led His children in the wilderness forty years that He might humble them. In verse 3 he says, “He humbled you and let you be hungry and fed you with manna which you did not know, nor did your fathers know, that He might make you understand that does not live by bread alone, but man lives by everything that proceeds out of the mouth of the Lord.”

The Bible’s vision of a just society was very different from advanced agricultural empires. It condemns the violence at the root of the agrarian state and advocates for the fair treatment of all people of the land. Egypt was known to be an extreme example of systemic oppression and the Israelites were forced to live unbearable lives with every kind of slave labor on them with little reward. After destruction of the Israelite kingdom, they created a society that was more reflective of this fairness by ensuring land “remained in possession of the extended family… loans…were obligatory…wages were paid promptly… contract servitude was restricted” and more (Armstrong, 106). The Hebrew dilemma that arose from this type of living was that Yahweh kept

The story of the Burning Bush was another way God delivered Israelites from slavery in Egypt. God revealed himself to Moses in a holiness way that he has never done before in a burning bush that did not burn out. Moses was the first to ever actually see

13 Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, 14 but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”

Following with The Burning Bush, Raphael shows us the story of Moses who finds a burning bush. While burning, he notices that the bush actually doesn’t consume: it is the Eternal One, who reveals to be God asking Moses to return to Egypt and get back the children of Israel to the land of Canaan.

The purpose of this action research project is to pursue methods to reduce the number of dorm infractions with a high school girl’s dormitory. The second objective for this action research project is to subconsciously motivate residents to pursue good behavior and actions without having to instruct them to do so. When all parties are operating on an equal level of respect and understanding, there is greater flexibility and therefore a better quality of life for all parties involved. If there is a relationship between the faculty and students that is based on trust and respect, as opposed to opposition and anger from being corrected for their actions, then the smaller dorm community will continue to prosper and be a desirable place to live where students and faculty strive to be the best possible version of themselves and a positive contributor to the greater society.

Jesus tells the parable of the sower and the seeds- each different soil that seed is planted on results in different levels of health and growth and represents a variety of responses to the Gospel. Mark writes this: “the seed on the rocky soil represents those who hear the message and immediately receive it with joy. But since they don’t have deep roots, they don’t last long. They fall away as soon as they have problems or are persecuted for believing God’s word.”

When hearing and contemplating the word ‘pitfall’ it is important to understand that in the interpretation and exposition of the Old Testament these are avoidable and unnecessary dangers, but are all too commonplace. In interpreting the Old Testament it is often very easy to self-relate or seek private interpretation of the scripture, when the authoritative nature of the scripture has already given an interpretation as the Word speaks for itself.

Reinforcement is the attempt to develop or strengthen desirable behaviour by either bestowing positive consequences or withholding negative consequences2. Positive reinforcement induce behaviours of a pleasant consequence and Negative reinforcement increases the frequency of behaviour through the contingent removal of an unpleasant consequence. It is normal that Reinforcement works well to a new task.

If I was to be hired as the principal of Marshall Metro High School, I would use four types of reinforcements positive, negative, extinction, and punishment reinforcement (Kinicki & Williams, 2013, p. 395-396). These reinforcements will give the students the correct behavior they need in order to achieve their goals of graduating and stop the negative behavior of being late or not showing up to class (Kinicki,2013, slide 23). Being that attendance is what I am working on, I want to make sure to handle it in an appropriate way. I could give out a pizza party to classrooms that have perfect attendance, but how is that really fair for the students who show up every day and there is that one who does not want to come? I need to work on each individual who has the worst attendance rate first by positive reinforcement.

Mental limits are found everywhere but, can those limits be stretched? Here we live in a world of controversial motivation methods, so the big question, is it better to use positive reinforcement or discipline to see an increased test score and memory? Both have reasoning behind their motivation methods but which one truly make you motivated motivated downright dedicated.

Ever since Edward Jenner’s invention of the vaccine in 1796, it has been questioned whether vaccines do more harm than good. For decades, there have been introductions of new immunizations, each with their failed and successful attempts. With each year come new trials and studies, all seeking to answer the question everyone is asking: do the benefits of vaccinations outweigh the risks? The major advantage of vaccines is that they prevent diseases, both life-threatening and non-life-threatening.

a messenger came to Job and said, “The oxen were plowing and the donkeys were feeding beside them, and the Sabeans fell on them and carried them off, and killed the servants with the edge of the sword;... another came and said, “The fire of God fell from heaven and burned up the sheep and the servants, and consumed them;... another came and said, “The Chaldeans formed three columns, made a raid on the camels and carried them off, and killed the servants with the edge of the sword;...While he was still speaking, another came and said, “Your sons and daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother’s house, and suddenly a great wind came across the desert, struck the four corners of the house, and it fell on the young people, and they are dead; I alone have escaped to tell

A positive reinforcement I always use with my children. When it first came down to potty train was very hard. I was talking to other mothers about potty training. They told me every time they use the pot to give them a treat or take them to the dollar store to get a toy. When they just feel like they don’t want to go to the bathroom to spank them. So I told myself it wasn’t going to work at all. So about a week later I try it. It work some days but not all but if they did use it or didn’t I gave a reward or they got a spanking. I soon realize my oldest daughter feel like if I continue to buy pull ups she was going to continue to wear them. So I stop buying them and start buying her panties she went to the bathroom with no problem and till this
