In this example, the reinforcement is the boss's praise.

What is reinforcement?

A belief or habit of behavior is encouraged or established through the process of reinforcement. In this instance, the manager commended his hourly workers for a job well done. The employer hopes that the employees' hard work will be rewarded with the compliments. The boss's praise serves as the reinforcement in this instance. The employer believed that the compliments would motivate the staff to put in more effort.

Punishment results in a behaviour being decreased, whereas reinforcement results in an increase in the behaviour. Punishment can be used in a positive or bad way, much like reinforcement. The likelihood of a behavioural response is increased by all reinforcers, positive or negative.

Dominik [7]

There is no objective answer to this question, as both sides have arguments that support their views.

If you believe that you are bound by Hobbes' argument, it is because of tacit consent. Tacit consent means that, even though you have not explicitly agreed to follow laws, you have indicated your agreement through other means, for example, by using the public services of the government or by remaining within the limits of your country. Also, you could argue that any rational person would prefer to follow the rules of the government than to live in the state of nature. Therefore, if you are rational, your consent is assumed. Finally, you could also argue that while you did not explicitly agreed, maybe your ancestors did, which still binds you as a member of the same society.

On the other hand, if you believe that you are not bound by Hobbes' argument, you could argue that any contract that is not freely agreed upon is not valid. As the government uses force to make you act according to the law, you cannot be considered to be freely consenting. Also, you can argue that agreeing to follow some rules does not imply following <em>all</em> of the laws of the country. Finally, a common argument against Hobbes is the lack of empirical data. As we do not know if the state of nature is actually bad, or if the contract ever happened, the government cannot gain its legitimacy in that way.
