| Mar 1, 2015 at 2:58 | comment | added | hunterhogan | You wrote, "Generally a rule is a standard which describes what not to do to avoid getting punished." This is true in Hellenistic-Roman cultures. In China, the role of rules (fa) has been closely studied. Paraphrasing one view: precise rules, such as a 55 mph speed limit, encourages people to always go 55 mph. General rules, such as do not drive too fast, encourages people to think about their actions. This comment box is too small to say much more. My perception is that your search will be frustrated if you do not consider other ways of thinking about the role of rules. | |

| Feb 27, 2015 at 2:57 | comment | added | abathur | @TessellatingHeckler I didn't say it was always capricious--I just said the connotation (i.e., general use) of rewards linked to good behavior skews that way. Rewards for good behavior aren't exactly an invention of contemporary capitalism. Perhaps I should've gone with the parenting/child example. | |

| Feb 26, 2015 at 22:24 | comment | added | TessellatingHeckler | 'Reward' isn't always capricious, irregular and arbitrary. Shops have 'reward schemes' and 'reward cards' which are completely clear about "meet these specific conditions (buy this, spend that much), and get this specific reward" ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loyalty_program ). | |
