the positivist sees the glass half full
the negativist sees it half empty.
if we put a child in seclusion as a consequence of an unacceptable behaviour
is it a removal of a positive reinforcer (company)
or the deliverance of something negative (isolation)?They are just two different ways of looking at the same thing.
Most things you can say one way
You can say the other.Instead of saying you are unhappy with the way things are being done currently (e.g., with Bush)
How about saying what you think could be a good thing to do to make an even better USA or world or whatever?I am struggling to come to grips with the problem here...
