Positive reinforcement is when you reward someone (person, child, pet, etc.) when they do what you want them to, and you ignore them when they do what you don't want them to do. Negative reinforcement, I believe, is when you punish someone for doing what you don't want them to do.
As far as their effectiveness, it seems that a combination of both is good. Positive reinforcement is essential, and negative reinforcement helps to round it out. It is, however, important to be careful with negative reinforcement because if you put too much attention on someone while trying to enact the punishment (IE, time out), then, subconsciously, they may enjoy even the negative attention and thus you will have a counterproductive effect.
A play on the multiple meanings of a word is called a pun. It is a form of wordplay that exploits homophones, similar-sounding words, or the different meanings of a single word for humorous or rhetorical effect.

Convergent movement refers to the coming together or merging of two or more things towards a common point or direction. In biology, it specifically describes the evolution of similar traits in unrelated species in response to similar environmental pressures. This phenomenon can lead to analogous structures that serve the same function but have different evolutionary origins.
Yes, the management developments at GE over the last century do seem to follow a similar pattern as the evolution of management theory. Both have evolved in response to changing market dynamics, technological advancements, and organizational needs. GE's management practices have adapted over time to incorporate key principles from different schools of management thought, similar to how management theories have evolved from scientific management to contingency theory and beyond.
Theme isn't the right word, but it's perhaps the unifying explaination for biology. It explains why mammals are different from reptiles, why we're similar to other primates. It explains elegantly why every fossil is found where it is found.
The rules for the sign (positive or negative) of the result of a multiplication is the same as division. For multiplication: Positive * Positive --> Positive Positive * Negative --> Negative Negative * Positive --> Negative Negative * Negative --> Positive For division: Positive / Positive --> Positive Positive / Negative --> Negative Negative / Positive --> Negative Negative / Negative --> Positive
They are always negative due to a negative plus a negative equaling a negative. It's similar to a positive plus a positive equaling a positive.

Positive plus positive is positive. Negative plus negative is negative. Positive plus negative is positive if the absolute value of the positive number is greater than the absolute value of the negative one. Positive plus negative is negative if the absolute value of the negative number is greater than the absolute value of the positive one.
Multiplying and dividing integers is real easy. All you have to do is do regular dividing and multiplying keeping in mind these simple rules: RULES: 1: When multiplying or dividing integers, when the numbers are a positive, positive they equal a positive. When the numbers are negative, negative they equal a positive. In other words, same signs equal positive. 2: This rule is very similar to the rule above. The only change is that when the signs are different, they equal a negative. ( negative, positive= negative, positive, negative= negative.) Please correct me if I'm wrong. Multiply integers- my notes from class positive x positive= positive positive x negative= negative negative x negative= positive Divide integers- again my notes from class positive divided by a positive= positive negative divided by a negative= positive negative divided by a positive= negative Dividing integers are simple if the number has a different sign than the other it is always negative but if they have the same sign its always positive ex. -20/5=-4 ex. -20/-4=-5
When you multiply any number by a negative number you reverse its sign. So positive numbers become negative, and negative numbers become positive. That is the meaning of negative multiplication; it is reversal. This is similar to the way that adding a negative number has the same effect as subtracting a positive number. Negative is the opposite of positive.
It is the same thing, since "integers" consists of positive and negative numbers (and zero).
Subtracting two positive fractional numbers, or adding one positive and one negative integer.
Yes. Stingy or miserly are similar words with a negative connotation.
Fundamental laws of electric charges: opposite charges (positive and negative) attract, similar charges (positive and positive or negative and negative) repel, somtimes charged objects will attract a neutral object.
If an altitude above sea level is positive, then an altitude below sea level is negative.If having money is positive, having a debt is negative.If gaining money is positive, losing money is negative (a negative gain).If an increase in speed is a positive acceleration, a decrease in speed is a negative acceleration.Any other similar case, where you define one thing as positive, and its opposite as negative.
