After you read the Atlantic article, comment below about your thoughts on this topic. Is it right? Does that influence you? Are you subject to operant conditioning? In what ways have you been conditioned? Give specific references to the article and examples when posting yes or no.  In addition to your post, you must reply to one other student.  (If you google or use outside sources – cite them 😉 )
