This is exactly what happens when someone is threatened into stopping a bad behavior.</p><p>Threatening a person can actually stop someone from practicing a bad behavior but only when you are present, in your absent they return to the same bad behavior they are warned off.</p><p>Using smoking as an example, everyone is aware of it implications but the addiction becomes stronger than the threat. Not because the threat is not real but because it has become obsolete and the effect is not immediate. It gives them time to believe they are still doing well that even when it comes they gain little understanding of the actual cause</p>","appDepth":2,"appParentPermlink":"pkeb9e845","appParentAuthor":"funtraveller","musingAppId":"aU2p3C3a8N","musingAppVersion":"1.1","musingPostType":"answer"}" |
