I agree with the behavioral perspective because it reflects the true nature of human beings. Humans
always strive to maximize their benefit; they do work for some value. The value can be in food, currency,
or appreciation as classical conditioning reflects the stimuli that motivate a certain behavior. Ivan Pavlov
perfectly depicted that humans or animals can learn a particular behavior if provided with a stimulus.
Moreover, it also explains operant conditioning, suggesting that the person’s motives can explain a
person’s behavior. Therefore behavior is the result of reinforcement, both positive and negative, or
punishment. If a behavior is rewarded or positively reinforced and fulfills the motivation of a perform to
behave in a certain way, it will lead towards desired behaviors and vice versa.
