Freakanomics Video
I think while watching the film the most interesting segment to me was the idea of incentives and how they provide the ability for people to have a goal that will always motivate them to work. I thought the idea of how the girl was potty trained with candy was genius, until she began to understand the concept of hot it works and than began to abuse it. Also i thought that the children who were being payed to get good grades was pretty amazing. Some of them were able to really increase their grades while others were not effected by the incentive. It just goes to show that everyone takes incentives differently.
