What is needed is an alternative to both ways of controlling people through reward and punishment. Even praise can be a verbal bribe that gets people hooked on approval. If a person feels controlled during an experience they will come to remember or view this experience as unpleasurable despite the reward given.
You really are ignoring the human condition...we naturally crave approval, and there is nothing wrong with being inspired by it. Again, not taking it to extremes and everything in balance.
Very well said.
