Again, this is why i said you are retarded. You want to sound smart but you completely confuse two entirely different ideas as you lecture as the expert. Using your own example, "The Ben Franklin Effect" is an observation of peoples tendency to reciprocate. I.e. - you do something really nice for me, and I then feel obligated to do something really nice for you. This is part of the glue that holds a society together, where you basically earn social credits that can be redeemed in your time of need.
That has absolutely NOTHING to do with the observation that if I do something for you, you then have a greater tendency to be more lazy and expect others to continue to keep doing for you, even to the point of creating dependence, instead of you doing for yourself... which is exactly what the OP was talking about.
So think you need to "READ READ READ" as my comprehension not only of written English but of the fundamentals of psychology and sociology is just fine.
