Appreciation and gratitude get good press: They are central virtues in many religious and secular ethical frameworks, core in positive psychology research, and they come highly recommended by the self‐improvement set. Generally, appreciation and gratitude feature as good things, in popular consciousness. Of course, on an Aristotelian model, the belief that these are virtues implies they are something people can get right or wrong. This paper examines bad appreciation and bad gratitude, characterizing forms of appreciation and gratitude at the center of some major social norms and practices, and demonstrating that they mask familiar oppressive expectations and power relations.

反对母亲节和员工感谢日以及压迫性期望的其他表示方式，以追求卓越和福利

欣赏和感激得到了良好的宣传：它们是许多宗教和世俗道德框架中的核心美德，是积极心理学研究的核心，并且受到自我完善体系的高度推荐。通常，在大众意识中，欣赏和感激是一件好事。当然，在亚里士多德模式下，相信这些是美德就意味着它们是人们对与错的东西。本文考察了不良的欣赏和不良的感谢，以一些主要的社会规范和实践为中心来描述欣赏和感谢的形式，并证明它们掩盖了熟悉的压迫性期望和权力关系。
