Why is it wrong to give a child candy with the purpose of calming the child down, if the child was screaming and angry with the parent originally?

No no, if the child was furious with the parent, and the parent tries to make him calm down by using candy and other stuff, what would be wrong with that? What if it wasn't a child but a eigth grader or high schooler?

Because you should save all your candy for persuading them to enter your van.

You're rewarding the child's out of control behavior with candy?

Because it encourages them to scream for candy.

Parents are being selfish because they're not necessarily teaching their child, more like bribing, I think

You probably shouldn't use alcohol to put a baby to sleep either, just in case you thought it was okay.

Well there's nothing "wrong" with it but then it encourages the behavior because the child links misbehaving with a reward instead of just ignoring them or punishing them. It's positively reinforcing bad behavior which will only cause more frequent outbreaks of that bad behavior.

I mean sometimes it's ok, like if the kid has a legitimate reason for being upset but if he's just doing it to try and get something it's a nono.

It depends on what the child is screaming for. If the child has all his primary needs taken care of (food, water, enough attention, comfort, etc.) then reinforcing him for screaming just solely because he wants more will make him or her spoiled. You want the baby to eventually stop crying all the time for unnessary wants, thus you want to negatively reinforce him to stop crying through not giving into his whims and ignoring it.
