Section 10-1: Maslows Hierarchy of Motivation?

Do any of you remember the Hierarchy of needs proposed by Abraham Maslow? For me it was one of the most interesting topics that we studied this semester and I wholeheartedly agree with Maslows views on the subject. When it comes to the subject of motivation and emotion I couldn't help but notice the parallels between the hierarchy of needs and the drivers behind motivation. The most basic of which is hunger driven motivation which would tie into the need for nourishment as a basic survival need at the base of maslows hierarchy. This should make it the largest driver of human motivation the hunger drive. However, there is also the Sexual motivation driver, which is irrefutably a stronger motivational driver than the hunger driver. In some models of the hierarchy of needs intercourse falls into the physiological needs section at the base of the tower, as opposed to the higher placed 'love and belongingness' section. If we base the hierarchy of needs explicitly off of motivational drivers this makes logical sense. Studies have shown a rat that presses a lever to receive food will stop pressing the lever once they have eaten their fill, however, a rat that presses an orgasm inducing lever will continually press said lever until death. This shows us that sexual desires are a more primal driver than even the desire for nourishment. This is likely because they have existed on a biological level longer than the need for chemical nourishment has. even microorganisms that consume energy on a cellular rather than chemical level follow the need to reproduce.

The two other motivational drivers that exist are Emotional drivers, and the need for achievement. If we follow the hierarchy of needs emotion comes next as people will feel the need for acceptance and belonging prior to self-actualization. Those who have achieved all prior levels of need though I would guess have a higher need for achievement than their peers and thus are more likely to pursue achievements than individuals who do not feel they have adequately met the prior levels of the hierarchy.

Section 10-2: The End: What motivates you?

So we are finally here. The End. The fruit of my labours. The final words inked. The crisis resolved. It's been quite the ride, and a week from now all of this will just be part of my memories. Fitting that the last chapter we studied was on motivation. If you think the next bit is off topic, it's not. In a very real way this is what this class has taught me.

What motivated me to come here and study? Why did I come back to school? I have reached the need for self-actualization. I've had higher paying jobs than I am in right now. I have lived in nicer homes than I currently reside. I have had more friends in the past. I have had less stress in my life by not attending school. I used to be someone else, I used to be dependant on someone else. I almost lost a family member while harboring hate towards them. I now live with that man, and I love him. I have watched a friend lose his mind. I have lost my own. I missed out on moments I will never get back. All of this because of paying too much attention to the other, and not myself. I had to have everything I knew ripped out from underneath me... and I had to survive that experience in order to grow and become who I am today.

My name is Paul Robin Kyle Wilson. I have learned. I am smarter than I ever gave myself credit for. I have great potential, that was previously unfulfilled. I owe myself more than I will ever owe anyone else. I will be all that I can be, and be a light for those around me. I believe in the power of the human spirit and its ability to get souls through their darkest hours. I am Paul Robin Kyle Wilson. I have finished growing up. I am now expanding my Horizons.

The End.

Thank you for sticking with me through this presentation.

I hope you have found it in some way practical in your own life,

and I hope that no matter where your journey takes you you find

success, love, joy, happiness, comfort, compassion and strength.
