Forum 2.5 - Similar Motivations?

9/30/2018

9 Comments

 
Guiding Thought Question: How are the motivations for humans to perform certain tasks going to be similar to the motivations for animals? How will they be different? Provide hypothetical examples to illustrate your point.

Today's Learning Objective: Students will learn about the psychological factors connected to the ideas of motivation and then examine examples of them by observing animals behavior in the zoo.

I think it would be the same because to get someone to do something you would say well if you do this then You get this

Humans and animals do different things to do the same thing survival. Animals hunt and fine food to live, but people work to make money to get food to survival.

motivation for humans could be just emotional or inspirational, while animals have motivation to find food or to find a mate. A humans motivation could be literally anything such as wanting to slim down or to get up and walk, while an animals sole drive is to find food, survive, and to find a mate.

Some people when they set their mind to something will do anything in their power to accomplish it, some animals think the same. For example the video you showed in biogeography yesterday about the cat that jump off a cliff while holding his prey and didn’t let go.

Humans and animals have their instinctual motivations, such as eating or scratching a horrible itch right behind your ear with your hind leg because it's the only way to reach it due to your forelegs not being flexible enough.

Humans, however, seem to care more about living than survival. We have more emotional pursuits.

Both animals have motivation for survival and reproduction. Humans and some other animals have the motivation for companionship. Humans have the to advance and develop new things.

They are similar in the way that they both work for things that they want. They try and accomplish things when it is benefitting them. Such as working for a new toy or working for their favorite food.

Humans and animals both do things for survival like looking for food, though humans have an easier time than animals when finding food. However, humans are more complex and emotional so we do things just because we want to. There isn't always some deep instinctual motivation for survival.

Motivations will perhaps be similar with regard to those “carnal” desires—food, sensual pleasures, territorial/possessive behaviors.

Perhaps “higher thinking” spawn motivation for “higher thinking” animals—greater learning and articulation of, say, scientific or theoretical principles.
