Motivation Two Cases Examined the Term Paper

In this case one may imagine the student who attending class in school and cannot concentrate on what is being taught because their stomach is rumbling from lack of having eaten and they also have a headache from a general lack of nutrition. Furthermore, this student has no sense of security or safety and is nervous and anxious.

Example 2: The individual in this example is not hungry and they are not tired but they are nervous because their parents fought all night and this resulted in their being awake and scared the neighbors would call the police again and that their parents would wind up in jail by morning. This individual has no inner motivation to learn because they are worried and stressed about their own safety and security in their home life. This individual may very well be extrinsically motivated to learn but have not reached the level within the hierarchy of needs by which to become intrinsically motivated to learn.Example 3: The individual in this example has good nutrition, a safe and secure home life and because all of their lower levels needs are met as posited in Maslow's theory of motivation, this individual is intrinsically motivated to learn. They are interested in their classes and hold a genuine desire to learn.
