AP Exam Sign Up Sheet

Introduce Motivation- Where does it come from?  Can I get some...

Big Picture- Looking at the diversity of needs that underlie our thoughts, behaviors, and the choices we make.

Discussion: What motivates people to action? Pursuit of pleasure and avoidance of pain generally promotes our survival and explains much of what we do.  However sometimes the principal is counterproductive.  In your group generate a list of things we do that confirm the seek pleasure and avoid pain principal and a list that but also a list that goes against the principal.  

Can you explain the motivation behind these two eating disorders?
