Evolutionary Psychology: Remember the one-year old???

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  also a list that goes against the principal.
