What is the difference between intrinsic and extrinsic motivation?
Intrinsic motivation involves performing a task because it’s personally rewarding to you. Extrinsic motivation involves completing a task or exhibiting a behavior because of outside causes such as avoiding punishment or receiving a reward.
Why do we need to decide morally?
A moral decision is a choice made based on a person’s ethics, manners, character, and what they believe is proper behavior. These decisions tend to affect not only our own well-being, but the well-being of others. Each of them is designed to deliver the most virtuous and just resolution to a moral dilemma.
Why is extrinsic motivation important?
Extrinsic motivation can be useful for persuading someone to complete a task. Before assigning a reward-based task, it’s important to know if the person doing the task is motivated by the reward being offered. Extrinsic motivators may be a useful tool to help children learn new skills when used in moderation.

Why do we need to be good?

Why should I act rightly and be good?
