Stories told in cultural context over and over again perpetuate a common understanding. These cultural narratives serve as guidelines for each new generation to act and follow but what if these show us historical mistakes?<\/p>\n

Let’s take the american dream for example: Work rigorously in our nation and you’re going to be big one day.<\/p>\n

Now there’s obvious controversy with this phrase in regards to privilege but this article is going to focus on a different overarching problem with this statement.<\/p>\n

This statement is usually taken by route of “One day. it’ll all pay off” and there’s a small problem with the fact we say “pay off”. Our society expounds on:<\/p>\n

receiving a reward= success<\/p>\n

That’s why so many people are chasing fame and money, but maybe don’t feel right doing that. In journal published by Tetyana Pudrovska and Amlia Karraker in 2014, CEO’s have almost double the depression rate of the general public.<\/p>\n

So why is that these ultra famous, ultra rich people are feeling a dissonance?<\/p>\n

Extrinsic is the necessity for a physical reward, perhaps as a “prize” for completing a certain task or mission. It can be essential to reward a routine task like multiplication facts in a classroom, but there’s another vital source of motivation that’s more important.<\/p>\n

Enter Intrinsic motivation.<\/p>\n

Intrinsic motivation can help all humans become more satisfied with their goals and lifestyles.\u00a0 As teachers we should remember what the difference between intrinsic and extrinsic is in order to put into practice. Intrinsic has three parts to what makes it up. Need help remembering the three? Just think about how to AMP people up.<\/p>\n
