Any topic (writer’s choice)

I have done two pages… one page is for section 1 and one page is for section 2 … do not use MLA OR APA format…. The format is not applicable … do whatever you have to do to make section 1 fit on one page, and the same for section 2

Section 1

As you’re reading in the text, there are many possible explanations for why people do the things they do.  In other words, there are many sources of motivation.  Look at the behaviors listed below. These behaviors cover a wide array of human activity, and no doubt represent a wide array of motivational forces.  For each of the behaviors listed, generate all of the reasons you can think of for participating in that activity. 

After you have done this, look over the set of reasons you’ve generated for all of the activities.  Are there some reasons that seem to stand out from the others?  How do the reasons you give relate to the theories of motivation discussed in your text?

Behaviors
1. working
2. watching television
3. drinking alcohol
4. playing sports
5. engaging in high-risk activities (e.g., sky diving)
6. attending college

Section 2

Select a movie or movie character and give a brief synopsis of how psychology drives the movie or character?
Example. Silence of the Lamb. Anthony Hopkins plays Dr Hannibal Lector, a clinical psychiatrist who had a psychotic episode and started to harm innocent people.  Jodie Foster plays a clinical psychologist who is performing an assessment on Dr. Lector but finds herself in harms way as a result of Dr. Lector’s influence.
