I am personally motivated by a number of factors, including:

• The desire to learn: I am constantly curious about the world around me and I love to learn new things. I am motivated by the challenge of understanding complex concepts and solving difficult problems.
• The desire to be helpful: I want to use my knowledge and skills to help others. I am motivated by the idea that I can make a positive impact on the world, even if it is in a small way.
• The desire to be creative: I enjoy using my imagination to come up with new ideas and solutions. I am motivated by the challenge of creating something new and original.

These motivations can be linked to a number of theories of motivation, including:

• Maslow’s hierarchy of needs: According to Maslow, human beings have a hierarchy of needs, starting with the most basic physiological needs and moving up to more complex needs such as self-actualization. My motivations for learning, being helpful, and being creative can be seen as self-actualization needs.
• Herzberg’s two-factor theory: According to Herzberg, there are two types of factors that motivate people: hygiene factors and motivator factors. Hygiene factors are necessary to prevent dissatisfaction, but they do not necessarily motivate people to perform at a high level. Motivator factors, on the other hand, are the things that truly motivate people to do their best work. My motivations for learning, being helpful, and being creative can be seen as motivator factors.
• Deci and Ryan’s self-determination theory: According to self-determination theory, people are motivated by three basic needs: autonomy, competence, and relatedness. Autonomy is the need to have control over one’s own life and to make one’s own choices. Competence is the need to feel capable and effective. Relatedness is the need to feel connected to others. My motivations for learning, being helpful, and being creative can all be seen as ways of satisfying these three basic needs.

Empirical research on motivation has also shown that the factors that motivate me are important for overall well-being and performance. For example, a study by researchers at the University of Pennsylvania found that people who are motivated by intrinsic factors, such as learning and growth, are happier and healthier than people who are motivated by extrinsic factors, such as money and status. Another study, conducted by researchers at the University of Michigan, found that people who are more self-determined are more likely to achieve their goals and to be satisfied with their lives.

Is beauty in the eye of the beholder, or are there universal norms for physical attractiveness?

There is no doubt that beauty is to some extent subjective. Different people have different preferences for physical appearance. However, there is also evidence that there are some universal norms for physical attractiveness.

For example, studies have shown that people from different cultures tend to agree on what makes a face attractive. This suggests that there are some objective features that make people more or less attractive.

Some of the features that have been shown to be universally attractive include:

• Symmetry
• Clear skin
• Healthy teeth
• Good hair
• Average features

However, it is important to note that these are just general trends. There are many people who do not fit these criteria who are still considered attractive. Ultimately, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

What are the biggest changes in sexual attitudes that have happened in our society during your lifetime? Have they been accompanied by changes in behavior?

The biggest changes in sexual attitudes that have happened in our society during my lifetime include:

• A more accepting attitude towards homosexuality and bisexuality
• A more open attitude about sex before marriage
• A more tolerant attitude towards non-monogamous relationships
• A greater awareness of sexual harassment and consent

These changes in attitudes have been accompanied by changes in behavior. For example, the rate of same-sex marriage has increased significantly in recent years. Additionally, more and more people are cohabiting before marriage, and the average age of first marriage has increased.

However, it is important to note that these changes have not been evenly distributed across society. For example, people of color and LGBTQ+ people are still more likely to experience discrimination and stigma related to their sexuality.

Overall, the changes in sexual attitudes and behavior that have happened in our society during my lifetime have been positive. However, there is still more work to be done to create a society where everyone is free to express their sexuality without fear of discrimination.
