Article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motivation The wikipedia article on motivation discusses natural theories behind motivation. In order to make this more extensive and relative to multiple cultures, we are going to edit this and article to include environmental theories surrounding motivation. In doing this we will be able to demonstrate how the way in which people are raised can impact how they are motivated to do things. We will touch upon the differences in motivation between adolescents in the United States and adolescents in other more indigenous communities, in order to show how the source of motivation to complete work and tasks varies based on environment. Some factors relating to these differences amongst adolescent motivation, maybe influenced by the autonomy given and encouraged across cultures as well. This relates to the main idea of the course in that is speaks to how culture and environment impacts motivation which in turn has an effect on a person’s developmental outcomes. It is also important to note that motivation comes from different aspects of our culture and that motivation differs based on participation and environmental attitudes.
