Problem: You must write a 2,000 word essay that presents and analyzes one intrinsic and one extrinsic goal in your own life. Using the definitions you learned in this course, you must explain what makes them intrinsic and extrinsic. Some intrinsic goals may include keeping a daily journal or exercising regularly. Extrinsic goals may include achieving a certain GPA or a job promotion.
After presenting and explaining each goal, you must explain how you plan to achieve happiness and growth, using the theories of Maslow, Rogers, and Seligman as a foundation. Additionally, you must conduct external research and incorporate at least three peer-reviewed journal articles to supplement your analysis and support your argument.
How has the pursuit of these goals affected you psychologically, whether positively or negatively? How do these theories shed light on the real-life value of these goals? Make sure that your essay includes an original, defensible thesis that explains the what, how, and why of your goals.
