Hillary Clinton's Intrinsic Motivation In The Democratic Party

Both candidates also followed a path of intrinsic motivation during the debate. Intrinsic motivation occurs when a person is affected by an internal stimulus, and systematically follows a specific course of action in order to obtain that stimulus that either evokes joy, or is elicited due to a moral compass. Since most critical thinkers believe that nothing is ever done solely due to amusement or for morals, interpreting those that claim to be motivated only intrinsically as falsely modest liars who want to be conceptualized as hard workers, they apply the concept of motives in order to explain the person’s behavior. A motive is a reason for performing an action, which is usually held sub rosa by the person who performed the action in order

Hillary Clinton seemed intrinsically motivated due to her decision to help improve the lives of many existing American groups, since it appeared that she couldn’t possibly have in-group favoritism due to similarities among such a wide array of people. Some voters, however, may find her tactic of supreme benevolence unappealing, believing that she does, in fact, have a motive for behaving so fair-minded towards everyone. For instance, since the leaders of the Democratic Party know that its followers are typically suppressed minorities, such as women, African Americans, and those of different sexual orientations, voters may believe that Clinton solely expressed the ideals of her party’s leaders since the Democratic Party wouldn’t want to lose their largest support groups, and her motive, therefore, was to gain continued support by them. These voters may conclude that Clinton was expressing in-group favoritism not towards the American people who support her party, but more so for the leaders of the Democratic Party themselves, since they have more similarities to her due to the fact that she was a United States Senator and Secretary of State

Other voters will appreciate her tactic, and find her appealing because they may interpret that she truly was motivated intrinsically due to the fact that she had empathy to the cause of women, since she herself is a woman, and that she could expand that empathy for other minorities. In addition, Clinton took a stand by stating that federal agents and legislation shouldn’t decide for pregnant women in choosing to carry or not to carry their unborn children to term. Clinton made this point because she stated that the impact of the decision to abort a child or to have him or her is a major choice that can have long-lasting consequences after the decision. Her stance seemed entirely intrinsically motivated since she held the same stance in foreign countries, in which her voice had no far-reaching impact, and yet she formed her decision based on a moral compass and on her observations. Voters will find her protective stance towards women appealing due to the fact that approximately half of the voters are women who do not want to see their rights abridged. Clinton’s supporters may, therefore, say that she is solely motivated due to her values since she is a woman who could
