The human race has many motivators – stimuli that cause us to behave in a certain fashion or refrain from behaving in a certain fashion. The desire for approval is a huge motivator, relied on for centuries by parents who would tell you sadly how disappointed they were in your behaviour rather than yelling at you. The need for social acceptance is another powerful motivator. Just cast your mind back to how you donned those pastel pink knickerbocker trousers as a teenager in the 1980s, even if they did not suit you at all – but all the cool kids were wearing them. And then there is probably our greatest motivator: fear. Fear of a hiding is all that will dissuade a ten-year-old boy from trying to climb on the roof (again).
