Psychology is the the study of the mind and behavior. This is important to understand because if we as a humanity want to help each other and try to make a better world for us to live we need to understand why we behave the way we do and why we. To understand a behavior takes the understanding of the person and of its environment as well. Animal hunters do this because of extrinsic motivations which is the desire to engage in an activity to achieve an external consequence. As a start hunting was done to show how humans were better and stronger than nature and that they could control it. Also men were the ones that killed animals to show they were alpha males and that they could be able to protect others.(THEIBAULT, J., Steinberg, R., MACHALEK, R., West's Encyclopedia of American Law. 2005., American Eras. 1997., The Columbia Encyclopedia, 6th ed.. 2013., et al. (2004, January 1)). According to Maslows hierarchy of needs having a home, food, water and other resources which they can have but they need to destroy the habitat of animals so they can then move up from the physiological level to the safety and keep moving up the achieve self actualization.Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs. (n.d.) An intrinsic motivation is the desire to engage in an activity for its own sake. Humans in order to live have made tools to make their lives easier and more productive but this has lead to things harming the environment and causing global warming. Humans made cars to make their transportation easier but with this came the over emission of CO2 to the atmosphere. Climate Change. (n.d.). We can use vicarious conditioning to help the hunters that get payed by people to capture animals see that the animals should be respected and that if we hunt them until they are almost extinct we can cause major problems to their ecosystem. another way we can help the stop of deforestation is to have a collectivism society, this will help people be able to live in smaller communities and take up less space for houses and if they collaborate the resources should also be lower. The field of Psychology can be used to change the world by helping others understand that we all are similar in some way and that our way of thinking and our drives are also similar. this then can be trsnslated into the wildlife to empathize with animals because we share our communities with them and they were originally living there before we took over. The major take away i have taken from Ap psychology is that there are always some conscious and unconscious motivations to our actions and behaviors.
