Barry Schwartz Ted Talk made me think why we as humans work.
This has been a conventional task humans have done since the early ages. The
simple answer is for money, however the answer is beyond that. We can change
the way we view society through our thoughts and ideas.
We as humans work because the technology of ideas continue
to advance. Although, incentives make the task much easier that does not change
the fact that we may enjoy some part of it. Doctors, Priests, and nuns work.
When you think about each of these persons, money is not what first comes to
mind. A doctor who works for money will be a poor doctor, and a Priest who works
for money will not care about the livelihood of his people. This too goes for
workers of any job. The jobs people work may be tedious to some, but too
that individual it is an idea of technology. As stated in the video poverty
oppressed individuals rise in revolt, poverty due to inadequacy individuals shrink
in despair, and poverty because of God’s will individuals result in prayer.
This is because of the social science we adhere to.
