The feeling of being beneficial is what makes me want to learn. This motivation is not just limited to what benefits me, but how my knowledge can affect the lives of others. I am also motivated to learn more as I understand people around me and myself better, as I challenge my actions, and as I figure out why I do the things that I do. This learning could be a Kantian philosophy that makes me relate to my actions or a new economics concept that helps me better understand the role of the Syrian refugees on the Turkish economy. For me, learning is about being influenced by others and being inspired. For example, studying Bentham’s Utilitarianism, Aristotle’s concept of “telos” and Kant’s concept of duty in Philosophy inspired me to write a research paper about ethics of volunteering from the perspective of “for profit” firms and student volunteers.
