Describe motivational factors that led you to enroll at college and that keep you enrolled. Then explain how these motivational factors might change as you progress from your first days at Walden to your first or second year.

Discussion: Media, Technology, Peer Pressure, Violence, and Current Events
In your post, consider how a potential media stronghold over children and adolescents could lead to depressive symptoms.
For example, think about the media and its obsession with thinness, and particularly how this impacts female adolescents and the young-adult population. What do you think the relation is between over-viewing of idealized and unrealistic media portrayals and depressive symptoms?
Explain how rapidly depressive symptoms can lead to troublesome behaviors in direct correlation to media influence. Also reference co-morbid disorders that could potentially develop, such as eating disorders. Please research at least one real-world example to support your claims.

Review the resources on culture and motivation. Think about how culture affects motivation.
Identify, based on Maslow’s hierarchy of needs theory, any D-needs and B-needs that could be motivating your behavior to achieve a graduate degree. Determine whether culture plays a role in your motivation to complete your degree.
