Question 1 . FEAR

Fear can be described as a person 's reaction to a dangerous situation and this forces the person to avoid the situation . It is an emotional threat in form of harm . Fear induces responses such as artenal pressure and increased heart rate

Roles of Fear in Both Positive and Negative Situation on Human Motivation

Learning as a process can be tied to human motivation in several ways In the first instance if a person 's level of motivation is least , this person will tend to give up much quickly than intended (Franken , 2007 This is common in real life situation . I would pick in the case of a firm whereby workers are not motivated in the workplace . This lack of motivation could be in the form of unhygienic conditions in the place of work , lack of proper equipment to carry out tasks effectively or even low wages . All these factors mentioned above adversely affect job performance in an organization and learning . It is therefore , essential that these workers get motivated . This could be achieved through wage increments , reward on performance and many other options that will increase the work force interest in...
