Tyler, Jeannie, Margeaux, and Madhukar were sitting around Margeaux’s dining-room table working on a group marketing project. It was 2:00 a.m. They had been working since 6:00 p.m. and still had several hours’ work remaining.
“Oh, the misery,” groaned Tyler, pretending to slit his own throat with an Exacto knife. “If I never see another photo of a veggie burger, it will be too soon. Why didn’t we choose a more interesting product?”
“I think it had something to do with someone wanting to promote a healthy alternative to greasy hamburgers,” Jeannie replied sarcastically. “Right,” said Tyler, “I don’t know what I could have been thinking. Speaking of greasy hamburgers, is anyone else starving? Anybody want to order pizza or something?”
“No one will deliver up here this late,” Margeaux replied, “but I have a quiche that I could heat up.”
“Fancy,” Tyler quipped.
“You wish,” Margeaux said. “It came out of a box.”
“Sure, that sounds great, thanks,” Jeannie said. “I’m hungry too.”
“It doesn’t have any meat in it, does it?” asked Madhukar. “I don’t eat meat.”
“Nope, it’s a cheese and spinach quiche,” Margeaux said.
Tyler and Margeaux went off to the kitchen to prepare the food. Tyler took the quiche, still in its box, from the fridge. “Uh-oh,” he said. “My roommate is a vegetarian, and he won’t buy this brand because it has lard in the crust. Better warn Madhukar. He’s a Hindu, so I imagine it’s pretty important to him.”
“Shhh!” said Margeaux, “I don’t have anything else to offer him, and he’ll never know the difference anyway. Just pretend you didn’t notice that.”
“Okay,” Tyler said. “It’s your kitchen.”

Which philosophical issues are most important to Dollard and Miller
In: Psychology
Most theories of motivation distinguish between biological motives (e.g., for food, water, sex, warmth) and social motives (e.g., for achievement , autonomy, affiliation). Biological needs are generally essential for the survival of the group or individual. Social motives are acquired as a result of learning. While there are relatively few biological needs, people theoretically may acquire an unlimited number of social needs.
Although this statement is basically true, we know that the biological motives for food and sex are greatly influenced by learning and thus become social motives as well. To illustrate this point , please take the following questionnaire on your ideas about sex and sexual behavior.
