My Inquiry question is: What is the ultimate shared goal behind every action that has motivated and driven humankind to achieve?
For this question I will be splitting my research to three steps, first section would be to identify what are some phyiscal or basic or survival needs that pushes human beings on doing certain actions, through this step we would be able to answer what are some common goals that humans need to fulfill that could motivate humans to do certain actions, revealing one of the desires which most human beings tries to achieve and what are some general needs that humans require and desires, showing the idea of some common goals human work towards.
Secondly, how does thinking, planning, socializing, emotional regulating and learning, these types of mental actions help humans achieve goals, and why are humans required to do these actions? This explores how these mental actions connects human goals and the results of the physical and mental work combined, and why humans often rely on mental actions to achieve goals, this could show what actions human have done mentally that could possibly relate to the ultimate shared goal of humanity, showing signs of what the general path humans are developing towards, revealing what is the achievement humans tried to acquire.
Lastly, identify what is the ultimate goal that all of humankind worked towards through out history that motivated humans to develop and evolve, by connecting the basic desires from section one and the general goals from section two, we will look at what humans sought to achieve throughout history and what goals humans seek in their daily lives. These could give us a clear idea of what humans seek as their ultimate share goal for all of humankind or it could provide us a direct and specific goal that all of human’s previous work that was towards.
This question could solve what the true goal that all of humankind has been working towards and that could benefit me by answering the question that has always been in my mind, and not only it benefits my community, it benefits everyone in the world by proving what humans should continuously work towards as their goal and aim at it.
