Hey! Great show today. I'm studying to become a teacher and I hope to integrate creativity into my lesson plans all the time. Also, too bad the tuition for the Blue Man school is about 27,000 dollars! Anyway, being a university student can be very hard in a variety of aspects so I hope that when I'm a teacher, I don't forget what being a student and learning new things is like. Thanks everyone for your time and effort in making this show! What you guys are doing is awesome and I give you all props for speaking your mind and telling your personal stories. Great job :) I'll hopefully be tuning in next week (if I don't have a ton of homework) and hope to call in to the show soon! Thanks again, godspeed on your journey through the dimensions of philosophy and ethics! ~Anna Spencer

Socrates said that talking about virtue and the good life is one of the most important things a human being can do. That's where "Ethics-Talk" fits in. Housed in the Department of Philosophy and Religion at Central Michigan University (CMU), The Center for Professional and Personal Ethics brings you discussions about ethical issues, both pure and applied. For us at EthicsTalk -- "ethics" is broad and encompasses things that affect a human being's flourishing. To that end, students working with the Center discuss ethics-related topics such as academic integrity, intrinsic motivation, procrastination, and cultivating self-regulation and other powerful habits. Additionally, we discuss study and motivational strategies related to intimidating endeavors such as studying for the bar exam. We are also very interested in how technology can either promote or hinder flourishing and discuss "media ecology" issues including the thought of Walter Ong and the concept of "digital virtue". In addition to our student produced show, scholars, authors and practitioners (such as Michael Strong, Anya Kamenetz, Lindsay Hyde and Thomas Farrell) discuss ethics related issues with the Center's Director. To learn more about the Center, visit us at http://ethics.cmich.edu and follow us on twitter at http://www.twitter.com/ethicstalk. IMPORTANT NOTE: because of a defect in blogtalkradio's feed, only the last 30 shows are displayed in this itunes feed. So we set up ANOTHER itunes feed which has the complete archives. Our first show aired on 1/22/09, and continued each week thereafter. There are some great older shows and if you want our COMPLETE archives, go to itunes and look for the hedgehog. Just type in "Ethics Talk" in the search field in itunes and click on the hedgehog. Oh, and we like the hedgehog for the same reason that Jim Collins does.

In this show, we discuss an important theory of motivation known as Self-determination theory. According to self-determination theory, human flourishing depends upon satisfying three fundamental needs: the need for autonomy, for competence, and for relatedness. Central to this theory’s definition of “autonomy” is the notion of an intrinsically motivating activity -- an activity done for its own sake rather than for the sake of external rewards like money, grades or ‘status’. Joining us will be special guest, Dr. Chantal Levesque-Bristol, associate professor of psychology who specializes in self-determination theory. Dr. Bristol also is the Director of the Faculty Center for Teaching & Learning at Missouri State University. Our objective in this show is to introduce the listener to self-determination theory as well as reveal its ancient roots in the philosophy of Aristotle.
