<p>Assignment: Is conscience a more powerful motivator than money, fame, or power?</p>
<pre><code> Although money, fame, and power are all very strong motivators, the strongest motivator of all is the desire to correct an injustice. Throughout the twentieth and twenty first centuries, time and again people have been galvanized to support a cause out of a desire to do something that is larger than individual desires. Evidence of this fact comes from the lives of men such as Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Jr., and Barack Obama.
At a young age, Mahatma Gandhi realized that his purpose in this world was much nobler than the desire to become powerful, rich, or famous. Gandhi set out to free India from the oppressive tyranny of British imperialism. Through his use of nonviolent marches such as the salt march, Gandhi was able to stir up Indians to urge the British to relinquish control of India to its native residents. In this endeavor, Gandhi was fairly successful in beginning India’s move toward independence. Mahatma Gandhi’s ideas ideas had a very profound impact on Martin Luther King, Jr.
Martin Luther King, Jr. was one of the most important reformers of the twentieth century. Early on in life, he gave up the pursuit of superficial goals, in favor of attempting to achieve equality for all citizens of the United States of America. King was able to carry on Gandhi’s tradition of nonviolent protests in a very effective manner. King’s desire to serve a greater purpose led to equality for all in the U.S.

<p>Another man who has pursued interests more important than money or power is Barack Obama, the first African-American president of the United States of America. Obama decided to dedicate himself to helping others soon after he graduated from college when he became a community organizer. He later entered politics so that he could be in a better position to help those most in need. In 2009, Barack Obama began his campaign to reform America in order to make it a more egalitarian and thus a better place.
While those who lack moral integrity are easily swayed to pursue money, power, or fame, people with sound value systems are more concerned with the nobler task of making the world a better place. Overall, power, money, and fame are all relatively powerful stimulants, but a desire to do good is the most powerful motive known to man.</p>
