A STORY TO BEGIN WITH:
In order to circumscribe the phenomenon of moral motivation, curcio (2008) uses a convincing story: it is friday evening. the soldiers want to leave for the weekend. the commander of the company discover that, after the exercise with live ammunition, three hand grenades are missing. a certain commander stops the weekend leave and orders a search for the missing weapons.
Other commanders disagree with this action. the commander, who chooses to retain the 300 soliders, albeit with all the problems of dissatifaction and grumbling, has-what we call- responsibility motivation. he is motivated to change the situation and to ensure that children should not be exposed to the danger of an explosion. the other commanders do not have responsibility motivation.
As curcio shows, however, most commanders are at the same stage of the DIT (Defining issues test) measure (See rest,1986), the same intelligence characteristics, similar social contexts, similar status in the military force, and even similar status in the private job carrier (Switzerland has no professional army but only a public militia army) etc.
thus, if the personality constraints are the same. yet action differs so fundamentally, responsibility motivation, or moral as a general construct is at stake. interviews elicit that: all people have motives for acting or not acting (cognitive disequilibrium): all have situational knowledge for accepting or denying its seriousness: all reflect about possible consequences (cognitive equilibrium gap) some do not see the action possibilities (seeing the action as impossible): some are denying the sense if necessity (no necessity for acting) some show the will to act against resistance, some try to overcome the fear (very high emotional fear or shame blocking the action) and some do or not use their moral identity concept to balance justice, care and truthfulness in this situation. furghermore, some even show no effort aimed at accomplishing the perceived goals (No volition)

Jawaban:
, here are the answers to your questions:
1. **How curcio describe the moral motivation phenomenon to the reader?**
Curcio describes the moral motivation phenomenon to the reader by telling a story about a commander who cancels the weekend leave for his soldiers because three hand grenades are missing. The commander does this because he is motivated to ensure that children are not exposed to the danger of an explosion. Curcio argues that this is an example of moral motivation, which is the willingness to act in a way that is right, even when it is difficult or inconvenient.
2. **Why is the commander in the moral story cancelingbthe weekend leave?**
The commander in the moral story is canceling the weekend leave because he is concerned about the safety of the children in the area. He knows that the missing hand grenades could be dangerous, and he does not want to take any chances. He is willing to inconvenience his soldiers in order to make sure that the children are safe.
3. **In your opinion, what is responsibility/moral motivation?**
In my opinion, responsibility/moral motivation is the willingness to act in a way that is right, even when it is difficult or inconvenient. It is the belief that we have a responsibility to others and to the world around us, and that we should act in a way that upholds our values.
4. **People ppssess their own reason to do or not to do,explain their motive to do or not to do an act?**
People have their own reasons for doing or not doing things. Some people are motivated by their own self-interest, while others are motivated by a sense of duty or responsibility. Some people are motivated by fear, while others are motivated by hope. There are many different reasons why people act the way they do, and it is important to understand these reasons in order to understand human behavior.
5. **Based on the story above which one you will chose? why? explain it!**
If I were in the commander's shoes, I would have made the same decision to cancel the weekend leave. I would have felt a responsibility to the children in the area to make sure that they were safe, and I would have been willing to inconvenience my soldiers in order to do so. I believe that it is important to act in a way that is right, even when it is difficult or inconvenient.
I hope this helps!
