Exploration

Why do we explore?  We know there is perhaps a gene that compels us to explore, but this doesn't explain the psychological basis of it. What is it that makes us want to take risks, try new things, go new places?  Answer this question and then REPLY to two of your classmates' answers.

  2. Human want to prove to whole universe that they are the strongest creature in the world, so after they conquer the earth, they start to set about to occupied the universe, I think this desire of conquer is the motivite of human to explor.

  3. In my opinion,human beings all hunger after knowledge naturally,since the moment that we have awareness.We want to realize who we are,where are we from and what’s the cognition of all the things.But most of the times human beings explore for showing their abilities or challenging.If we could landed on moon,why couldn’t we go farther?If birds could fly,so couldn't we make ourselves up in the sky?With these any kinds of thought,we intend to explore more.Desire pushes us go forward.

  6. I think the curiosity is the power to make us to explore. As we all know, the universe is huge and there have too many thing that we do not know and want to explore. Explore the curiosity is not useless. We can find new energy for our future.

  7. I think explorer is something innate to human beings have. Find new places where people can benefit, meet, discover new foods and cultures I think is why people explore. Take the risk to go other places it might be popular or something that really will call one's attention and therefore does not fear visiting places. But, I think the second question is very difficult to answer, you may have an answer and I think it is something that has no explanation.
