My comments relate largely to news media:

(1) Availability, Accessibility - the more accessible, the larger penetration if information.

(2) Credibility (of media). The more credible the source, the more willing the public will be open to the information communicated.

(3) Diversity (of media outlets) - The more diverse the less polarization of public opinion. Diversity interplays with (2) credibility. I am unsure, but diversity may actually be inversely related to influence. The less diversity (for instance, a Communist==dictatorship country with a single media outlet), the stronger the control power (but less credibility at the same time).

In general, it should be desirable to maximize the three factors above for a well informed, civil society. In particular, news media's role should primarily be to inform, and not to influence.

ELEN [110]

Answer:

Intrinsically motivated

Explanation:

Since Kevin was not enrolled in a school nor have a job that his mathematical reasoning would help him either pass a test or solve a problem at work, the reason for his motivation is driven by internal rewards. Hence Intrinsic motivation can be defined as a behavior, not driven by any external motivation, but by internal rewards. The motivation for Kevin wanting to learn mathematics on his own comes from within and is naturally satisfying to Kevin.

Remaining safe from self-inflicted injury

The priority is safety; the child must be protected from self-harm. Repetitive behaviors are comforting, and unless they are harmful their limitation is not a priority. Although feeding independently is a basic need that may be achieved, it is not the priority. Children who need help with toileting are not necessarily incontinent, and it is not the priority.
