When we read "Ambush" we soon realize that it is quite true what one might suspect about O'Brien when we read about him - the fact that indeed he always seemed to wanted to hear emotional truth more than he did factual truth. There are multiple sentences which indicate this, but most commonly these are sentences when he starts talking and conceptualizing events in terms of their meaning, how they affected someone and how someone felt while they happened.
Explanation:
1.The first example that I can cite that explains "the theory of arousal" is when I had my physiological needs covered but I did not have a job, I felt that I needed to work, achieve personal goals
That is why, as this theory explains very well:
Humans seek an optimal level of arousal:
- Too low = boredom
- Too high = stress.
The second example has to do with the need to work and the type of work we do; for example if I need money to survive and help my family, I know I have to work, but if I study a career such as teaching that allows me to satisfy that need and at the same time feel comfortable and fulfilled with my work, that is a great incentive ; here the "impulse reduction theory" is fulfilled, which explains the following:
"When the need and an incentive come together, they make us feel
powerfully driven towards satisfaction "
2.When examining these two examples and comparing the two theories exposed we see that there is a great relationship; Although at first it is necessary to satisfy basic needs, then comes the satisfaction of social, security and self-realization needs as set out in the Maslow pyramid.
