Motivation
Motive may be defined as the mainspring, or the “why and wherefore” of any effort on the part of any individual or group of individuals. Motivation refers to goal-directed behavior. It means what a person will choose to do when several alternatives are available to him. It also refers to the strength of his behavior after he has exercised the choice, and the persistence with which will engage in such behavior.

WESTERN CULTURE IN DRESSING
There is a substantial influence of western culture on Indians. There is both positive and negative impact of western culture on India particularly on Indian youths. In past in India men were our traditional dresses, but now it is entirely changed, now the Indian youth moving with jeans, t-shirts, minis, micros, etc., here we can proud of that western culture, it bringing us with the fast moving world. We feel more comfortable with these types of costumes than our traditional ones. On one side we enjoy our rich culture and really admire it but on the other side we find youths moving in a wrong with these western culture. In western culture, dresses are usually considered women’s clothing. The whole world is moving towards a fashionable trend. Western Culture refers to the culture that has developed in the Western world. But this culture is dominating all over the world and has their lifestyles.
LIFESTYLE – SOCIAL VIEW
In sociology, a lifestyle is the way a person lives. A lifestyle is a characteristic bundle of behaviors that makes sense to oneself in a given time and place, and also to others including social relations, consumption, entertainment, and dress. The behaviors and practices within lifestyles are a mixture of habits, conventional ways of doing things, and reasoned actions. A lifestyle typically also reflects an individual’s attitudes, values or worldview. Therefore, a lifestyle is a means of forging a sense of self and to create cultural symbols that resonate with personal identity. All aspects of a lifestyle are not entirely accepted voluntarily. Each one has their own way of lifestyle. One may see the other group’s lifestyle in a wrong sense. Opinions differ about lifestyle.
Ancients
The ancients who wished to illustrate illustrious virtue throughout the kingdom, first ordered well their own states. Wishing to order well their states, they first regulated their families. Wishing to regulate their families, they first cultivated their persons. Wishing to cultivate their persons, they first rectified their hearts. Wishing to rectify their hearts, they first sought to be sincere in their thoughts. Wishing to be sincere in their thoughts, they first extended to the utmost their knowledge. Such extension of knowledge lay in the investigation of things.
Personal Development
Major religions, such as the Abrahamic and Indian religions, as well as New Age philosophies, have used practices such as prayer, music, dance, singing, chanting, poetry, writing, sports and martial arts. Apart from their other functions, each of these practices may form a part of personal development[citation needed] and further the broad goals of personal development: discovering the meaning of life, determining what constitutes a good life and how best to develop oneself.
Demands
In business, “lifestyles” provide a means by which advertisers and marketers endeavor to target and match consumer aspirations with products, or to create aspirations relevant to new products. Therefore marketers take the patterns of belief and action characteristic of lifestyles and direct them toward expenditure and consumption. These patterns reflect the demographic factors (the habits, attitudes, tastes, moral standards, economic levels and so on) that define a group. As a construct that directs people to interact with their worlds as consumers, lifestyles are subject to change by the demands of marketing and technological innovation.
Green Lifestyle
The lines between personal identity and the everyday doings that signal a particular lifestyle become blurred in modern society. For example, “green lifestyle” means holding beliefs and engaging in activities that consume fewer resources and produce less harmful waste (i.e. a smaller carbon footprint), and deriving a sense of self from holding these beliefs and engaging in these activities. Some commentators argue that, in modernity, the cornerstone of lifestyle construction is consumption behavior, which offers the possibility to create and further individualize the self with different products or services that signal different ways of life.
BOOKS AND LIFESTYLE
It is very important to read books right from the childhood and it’s a good habit too. Especially at a young age, things like television and the computer can be very damaging to a young mind. And sitting on a computer for a long time can lead to unstable mental problems and nervous breakdowns. Also computer causes a person to get glasses at an earlier age. A good substitution for this is reading books. Any kind of book, even if it is just a comic, magazine, or novel it is always good to improve our knowledge. Books force kids to get an imagination, imagining characters in the book. Also, books increase your vocabulary. Reading books is especially necessary for maturing young age. When they grow they need to know many things and reading books will help them to gain worldly knowledge.
Lifestyle
In sociology, a lifestyle is the way a person lives. A lifestyle is a characteristic bundle of behaviors that makes sense to both others and oneself in a given time and place, including social relations, consumption, entertainment, and dress. The behaviors and practices within lifestyles are a mixture of habits, conventional ways of doing things, and reasoned actions. A lifestyle typically also reflects an individual’s attitudes, values or worldview. Therefore, a lifestyle is a means of forging a sense of self and to create cultural symbols that resonate with personal identity. Not all aspects of a lifestyle are entirely voluntaristic. Surrounding social and technical systems can constrain the lifestyle choices available to the individual and the symbols she/he is able to project to others and the self.
