Extrinsic

1. Food
2. Customer Service
3. Building Businesses
4. Baking

2. Basis for the classification.

Extrinsic goods are a means of achieving intrinsic goods; they are designed to address issues that will result in intrinsic goods. For example, food addresses issues of hunger, customer service addresses issues of employment and client satisfaction, baking addresses issues of employment and hunger, and building business addresses employment issues.

The 19 items in the above list that make up the category of intrinsic goods are all necessary for a person’s fulfilment on their own.

3.    Difficulties experienced during the classification and how it was resolved.

It was challenging for me to classify some of the factors that contributed to the happiness of other people. For example, I had a hard time deciding how to classify teaching because it might be seen as a job, which would make it an example of something that belongs in the category of extrinsic goods. On the other hand, I was able to recall that the presenter taught in a voluntary capacity, and that the primary goal of teaching is the transmission of information to students.

4.   My personal favourite in the list above.

Daydreaming is the activity that I like the most personally. I find that I can achieve a high level of contentment and relaxation by walking around, sitting, or sleeping down and thinking about the past or daydreaming about the future, respectively.

5.  Difference between the two categories of good

Extrinsic goods are those that are obtained from the outside and solve problems; nonetheless, they do not in and of themselves generate happiness or a sense of fulfillment. On the other hand, intrinsic goods are those that come from the outside and contribute to the well-being as well as the enjoyment and fulfillment of a person.

6.  My greatest insight gotten from the exercise.

The knowledge and comprehension I gained as a result of finding out that there was a categorization of man’s fulfillment was the most beneficial takeaway for me from participating in this exercise. Before I realized that making money is an external benefit that cannot on its own bring fulfillment, I had allowed it to be the primary source of my contentment. However, I have now learnt that this is not the case. As a result of the shift in my perspective, I now place a greater priority on the intangible aspects of my life that bring the most satisfaction to me, such as my relationships with my friends and family.
