intrinsic goods
practice makes perfect … easy to yourself as an individual because YOU put the time in
These goods are often considered to be worthwhile simply because of their inherent qualities or characteristics, rather than because of any external factors such as their usefulness or their ability to fulfill some other purpose.
ex. you are studying for the value of the knowledge, not for an external grade
ex. love, truth, knowledge
extrinsic goods
value of what the thing is actually worth to you
- valued due to the benefits it provides
ex. fame, social status, power, money
zero sum
there is ONE winner .. everyone else is a loser (can encourage the mindset that you have to do anything/everything to compete and be first)
non zero sum
not one single prize … the view that everyone’s here to do their best
not limited to a win-lose situation
ex. negotiation
