<h2>Prompt: Is conscience a more powerful motivator than money, fame or power?</h2>
<p>Conscience is in fact a more powerful motivator than money, fame, or power. It is a greater force for motivation, and several examples from history and literature prove that conscience prevails among all. </p>
<p>In history, there are many examples that portray conscience being a greater motivational force than money, fame or power. Mother Theresa, an English nun, came to India during the British rule, in 1920. After coming to India, she discovered how ill-treated the Indians were and the poor conditions they lived in. After seeing this, she decided to open up an Ashram, or orphanage, for not only those without parents, but also for those who needed better living conditions. Mother Theresa traveled all over India and built hundreds of orphanages for people, so that they didn't die. The most prominent one, the Aastha Ashram, housed over 10,000 people, including hundreds of children and families. The Aastha Ashram provided care to not only those who lived there, but also to those living in surrounding cities that needed help. As time went on, Mother Theresa built these sorts of orphanages in another 10 countries, not for money, fame or power, but to help the downtrodden survive. </p>
<p>In literature as well as history, there are numerous examples that portray the power of the conscience. In the novel, One Second After, by William R. Fortschen, the main character, John, must do everything he can to save his family, especially his daughter, and the citizens of his town, after their town is victim to an EMP, or electromagnetic pulse, attack. John, along with the city governor and police and the food department officials, develops a plan to help the people survive till the the US Marshall Forces could come and save them. He devises a plan to ration the food and medications to the citizens of the town and also plans to have guards patrol the city to prevent robberies of rations. Though John makes this plan for everyone in the city, his main concern for making it was for his daughter, Elizabeth, who was diabetic. That's why John devises a plan for rationing the food and medications, because his daughter needs both to survive. Clearly, John doesn't create the plan for fame, money or power; instead he creates it in order to save the lives of his neighbors, friends and family. </p>
<h2>As shown by the careful analysis of Mother Theresa's actions to help the poor and John's actions to save the citizens, conscience is a powerful motivator; even more powerful than money, fame or power. </h2>
