MCSpicerack Posted October 22, 2006 Report Share Posted October 22, 2006 Hey guys, Just wondering what the adcom might be looking for in this answer? I looked up voluntarism, which means "the principle of relying on voluntary action". Are they looking for self-directed motivation in our activities, or are they actually looking for the spirit of volunteerism, but actually chose the wrong word? Thanks for your help!

MCSpicerack Posted October 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2006 cool! thanks for your help Magnum... kinda weird that they chose such a similar word because voluntarism and volunteerism do have things in common. MC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
