Every year from July 7th-14th thousands pack into Pamplona to start Spain's most famous bull-running fiesta to honour Navarre capital's patron saint, San Fermin.
In the bull-running a number of fighting bulls are let out onto the streets. The runners dash along in front of the bulls, aiming to feel the breath of the bull on their backs, getting as close as possible.
Today, we were talking in class about motivation, a reason to act in a particular way. What motivates people to participate in the running of the bulls?
We will never know the reason that motivated the first man to run in front of the bulls. The most common reason used to be the imitation of behavior, wanting to act like the older people that run with the bulls.
Hobby, passion, loyalty to the rite, promises, tributes?
Each runner is different and leads behind their story.
