Based on what I have learned about people from personal experience, I would say there is no one goal that all humans are interested in. The goal that I believe comes closest to satisfying all people is very primeval. To every other organism, minus a minimal few, passing on the genetics of a species is the overall goal of life. I would say that this applies to most people, either noticeabley or on a subconcious level. Entrance into any open bar on a Friday or Saturday night would reveal that the primary goal of those attending is to find a suitable mate. In biology, a suitable mate is another of the same species that provides an organism with the best chance of offspring survival. The people in these bars have their own ideas as to what constitutes a suitable mate, but that is a little off topic. I think slightly more subtly, advertisements for products use this universal goal to make money. Many ads for things portray a suitable mate as a person who uses their product. Subconciously, the people watching these ads believe that if they use the product, they will be able to reach their goal of procreating.
Even though I would attest that this is a goal shared by most of humanity, I am morally objected to proposing a a method that would help others attain this goal. I believe that sadly there are already ways to attain this goal that are not ethical. Many communities have problems policing people who try to illegally attain this goal. I believe that is because unlike other crimes, these crimes originate from within the self, rather than something that has been caused by society.
