Maslow's Hierarchy of Need
Maslow's Hierarchy of Need
Hierarchy
Maslows hierarchy of need is often portrayed in the shape of pyramid with the largest most fundamental lave of need at the bottom and the need for self actualization at the top. The pyramid has become the de-facto way to represent the hierarchy, Maslows himself never use a pyramid to describe these levels many of his writing on the subject.
Psychological needs
Psychological needs are the physical requirements for the human survival. If these requirement are not met the human body cannot function properly and will ultimately fail. Such as: food, clothes, etc.
Safety needs
With their physical need relative satisfied the individual safety take precedence and dominate behavior. Safety and security needs Include1. personal security 2. Financial security 3. Health and well being.
Esteem needs
All humans have a need to feel respected, this includes the need to have self-esteem and self respect. Esteem present the typical human desire to be accepted and valued by others. People often engage in a profession or hobby to gain recognition.
Self actualization
What a man can be he must be. This quotation forms the basis of the perceived need for self actualization. This level of need refers to what a persons full potential is and the realization of that potential. Maslow describe this level as the desire to accomplish everything that one can, to become the most one can be.
