- when two motives conflict, the - most conflicts involve goals that are
satisfaction of one lead to the frustration simultaneously desirable and
of the other undesirable.
The Maslow’s hierarchy of needs are categorized into five: physiological needs, safety
needs, love and belongingness, esteem and self-actualization.
The different categories are arranged in a triangle with physiological needs at the lowest
portion and self-actualization as the highest portion. As the category goes highest,, the space
allocation from the triangle becomes smaller, meaning, as we go up to the different categories,
the less we need it most.
Physiological need being the lowest and biggest portion means that it is our basic needs
in life. In more practical words, we cannot live without these physiological needs such as water,
shelter, food etc.
Once we already secured our physiological needs, we therefore are now ready to attain
the safety needs. We need to secure ourselves from any harm and secure our physiological
needs from any harm for us to continue living.
If safety needs are secured, we are now ready to indulge ourselves with our people by
making friendships and relationships with one other. By doing these, we are having more access
to safety needs and physiological needs.
As a matter of fact, one we know that we have a great foundation of relationship with
others, we are now ready to boost ourselves by developing self esteem for us to be able to have
our self-actualization with our utmost potential.
With all these changes, we can now say that we can’t just easily jump from one
category to another without fulfilling first the lower most categories.
I am the kind of person who doesn’t get easily hurt by other people as long as they don’t
go overboard in a sense that they are insulting another person aside from me. I grew up being
bullied because of my dark complexion hence being labelled ugly just because of having a dark
skin. This hurt me a lot before as a kid but as I grew older, I tend to just close my ears to
whatever insulting remarks that others are telling me. My motto before was it is just okay for
me to get insulted as long as they don’t insult the person that I care about. But this motto
sometimes makes me into a hypocrite because I forgot to protect myself from other’s harsh
words but I still kept mum of these things. It doesn’t kill me anyway. What doesn’t kill me
makes me stronger, does it? I just need to choose what fight I will go into. Less trouble, less
hurt. You just need to know what’s best for yourself.
3. How do you control your temper?
I control my anger by thinking other things that can distract me. I sleep sometimes just
for me not to remember the things that made me mad. I even eat foods just to distract me but the
most effective way on how I control my temper is the 90/10 that my teacher during first year
college thought us. She said that you just need to be kind and understanding towards the
situation for about 90% and react on the situation for only about 10%. Upon hearing this before,
I tend to apply it always whenever I lose my temper. I also adapted the “All is well” by
Ranchodas Chamaldas Chanchad played by Aamir Khan in Three idiots by simply taping my
chest while chanting “All is well”.

Euthenics
Defense mechanism is our natural response towards stimuli that acted upon us.
Psychologically, some of the defense mechanisms examples are when someone insulted us, we
just laughed it off to show other people are that you are not hurt by other people’s remarks.
Another example is the denial. We are blocking our senses from reality. An example of this is
when someone died, we are denying of this reality to ourselves just for us not to get hurt. And
another example is the displacement. We tend to displace our feelings to other things such as
eating rather than tending to your anger and the likes.
