What does Maslow say about our needs? Take a few minutes and google Maslow and write a sentence or two that you think summarizes his theory. (HINT: it is called the Hierarchy of Needs)

Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs This five stage model can be divided into basic steps One must satisfy lower level basic needs before progressing on to meet higher level growth needs. Once these needs have been reasonably satisfied, one may be able to reach the highest level called self-actualization.

Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs Every person is capable and has the desire to move up the hierarchy toward a level of self-actualization. Unfortunately, progress is often disrupted by failure to meet lower level needs. Life experiences, including divorce and loss of job may cause an individual to fluctuate between levels of the hierarchy. Maslow noted only one in a hundred people become fully self-actualized because our society rewards motivation primarily based on esteem, love and other social needs.
