1. MASLOW’S HIERARCHY OF
NEEDS

2. ABOUT MASLOW
• The idea of hierarchy of needs came about in 1943
in a paper called “A Theory of Human Motivation.”
• People are motivated to fulfill the basic need
before they move on to the other needs.
• An example is if you need food you will do anything
to get food before you think about being in a
secure environment.

3. PHYSIOLOGICAL NEEDS
• These are also know as the primary needs.
• Things that you MUST have live.
• Food, water, air, and sleep are some of the needs
you have to have to live.
• Maslow believed these are the basic and instinctive
needs.

4. SECURITY NEEDS
• The needs for this category are the needs
for humans to be safe and secure.
• They are important but not has important as the
physiological needs.
• Examples are putting a roof over you head or
knowing that you have a steady job.

5. SOCIAL NEEDS
• You could probably guess what these are.
• Being loved, belonging, and affection.
• Having friends and a family will help you fill this
desired need.
• This can also be opening up to work with one
another.

6. ESTEEM NEEDS
• When you reach Esteem, it becomes very important
to your life.
• This involves self-esteem, personal
worth, accomplishment, and social recognition.
• A lot of people view personal worth as what people
say to them instead of looking at themselves.

7. SELF-ACTUALIZING NEEDS
• This is the highest level and the last one that you
reach.
• The needs are personal growth, do not care what
others think, and accomplishment.
• This is where you max out your potential.
• The better you are the
better the society becomes.
