Examples Of Maslow's Hierarchy Of Needs

In Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs it states that all humans have some very basic needs that are required for any human to be able to survive, and some that are less important, but are still necessary for survival or just the humans pleasure. The very bottom need of Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs triangle is the physiological need. This includes things like sleep, water, air, reproduction so that the species does not go extinct, food, and other things like this. The second layer is the need to have safety. This layer of needs consists of things like physical safety, having a home, being able to have safe and secure surroundings, law and order, having a job that pays or provides for you, and health. The third layer in this is love and belonging.
I have some examples of how I have used most of these levels in my daily life, and if not daily, fairly often. Personally I have lots of examples of how I show and am in the physiological needs grouping. For example, every day I am breathing the air that the earth makes for us, I also eat food that lets me survive, I also drink water that makes my body run so that I do not dehydrate and die, I also live and sleep in a house every night that keeps me warm and dry. Those are some of the basic needs that I fulfill for the physiological need category in Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs. In the safety group I am able to say that I fit into this well, because my family has all of the things that depict what makes up this category. For the third group, social needs, I am more in and out for this one than I am for the other two above. The reason behind this is that I occasionally am finding myself mad or having others mad at me to the point of me not being sure if I fulfill this category or not. For the last category that I find myself in is esteem needs, I often have the sense of self accomplishment in things I do, because I feel like I have done well or accomplished something of great importance in this area. For example I would feel a great sense of self accomplishment if I have the ability to complete my Eagle for the Boy Scouts of America before I turn eighteen, because this is a very long and hard task to accomplish and a very little percentage of people who actually start scouts receive this accomplishment. Lastly for self actualization, I do not feel like I have gotten to this yet, mostly because I would like to believe that I have not peaked, and have not reached my full potential yet as a human
