Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs is a structural progression of psychological and physical needs. Maslow hypothesized that there were two distinct types of needs: deficiency needs and growth needs2. The deficiency needs, physiological, safety, love, and esteem, are four distinct needs that must be met in progression. The growth needs range from understanding others to helping and loving others2. Maslow claimed that without being able to meet all four deficiency needs, one would not be able to progress into the growth needs1.…
Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs describes what a theoretical person would need in their life. Abraham Maslow supposes, “the fundamental desires of human beings are similar despite the multitude of conscious desires” (Zalenski 1121). This theory crosses all boundaries such as race, religion, ethnic, and geography. Maslow also believes the needs of human beings are hierarchical; lesser needs must be achieved before the greater needs can be explored (Zalenski 1121).…
Abraham Maslow contributed to psychology with the “hierarchy of needs.” According to Bergen, Noltemeyer, and Patton (2012), the “hierarchy of needs” theory was originally based on five basic needs that are crucial to living the best life. A step ladder (hierarchy) places the needs from lowest to highest order. Physiological, safety, and love/belonging needs are on the lower level of the hierarchy whereas, esteem and self-actualization are on a higher level of needs (Bergen, Noltemeyer, & Patton,…
Abraham Maslow (1908-1970) was a humanistic psychologist who (1954) developed a hierarchy of complex human needs (1954) that an individual must satisfy in a process called self-fulfilment- satisfaction of all needs results in self-actualisation. The hierarchy was divided into seven tiers and when each set of needs were satisfied, the individual would move up another level to fulfil more needs. Physiological needs like food and water are essential for survival. If those most basic needs are being neglected, the individual will instinctively focus everything on meeting those needs first. Once satisfied, safety needs like warmth and shelter also become important. After the safety needs have been met, social needs including love and a sense of belonging become important. When those have been satisfied, esteem needs must be satisfied. Cognitive needs must be satisfied before aesthetic needs including beauty and symmetry can be satisfied. Only when all of the needs in the hierarchy have been satisfied, can an individual finally realise and reach their full potential through the process of self-actualisation (Hayes, 2000) (cross-referenced from Unit 7, task 1).…

Vincent Van Gogh influenced art in the 20th century and new styles of art. Van Gogh’s artwork was so different and creative that it was able to influence many other artists.…

<br>In 1954 an American psychologist Abraham Maslow proposed that all people are motivated to fulfill a hierarchical pyramid of needs. At the bottom of Maslow's pyramid are needs essential to survival, such as the needs for food, water, and sleep. The need for safety follows these physiological needs. According to Maslow, higher-level needs become important to us only after our more basic needs are satisfied. These higher needs include the need for love and 'belongingness', the need for esteem, and the need for self-actualization (In Maslow's theory, a state in which people realize their greatest potential) (All information by means of Encarta Online Encyclopedia).…

Abraham Maslow shows us how he sees the makeup of individual personality. Each need and stage is based on priority. Maslow 's theory shows us the influences of the human needs to personality. Physiological needs; health, food, water, shelter, clothing, sleep, and sex. Coping information is needed to meet these needs. Safety and security, helping information, need to feel safe from physical danger. The ability to have a sense of security, knowing what to expect, is a good example of coping. After these needs are met an individual can experience life in a better quality so one can expand their personality. If living in fear and not meeting the needs of safety or security you are trapped and little room to grow with your personality expand your experiences. As well belonging, need for love, affection, being a part of something, is crucial towards the enlightening information needed to fulfill the need to belong. The need to be accepted by others, gives one a feeling of security in relationships. This comes in all forms such as…
The dozens of self-portraits by Vincent van Gogh were an important part of his oeuvre as a painter. Vincent van Gogh (1853–1890) created many self-portraits during his lifetime. Most probably, Van Gogh 's self portraits are depicting the face as it appeared in the mirror he used to reproduce his face, i.e. his right side in the image is in reality the left side of his face.…

Maslow divided organismic needs into two categories. Maslow identified several categories of deficiency needs, which stands for survival. The physiological needs are the basic biological necessities such as food, water, sex and shelter. The safety needs, which is the necessity of a predictable world, one that makes sense. Belongings and loves involve intimate relation with other people. Esteem is the need which involves respect for oneself and for others. All of the d-needs motivates people through deficits, which we need something to fill our void or…
This Hierarchy of Needs consists of a pyramid that displays the certain levels of needs that humans strive to achieve with basic needs such as food being at the bottom (Meyers, 2011). According to Maslow, once physiological needs are met, one can move up to the next level until that need is met and then the next level, etc. One level on Maslow’s Hierarchy is, “Belongingness and love needs”, which exhibits the need for people to be loved by someone. According to Maslow once this is achieved, one can finally move to the need for esteem and respect from others and then finally to “Self Actualization” or finding the inner potential in oneself (Meyers,…
