Editor's Notes

  • #10 Example: You want the freedom to make your own decisions about when you come home, who you hang out with, what you do. What is the responsibility associated with those freedoms? You have a responsibility not to get in trouble with you freedom. You have a responsibility not to abuse it.
  • #12 Maslow wanted to understand what motivates people. He believed that people possess a set of motivation systems unrelated to rewards or unconscious desires. People are motivated to achieve certain needs. When one need is fulfilled, a person seeks to fulfill to next one, and so on.
  • #14 People with lack of shelter, clothing and food focus on this level. The need to fulfill such needs will become stronger the longer they are denied. For example: The longer a person goes without food, the more hungry they will become. People often neglect some of the basic needs in normal life when they eat junk food, go without sleep , don’t exercise.
  • #15 Strongest in children. One must satisfy lower level basic needs before progressing on to meet higher level growth needs.
  • #16 Love and belonging needs to be met in work groups, family, friends and romantic relationships. Humans need to love and be loved by others. Deficiencies within this level can impact the individual’s ability to form and maintain emotionally significant relationships. If unfulfilled, may rush to fulfill this need resulting in less than ideal partner.
  • #17 People act form their ego needs. They value the opinions of others, in order to believe in themselves. Life experiences (road blocks) can cause a person to fluctuate between levels of the hierarchy.
  • #18 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. Examples: Best at athletics, painting, inventions, etc..
