Maslow's Hierarchy part 2

Question:

Key Points:

• Recap of last week. See Maslow's Hierarchy part 1 for more details. The same pictures are below
• The third layer of needs is Love and Belonging: friendship, family, and intimacy
• We in America have a tendency to spend a lot of time with our family, but we do not spend enough time with friends
• We have a need to feel like we fit in and being around people that make us feel like we fit in with them is how we get social belonging
• The fourth layer of needs is Esteem: recognition, status, importance, and respect from others
• When we give something away to others, it makes us happy, likely because it improves our self-esteem and sometimes our esteem by others also
• What we, as Americans most need to work on are Love and Belonging and Esteem
• The fifth layer of needs is Self-Actualization: "What a man can be, he must be"
• Self-Actualization means fulfilling one's destiny and "being all that you can be"
