Maslow's theory of motivation suggests we all share a compelling need to "move up" - to grow, improve ourselves, and ultimately become self-actualized. Review the hierarchy, starting at the bottom with physiological needs and move upward through psychological needs to self-actualization. For this assignment, address the following: Is Maslow's hierarchy universal? Do you see it applicable in other cultures? Describe a situation where belonging and love needs would be met before physiological and safety needs. Describe a situation where esteem needs would be met before belonging and love needs. Maslow believed that very few people reach self-actualization. Who will you consider a self-actualized individual?
