 What is Life?

To understand the Life we will follow

Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs.
 Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs
• Maslow (1943) stated that people are motivated to achieve certain
needs. When one need is fulfilled a person seeks to fulfil the next
one, and so on.

• The earliest and most widespread version of Maslow's (1943,

1954) hierarchy of needs includes five motivational needs, often
depicted as hierarchical levels within a pyramid.

• This five stage model can be divided into basic needs (e.g.
physiological, safety, love, and esteem) and growth needs (self-
actualization).
 Hierarchy of needs
five-stage model includes
• 1. Biological and Physiological needs - air, food, drink, shelter,
warmth, sex, sleep.

• 2. Safety needs - protection from elements, security, order, law,

stability, freedom from fear.

• 3. Love and belongingness needs - friendship, intimacy,

affection and love, - from work group, family, friends, romantic
relationships.

• 4. Esteem needs - achievement, mastery, independence, status,

dominance, prestige, self-respect, respect from others.

• 5. Self-Actualization needs - realizing personal potential, self-

fulfilment, seeking personal growth and peak experiences.
