Hierarchy of Needs
Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs serves as a foundational roadmap for understanding human motivation by organizing our requirements into a five-tier pyramid. The theory suggests that we are driven to satisfy basic physiological and safety needs—such as food, shelter, and security—before we can effectively pursue higher-level psychological goals like belonging, esteem, and self-actualization. By distinguishing between "deficiency needs," which arise from deprivation, and "growth needs," which stem from a desire for personal development, Maslow’s model provides a timeless framework for analyzing how individuals prioritize their well-being and strive to reach their full potential.
