Identify and rank the five needs in Maslow's hierarchy of needs.

What will be an ideal response?


Abraham Maslow proposed a hierarchy of needs that must be satisfied in the following sequence: physiological needs, safety, love and belongingness, esteem, and self-actualization. The strongest needs are at the base of the hierarchy (physiological) and the weakest are at the top (self-actualization). According to this hierarchy, people are motivated to satisfy their need for food first and to satisfy their need for safety before their need for love. Maslow asserted that each lower need in the hierarchy comes from a deficiency, such as being hungry, afraid, or lonely, and that we see the higher-level needs in a person who is relatively sated in these basic needs. Such an individual can turn his or her attention to the fulfillment of a higher calling, achieving a sense of meaning by contributing something of lasting value to the world.
