Maslow’s hierarchy of needs is a motivational theory in psychology, comprising a five-tier model of human needs, often depicted as hierarchical levels within a pyramid. Needs lower down in the hierarchy must be satisfied before individuals can attend to needs higher up. Physiological, safety, love and belonging, esteem, and self-actualization in order from the bottom. Physiological needs are physical requirements for human survival like air, food, drink, shelter, clothing, warmth, sex, sleep. Safety needs those for security and safety. People want to experience order, predictability and control in their lives. The family and society can fulfil these needs. Love and belongingness needs are the next one which is social and involves feelings of belongingness. The need for interpersonal relationships motivates behaviour. Then there are Esteem needs which Maslow indicated that the need for respect or reputation is most important for children and adolescents and precedes real self-esteem or dignity. Self-actualization needs come next, and they are the highest level in Maslow’s hierarchy, they refer to the realization of a person’s potential, self-fulfilment, seeking personal growth and peak experiences.
