Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs Yanilexy Rodriguez Physical Needs These include the most basic needs that are vital to survival, such as the need for water, air, food and sleep. Maslow believed that these needs are the most basic and instinctive needs in the hierarchy because all needs become secondary until these physiological needs are met. Safety Needs These include needs for safety and security. Security needs are important for survival, but they are not as demanding as the physiological needs. Examples of security needs include a desire for steady employment, health insurance, safe neighborhoods and shelter. Belonging Needs These include needs for belonging, love and affection. Maslow considered these needs to be less basic than physiological and security needs. Relationships such as friendships, romantic attachments and families help fulfill this need for companionship and acceptance, we communicate to meet belonging needs by talking with others, listening and responding to what they say. Esteem Needs These include the need for things that reflect on self-esteem, which involve valuing and respecting ourselves, personal worth, social recognition and accomplishment. Self-actualization Needs people are self-aware, concerned with personal growth, less concerned with the opinions of others and interested fulfilling their potential. Belonging needs currently apply to me in a big way, I love been with my family and enjoying everything we do together, I do also love watching movies with my husband. I feel that when I don’t have them with me, something is missing. Self-Esteem needs, I will say that I have a great self esteem, I respect and love myself, I love talking to people and making new friends. I’m a very good listener and love giving people advices.
