Maslow's hierarchy of needs

Hierarchy of human needs it is a theory in phychology made by abraham maslow - 1943 In Theory of Human Motivation. In his study he observed successesful people like albert einstein, Jane addams, Eleanor Roosevelt etc. He said that study of crippled and mentally ill people lead to a only crippled phychology and a crippled phychology. He said that people needs are divided into various categories starting from basic. Every individual tried to satisfy his basic needs and then onlu goes to the next level. He created a need hierarchy pyramid consisting of five levels the bottom four levels are grouped as "deficiency needs" and the top layer is the "growth needs". The deficiency needs need to be met where as this is not in case of growth need. These needs keep on changing a persons behaviour. A higher need can only be met only if the lower needs are met.
The classifications are
Self Actulisation : morality, creativity,spontaneity, problem solving, lack of prejudice, acceptance of facts.
Esteem : Self-esteem, confidence, achievment, respect of others, respect by others
Love/Belonging : Friendship, family, sexual intimacy
Safety : Security of body, of employment, of resources, of morality, of the family, of health of property
Physiological : breathing, food, water, sex, sleep homeostasis, excretion.
Negation of the theory
(One thing that I find alot is that esteem is above love and belonging. Does it mean that for all individual friendship, family and sexual intimacy is more than seld esteem, confidence and achievment. Then this need hierarchy does not hold true in the current scenario. Here people are so engrossed to make a mark in the society to be sucessful to gain respect by all that they forget about there family and friends . They dont get time for it. It s not just one or two in 10.It can be generalised for all. There might be just one or two in 10 whose nature satisfies this need hierarchy. For the corporate lot they dont need to worry about there physiological needs or safety needs. There main need is esteem and self actulisation this is even more important that love/belonging. )
D - needs (deficiency needs)
Physiological needs:
Homeostasis
need to breath need to drink water, need to regulate homeostasis, need to eat and need to dispose of bodily waste. If one of these needs are not fulfilled then this takes the highest priority and hence this becomes the main motive. Also sexual activity is also placed in this category.
Comments:
Accepted these needs are of atmost priority for any individual.These needs are required for surviving. In the prehistoric age wasnt food the only motive of life. There was nothing like materialiscitc pleasures. Secondly Sexual activity was also one of the basic need. remember adam and eve they were prohibited to savour the forbidden fruit. However they did. A flaw in the current scenario man has controlled his desire for sexual intercourse this need should be upgraded to the esteem need. Since for people it more than just need it is a status symbol it is a means to get an edge in social circle.
Safety Needs:
When physiological needs are met then the need for safety will emerge.

Happy women’s day


When I was born you tried to kill me
While I was growing up
I always knew I was your favorite
You always kept me close to you
When my brothers went to play in the field
I so wanted to go to school and study
Instead you taught me how to cook
J Happy women’s day
When I turned twelve
You started preparing for my wedding
Then one day when I was returning home
It was late as I remember
I saw some of my brothers friends
They followed me for a while
I was scared I asked you for help
But you didn’t reply
I ran as fast as I could
But I was not a match for there strength
J Happy women’s day
You cursed me and told me to die
I wanted to go out and work
Instead you got me married
When I didn’t got you enough dowry
You tried to burn me alive
J Happy women’s day
When I was pregnant I remember
You wanted to have a boy
However I wanted to have a girl
I also remember you beating me
When I gave birth to a beautiful girl
You tried to kill her when she was born
J Happy women’s day
Let’s stop being hypocrite
Accept it and stop wishing us
Every year on 8th of march
Where as it is you who always try to kill us
I hope now you will think twice
Before saying
"happy women’s day"

i beleive


You might not consider me at par with your intelligence
However there are certain things I believe in
I believe that
No matter how dark the night is
The sun will rise the other day
I believe that
If you think you are all alone
Go in the light and stand
You will find a shadow always besides you
I believe that
Even though you feel rock bottom
An ice-cream will always make you feel better
Only just for a moment
I believe that
There is no better cure for sadness
Then having a good laugh with your friends
I believe that
Life is too short to waste on some one or something
Always take a moment to look around
You just might realize how much you have been missing out
I believe that
All beginnings are good
No matter how small they may be
Something is better than nothing
I believe innocence should never be stolen
I believe trust should never be broken
I believe life should never end
I believe hope should never be lost
I believe I does not exists without we

I stand alone GODSMACK

I've told you this once before
Can't control me
If you try to take me down
You're gonna break
I feel your every "nothing" that you're doing for me
I'm thinking you ought to make your own way
I stand alone
Inside
I stand alone
You're always hiding behind your so-called goddess
So what
You don't think that we can see your face
Been resurrected back before the final falling
And I'll never rest until I can make my own way
(I'm not afraid of fading)
I stand alone
Feeling your sting down inside me
I'm not dying for it
I stand alone
Everything that I believe is fading
I stand alone
Inside
I stand alone
And now it's my time
(Now it's my time)
It's my time to dream
(It's my time to dream)
Dream of the skies
(Dream of the skies)
Make me believe that this place isn't plagued by the poison in me
Help me decide if my fire will burn out before you can breathe
Breathe into me
I stand alone
Inside
I stand alone
Feeling your sting down inside me
I'm not dying for it
I stand alone
Everything that I believe is fading
I stand alone
Inside
I stand alone
Inside
I stand alone
Inside
I stand alone
Inside
