What is the least pressing need of maslow hirarchy of needs?

Answer 1

Maslows's hierarchy of needs is a theory of Psychology that can be described as follows: The needs of people are hierarchical, starting with food, shelter, safety, until reaching self actualization. In order to achieve a next level, the one below it must be met. For example, students must have the basic needs met before they can settle down to learn.

The theory describes different levels of human needs (usually represented in the form of a pyramid steps). There are 5 levels of needs:

1. Physiological needs - these are our most basic needs; they include both needs essential for survival (e.g. breathing, food, water, etc.), and needs that are basic, but not required for survival (e.g. sex). Our motivation to meet these needs is driven by homeostasis.
2. Safety needs - the things we require to give us a sense of security; your property, your health, and your family all provide you with your safety needs.
3. Love/Belonging needs - your need to feel like you belong, or are loved; this can be shown through familial ties, friendships, or sexual intimacy.
4. Esteem needs - the things that contribute to your ego (i.e. confidence, self-esteem, etc.).
5. Self-actualization - the highest level of the hierarchy; a kind of enlightenment that is attained when you reach your full potential, and your ability to recognize your full potential.

It explain the different needs of the human beings starting from physiological need to safety needs and so on.
