Maslow's theory

Maslow's theory

Maslow came up with a hierarchy of needs, he made the system into a Pyramid.

Maslow put all the things that we need to survive into Physiological needs; food, water without these basic needs we wouldn't be able to survive and couldn't proceed onto the next layers on the pyramid.

Safety needs is the second layer of the pyramid, we need a safe body and a safe home to make us feel safe in our environment and to make us happy.

The third layer of the pyramid is Belonging. People want to be needed and loved and to know that there is someone who needs you, this helps to make someone happy and is able to have interaction with someone who want to know they need you.

Esteem needs is the fourth layer of the pyramid. Esteem needs helps with our confidence if we have confidence it helps us to achieve the next layer of the pyramid. Belonging and Esteem needs come under psychological needs because without these important we aren't able to reach the final part of the pyramid.

The final layer of the pyramid is self actualisation, this helps us with creativity and helps us reach our potential. Without basic needs and psychological needs which makes a strong base, without the base we aren't able to reach self actualisation.

I used Maslow's Pyramid to make my front cover and to help relate the pyramid to the cover.
