Maslow's Hierarchy
Captions available
The idea
Maslow proposed a hierarchy of innate needs: deficiency needs, physiological, safety, belonging and love, and esteem, which must be met first, and growth needs culminating in self-actualization.
In practice
A student who arrives hungry or afraid struggles to focus on fractions.
Where people slip
Self-actualization, in Maslow's account, is brief and not reached by everyone.
