Questions
1. If you are simultaneously hungry for food but also desire love, which need will be more important?
2. If you simultaneously have a club meeting and rebels are raiding your neighborhood, which need will be more important?
Levels
• Levels 1 – 4 are deficiency needs
• Self Actualization is a being need
• This means Self Actualization only becomes important once all other needs are met or almost met
WHY?
1. Why will this model will be useful in our studies of world cultures?
2. Why is this theory useful in helping us understand ourselves and our community?
3. Finally, what does Maslow’s theory teach us about humanity and how we may choose to live our own lives?
Criticism
• “Here’s the problem with Maslow’s hierarchy,” explains Rutledge. “None of these needs — starting with basic survival on up — are possible without social connection and collaboration…. Without collaboration, there is no survival. It was not possible to defeat a Woolley Mammoth, build a secure structure, or care for children while hunting without a team effort. It’s more true now than then. Our reliance on each other grows as societies became more complex, interconnected, and specialized. Connection is a prerequisite for survival, physically and emotionally.”
Choice Task (choose 1)• Create a new metaphor (not a pyramid) to visually
represent Maslow’s hierarchy.– Include descriptions and examples
• Write a 2-page letter to Maslow that either supports or refutes his theory with examples.
• Create an annotated album guide with 2-3 songs for each level on the hierarchy and descriptions of why those songs perfectly complement the level, with examples and connections.
Grading
• A: Project clearly articulates both “what” and evaluates “why important” information in a creative and expertly finished way. Each part is explained thoroughly and connected
• C: Project shows “what” and begins to grapple with “why important” in a finished way
