Why is there a pyramid?

Comments

The triangle represents Maslow's hierarchy needs. It is catergorised into different levels of needs. We must accomplish the first level before we can reach the next level.

The triangle represents the needs of life.Starting with the basic needs and then progressing to the most challenging.

Maslow's hierarchy is most often displayed as a pyramid. The lowest levels of the pyramid are made up of the most basic needs, while the most complex needs are at the top of the pyramid.

Needs at the bottom of the pyramid are basic physical requirements including the need for food, water, sleep, and warmth. Once these lower-level needs have been met, people can move on to the next level of needs, which are for safety and security.

As people progress up the pyramid, needs become increasingly psychological and social. Soon, the need for love, friendship, and intimacy become important. Further up the pyramid, the need for personal esteem and feelings of accomplishment take priority

It is shown in a pyramid because the basic needs are the bottom with the most needed strength, once those are met it can gain the next level and so on.

I download the Maslows Hierarchy but then it asks me to register AGAIN to see it when I click on it. I cannot view the download.

  • If you are trying to download Maslows Hierarchy you need to be logged in to download the .zip file. You then need to extract the .zp file to click on the .html file inside. You should not be asked to register again. Sometimes Google will place ads that will include a download button near the actual blue download button.

The pyramid shows that physiological "survival" needs outweigh all other needs. The higher the development of the individual the higher one is in self-actualization

Maslow's Hierarchy

Posted by Kenneth McGinty on 9/8/2024 9:29:16 PM Reply

Maslow's Hierarchy explains needs that motivate people. His theory is that people have certain basic needs that must be met before they can move up the hierarchy to pursue social, emotional or self-actualizing needs.
