Why is there a pyramid?

Posted by Nichola Lawrence on 1/12/2017 1:29:11 PM ReplyMaslow'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
Posted by dlsteven on 9/19/2017 11:25:20 AM ReplyIt 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.

There is a pyramid because for one they build on one another, you cant have the the next up if you do not have the base. Also, they are in level of importance. Needs are closer to the bottom while wants become more difficult to fulfill the higher up the pyramid you go.

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
I was able to download the pyramid and answer the
6 questions. However, I don't see what our actual assignment for a grade is supposed to be.
