  1. Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs • Attach the model of Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs to the top of page 6 in your Dystopia Unit. Leave space for notes on the bottom of the page.

  2. Who was Maslow? • Abraham Maslow was an American psychologist (studied human behavior) • He believed that there was order to the motivation of people and that all people want to grow. • All basic needs must be met for a person to transcend to the higher levels of the pyramid and reach self-actualization, or in other words, to become all that they can be. • Source: http://www.simplypsychology.org/maslow.html

  3. Look at the pyramid on your paper • Label the bottom layer level one • Physiological- how living things function & survive (physical) • The most basic needs for survival

  4. Safety • Label safety level two • People must have everything they need to survive, then they must feel safe & secure

  5. Belonging & Love • Label belonging & love level 3 • After a person has achieved the necessities to survive, and feels safe in their environment, they will seek to feel accepted

  6. Self-esteem • Label self-esteem level four • The last of the basic needs, esteem means that the person not only is loved and accepted, but also respected for their achievements & success

  7. Self-Actualization • Label self-actualization level 5 • Self-actualization means that a person has all basic needs met, and now pursues intellectual and creative pursuits that satisfy their need for growth. Here a person seeks to fulfill their personal potential.

  8. Practice applying the needs to real life scenarios
