  6. MEETING NEEDS • PHYSIOLOGICAL (we need to maintain homeostasis and protect the stability of our milieu interiour, we must tolerate, compensate for, or overcome environmental change, dysfunctions and diseases of cells, tissues and organs) • SAFETY (we need to meet challenges to the integrity and stability of the whole organism)

  7. MEETING NEEDS • SOCIAL (we need to be in the company of others for enhanced protection from physical or predatory threats, to locate or produce food, for resource defense, to facilitate the efficiency of division of labor, for a richer learning environment, and for reproduction) • SOCIAL ESTEEM (we need to have our superiority in life‑enhancing attributes the group values recognized, partly because our social group is likely to protect us or our access to needed resources)
