Application of Maslow's Theory of Needs to Mobilize a Community

Abraham Maslow was an American philosopher who was born in the early 1990 's in Brooklyn, New York. He was one of the leading theorists that promoted humanistic psychology during his era. Maslow sought to understand what motivates and inspires individuals. He theorized that individuals possess and hold a group of motivation and incentive systems not related to plunder or insensible desires. Maslow declared that people are motivated and provoked to attain certain needs. When one need is fulfilled a person seeks to fulfill the next one, and so on. The earliest version of Maslow 's hierarchy of needs includes five motivational needs, often viewed as hierarchical levels inside a pyramid. The five stage representation can be separated into basic needs and growth needs. The deficiency or basic needs are said to motivate and stimulate individuals when they are unmet and not fully attained. Also, the desire to fulfill and accomplish such wants and needs will become stronger the longer the duration they are denied. Once these needs have been relatively satisfied, an individual may be capable of reaching the highest level of the pyramid called self-actualization. Maslow though that self actualization is a state that exists when an individual is acting in harmony with his or her full capabilities. In Cormac McCarthy 's novel, The Road, we will examine the character 's physical journey towards self-actualization on Maslow

Maslow’s hierarchy of needs is used to analyze motivation of consumers, which are composed of 5 five stages. From the lowest level to the highest one respectively are physiological, safety, belongingness, ego needs, and self-actualization. (Solomon and Barmossy et al., 2006)

For this paper, I chose one of my colleague Devin who works with me at our office. I chose him because he is a psychology major and I find him interesting in terms of his curiosity in the field of psychology. In terms of his education, he is currently in his senior year of school and is majoring in psychology with honors. When asked about a particular focus in the field of psychology, he said that he does not have a specific track, but enjoys learning about positive and community psychology. While interviewing Devin, I also learned these terms specifically about positive and community psychology and how he uses the same knowledge into his daily work. I learned that the term positive psychology refers to the strengths that allow communities and individual to thrive (Michael & Neuman, 2010). On the other hand, the term community psychology refers to how individuals relate to their community, and the reciprocal of how communities relate to the individuals (Anonymous, 2015).

There are many management styles when it comes to an effective work environment. In correctional officers jobs they do their work by day to day events, where crisis is encountered every day, and leadership is essential to keep an operative system running. The basis for all management is leadership where correctional officers should have authority, talent, experience, ethics, and training. One that really stands out is Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs for prison guards. Prison guards need to feel important as they are caring for and essentially keeping appalling criminals safety. They need to know what they are doing is important for society and also be emotionally stable to handle the high levels of stress they will encounter. All levels of the pyramid need to be met for prison guards to justly do their jobs while also staying mentally fit for their work.

Project management provides a strong foundation for developing the attributes needed to pursue high-level leadership roles, analytical positions, and many other areas within the business environment.

Throughout my career, I increased my capabilities through a series of challenging projects. Whether designing and constructing an orphanage in Africa or planning a research facility on the Arctic glacier of Greenland, I have learned there is no individuality in project management and everyone involved must function as a team.

All fields of business, including the project management field holds a duty to making a conscious effort to provide back to the community. This can sometimes be overlooked in the speed and ramifications of everyday business work, yet there are still people that find ways to connect professional organizations, colleges, and business leaders together to reach out to the project management community and others to provide opportunities that all parties involved can learn and grow from.

The Thrive approach was created by a body of specialists including OFSTED who have worked within education since 1994. Thrives approach is to identify children at an early stage in their emotional development. Addressing the emotional development of an individual at an early stage can build upon the individuals or child’s resilience, which in turn can help reduce the risk of mental illness.

Another flash surrounded the car and Penelope’s hands started shaking, everything came back to her. William hopped back in the car and stared at her, “Penelope?”still shaking she flung herself against him “They wiped my memories, I told them I wouldn’t marry Cori. They threatened my family, I tried to leave and they wiped my memory. I think this is their final threat, if I leave I loose everything. None of you stay, they won’t give me new memories, they will erase months and I wake up in the middle of the woods.” He rubbed her back and neck softly “It’s okay. It’s okay.” Suddenly, Cleo’s voice broke into her mind in a gloating manner Still want to leave? Penelope looked up at Liam “When they wipe me, make sure I get home. Don’t leave me.” She

Throughout human history people have sought to better themselves and ascend to higher levels beyond what others thought possible. As many might say, life is more than just surviving, it is about doing the things one dreams of, learning new things, mastering new skills, and being with the people that one enjoys being with. On the contrary, not all people get to do any of those things. It seems that the ultimate goal is self-actualization and life fulfillment, yet why do people never seem to reach that point?

According to the New York Times Magazine article conjugal visits a privilege, not the right because of the several reasons. The ability to have sex with a spouse is not a fundamental human right for someone who is in the prison. It is a reasonable freedom for a prisoner to lose (Klosterman, 2014). The conjugal visits apply to everyone, whatever their sexual orientation because it represents gender equality and we live in the state where first make gay marriage legal. Here, I would like to cite the Maslow’s Hierarchy of needs triangle to make my point clear.

Children are unique, with their own personality, mannerisms, characteristics and needs. All children have different abilities and they all require different things to support them in reaching their potential. The Development Matters Framework (Early Education, 2012) states that teachers must reflect on children’s needs, build positive relationships with them and create stimulating environments to facilitate the discovery of new skills and knowledge.

When observing the field of psychology, among the vast expanse of subfields, the one that caught my eye the most was Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs. By labeling the five most essential parts of a human’s life, they are defined and put in order from things most needed to things that come after those basic needs are met.

I believe this video is included in our patient care class to show us that there are many different kinds of disabilities a patient can suffer, all the while keeping a positive attitude. Something that stuck out the most in each person’s story was their want of independence. They want to live a normal life and be treated like any normal person. Being able to accomplish simple goals without the help of others is apart of Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs. I think that this is hard for some health care workers to understand. At the end of the day the job is to help people who can’t help themselves. The reality is that even though most disabled people cannot do certain things on their own, they still want to try. It will be our job to make sure that
