Health class question I'm confused?

Question

It says...

On Maslow's hierarchy how would you rank the need to satisfy thirst?

What the heck does Masclow's Hierarchy mean?

Thanks to the 1st person who correctly answers.

Oh yeah im not done,

what does "aethetic needs" mean?

and what does "self-actualization" mean?

and what would you consider "self-fufilling needs"

and what is hierarchy of needs?

I just need to know what all this means so I can answer these questions and get this sheet over with.

Once again thanks for taking the time.

Answer 1

'Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs' is a hypothetical pyramid invented by (you guessed it) Maslow (there's a picture in the link).

He thought that there were certain basic needs that you had to have fulfilled before you could start to work on more advanced needs. So, for example, if you had to spend all your time looking for food, you wouldn't have any left to develop your own self-esteem. There are lots of different needs he put on the pyramid.

And while it's an interesting idea, I don't think anyone seriously believes in it these days. To continue our example, if someone becomes really good at getting food, THAT might improve his self-esteem. And there are plenty of people who voluntarily fast (go without food) to work on other things that Maslow would say were higher needs.

But for the sake of filling our your worksheet... aesthetic needs are those having to do with art and beauty. Self-actualization is difficult to describe, but it's 'being yourself' - or learning who you are as an individual. Self-fulfilling needs in this context would be things completely off the chart... anything you don't need to worry about at all (like, you need to digest food after you eat it). Thirst is a need on the first tier which is labelled 'physiological'.

Hope that helps!

Answer 2

it's the basic needs is thirst, the bottom of Maslow's hierarchy or pyramid of needs. aesthetic needs are appreciation for beauty and balance. self actualization is like self fufillment and realizing your full potential. self fufilling needs are things you can do yourself. the hierarchy of needs is a pyramid with basic needs at the bottom and self actualization at the top.

Answer 3

well, hierarchy of needs is a way of ranking our needs, as to what is most important to us,,and the theory is that people start with satisfying their basic needs, then move on to other ones,,, such as your basic needs would be water, shelter, food,,,,,,, thirst would be a major need,,,, as to the actual definitions, do you have a book that goes along with this class? if so, the terms and ranking should be in there,,,,, sorry i dont remember all of it,,,,
but survival needs, like i listed before, would come before the need for self development,,

Answer 4

In females, the few days close ovulation represent the fertile segment. Usually 3 days earlier than and 3 days after ovulation are the fertile days. The normal time of ovulation is the fourteenth day of an normal period (twenty-8 day) menstrual cycle. It is average and traditional for the day of ovulation to differ from the normal, nonetheless. The period of the cycle period isn't a dependable indicator of the day of ovulation. The put up-ovulatory segment of the cycle would possibly differ via as much as every week among females. So now we now have a 3 day window of fertility after ovulation and every week's variance after ovulation and Whoa! You CAN get pregnant as much as 4 days earlier than your per 30 days. Scary. That can occur in as much as 30% of females. Science is going via the norm or what's traditional within the majority of the feminine populace, however each and every lady is one-of-a-kind. That is why it's well to do basal temperature plotting of the cycle. The feminine runs a low-grade fever in general an afternoon earlier than via an afternoon after ovulation. Hope this is helping.

Answer 5

The below website will help you understand! It's a little long to type out the theory behind Maslow's, however, it is part of the nursing model & is important to understanding human needs. :-)
There's also a pyramid shown (if you are a visual learner)

Maslow's Hierachy Of Needs
i think maslow''s hierachy of needs is very fitting to our current conditions. in a nut shell maslow theorized that we must first meet our basic needs before we can move on to other needs such as love for our fellow man and philisophical questions such as the fairness of our society.

the bush people are creating 2 distinct groups of people. those who are living day to day and can only think of meeting their basic needs such as putting a meal on the table for their families and paying the rent. the other group are the wealthy who are totally preoccupied with preserving their wealth. the wealthy do not question the policies of bush, they want to preserve their wealth and bush is doing a fine job in that regard.

the group in the middle who have met their basic needs but are not wealthy are an endangered species. this plays well with the goals of the bush people. bush is not an idiot or moron, he is the front man for a group of very cunning, dangerous, greedy and ruthless business men. the pendulum has swung so far right it may never come back.

i have pasted a synopsis of maslow''s hierachy of needs below if you are interested. it''s like being back in 1st year psych.



Maslow''s Heirarchy of Needs

Abraham Maslow was a brilliant psychologist who developed a framework of human potential. He categorised various levels of need which drive a human being. When a lower and more pressing need has been satisfied the human feels their motivation shift to a new need at a higher level until the ultimate state of self-actualisation is reached.
Maslow''s idea is applicable not only to individual people but to social groups too. Small organisations and groups of friends or teammates, couples, companies, schools and whole societies move up the heirarchy. This section outlines the theory and the need levels and discusses some of the implications.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Survival Needs
The raw basics of survival. Without these nothing else matters. Food, water shelter. The caveman needs.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Security Needs
Safety from danger, safety in numbers. This covers everything from having a big club with you in your cave, to having a parent look out for you, to having a system of law and order in society.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Belonging Needs
Affiliation as part of a group with which you identify. A family, a social group, some likeminded peers. The need not to be an outcast.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Love Needs
This is part of the need to belong and doesn''t necessarily mean love in the romantic sense. Love for ones family and friends applies too. It is the need to have people to care deeply for and to feel cared for in return. Freud dealt with the survival, security and belonging needs as manifested in the human psyche.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Self-Esteem Needs
The need to achieve a level of competence or status that one feels is useful and deserving of respect in society. Adler''s psychology of power and inferiority complexes deals with the specific nature and manifestations of this need.
The next few needs are higher still and are often parallel to each other in a person or society. Which is dominant seems more determined by indiviual aptitude and skill.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Self-Expression Needs
The need to control and create within ones environment. Freedom to express individuality that will not collide with the needs for belonging and esteem. An artists may feel this particularly.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Intellectual Needs
A higher need. The need for people to pursue intellectual avenues and probe the reaches of human understanding. A gifted person will feel this very strongly and may actually experience mental illness if this need isn''t satisfied.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Spritual Needs
Conecting with a greater power or God or the development of a consistent and nourishing philosophy is a psychological need. One needs a reason to live.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Self-Actualisation
This is the highest attainment according to Maslow and is the state where a person is achieving all they want and is able to fulfil their true potential unhindered by society or circumstance.

It must have explained that in your book somewhere.
