Basic Human Needs

Basic Human Needs

In my work, I will discuss and have a look at different and similar between two theories from Maslow and Rosenberg.

When I looked at these theories I saw lot of similar point of view about what human need. First, they all mention all what human need such as food, water, sleep,... After list all basic needs of human have enough for, then both theorists mentioned about the safety and protection of human. Finally, is the mentioned things liked the love, self-esteem, autonomy,... all of that known as personal feeling of each human was mentioned in both theories.

There are also lot of different between them, not all theories are complete the same as the other. In the Manslow's theory he only mentioned a few need of human not as much as the Rosenberg's theory, but from that we can see the point of view in Manslow's theory that human not as greedy as in Rosenberg's theory. Manslow's theory goal is try to show the need to reach healthy mental and physical with full of protection in order. While Rosenberg list specific thing must be present to produce motivation, his theory's goal is for motication to be prevailing attitude among individuals.

The artical below relate to the expand of need

The expanded hierarchy of needs:

It is important to note that Maslow's (1943, 1954) five stage model has been expanded to include cognitive and aesthetic needs (Maslow, 1970a) and later transcendence needs (Maslow, 1970b).

Changes to the original five-stage model are highlighted and include a seven-stage model and a eight-stage model, both developed during the 1960's and 1970s.

1. Biological and Physiological needs - air, food, drink, shelter, warmth, sex, sleep, etc.

2. Safety needs - protection from elements, security, order, law, stability, etc.

3. Love and belongingness needs - friendship, intimacy, affection and love, - from work group, family, friends, romantic relationships.

4. Esteem needs - self-esteem, achievement, mastery, independence, status, dominance, prestige, managerial responsibility, etc.

5. Cognitive needs - knowledge, meaning, etc.

6. Aesthetic needs - appreciation and search for beauty, balance, form, etc.

7. Self-Actualization needs - realizing personal potential, self-fulfillment, seeking personal growth and peak experiences.

8. Transcendence needs - helping others to achieve self actualization.
