Maslow's+Hierarchy+of+Needs

Abraham Maslow was a psychologist who had a theory that all people have a leveling of needs. When one need is reached, a person is then able to focus on acquiring more difficult needs. In the hierarchy, there are five different levels of needs that all human beings strive for to feel complete. It's important to note that there is no skipping around with the levels. People MUST go in the order of the hierarchy and if they are confronted with a tragedy or shock to their environment, they will likely fall backwards on this scale in that same order. There is much that we do not understand about the way humans think and behave, yet, this theory has proven as quite a reliable reference in helping us understand each other.
