Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory was discovered by Maslow in 1943. Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory divides demand into five levels. So what theory does Maslow's hierarchy of needs tell people?
Schematic diagram of Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory
Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory divides the total demand into five levels, namely, physiological needs, security needs, love and belonging needs, respect needs and self-realization needs. These five requirements are divided according to the hierarchy from low to high. When a demand is met, people will continue to pursue a higher level of demand. The first kind of demand: physiological demand refers to the substances that people need to achieve life-sustaining energy. The second demand: security demand, security demand refers to people's sense of security through various sensory feelings. The third demand: love and belonging. The need for love and belonging refers to the care and care people feel through their own experiences and beliefs.
The fourth demand: respect demand means that people want to be recognized and respected by others. The fifth demand: self-realization demand means that people's ability has been fully exerted and their own value has been realized. Self-realization demand is also the highest level in Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory. Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory has been put forward and applied in many fields, such as economy and consumption. Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory enables people to combine hierarchy of needs with reality and promotes the development of various fields.
Maslow's Five Needs
Maslow's five needs mean that Maslow divides human needs into five needs, namely physiological needs, security needs, love and belonging needs, respect needs and self-realization needs.
Physiological needs mainly include breathing, food and water necessary for daily life, as well as the sleep time that human beings need every day. These physiological needs are necessary for the human body and indispensable for its normal operation. This is the most basic need of the human body. Only when these needs are met can people start new development.

Security needs include the protection of people's own safety and health, and even the protection of resources, property and morality. These are classified as security requirements. After meeting this demand, the living standard of human beings has been greatly improved, so this demand is no longer an incentive factor.
Emotional and belonging needs are mainly reflected in people's instinctive need to have an emotional life, which can not only bring considerate care to each other, but also satisfy people's love. Respect for needs is reflected in respect for yourself, respect for others and their achievements, as well as their mentality and confidence on the road to success. After reaching this level of demand, people's spiritual realm will be further improved and their own value will be realized.
Self-realization demand is the highest level of human demand, which mainly means that individual talents and lofty ideals can be realized here through early preparation. All aspects of the ability will be improved, so as to become the person you yearn for. Only in this way can you feel the inner joy. Maslow's five needs well decompose people's needs, so his demand theory has also been widely recognized by people.
