In this statement, Maslow is arguing that not all of our needs are equally important. Some needs, such as food or thirst, are our priority, and only when we satisfy these do we begin to think about others such as love and self-esteem.
An example that shows this are people who live in extreme poverty and steal food. People in this situation would rather compromise their safety, freedom and maybe even self-worth in order to satisfy their hunger.
However, some evidence points to the opposite as well. For example, soldiers who join the war do so to fulfill abstract needs such as earning respect and finding meaning, even if this means risking their safety, having little to eat and facing many uncomfortable situations. Another example is athletes. Athletes train to a degree that is uncomfortable and hard. They also limit their food intake to certain types of food in order to achieve goals such as self-fulfillment and a higher self-esteem.
This should help because plantation owners in the south had a good thing going and we’re getting rich off of cotton and tobacco using slaves
On December 5 or 6 1492 a fateful wind led Christopher Columbus to the island of Haiti that he renamed Española
thinking that it looked like Spain. Guacanagaric, the cacique of the Marien in the northern part of the island, warmly welcomed
Columbus. He thought the Taino looked coward and could easily be defeated and enslaved:
"They...brought us parrots and balls of cotton and spears and many other things... They would make fine servants... With fifty
men we could subjugate them all and make them do whatever we want.
<span>In Moses'
"third" sermon in Deuteronomy...</span>
In Hebrew, Deuteronomy means “Second Law” the entire book
contains the three addresses Moses gave, which he charged to be composed upon
stones. In these addresses, Moses helped the general population to remember
every one of the things that God did for them. Likewise helping them to
remember every one of the necessities to be met for the gifts God needed to
provide for His kin.
Number 1 I hope it helps :D
