Answer:

b) Ricky's need for belongingness is not being met.

Explanation:

Maslow proposed a theory based on a hierarchy of needs, this hierarchy is often depicted as hierarchical levels within a pyramid.

According to Maslow, needs lower down in the hierarchy need to be satisfied in order to focus in needs that are higher up in the pyramid.

The needs are:

  1. Physiological: refer to biological needs for human survival (food, warmth, sleep, etc)
  2. Safety needs: refer to protection from elements (security, order, stability)
  3. Love and belongingness needs: These has to do with the need for interpersonal relationships. (friendship, intimacy, love)
  4. Esteem needs: these needs refer to the need for respect or reputation (achievement, mastery, status).
  5. Self-actualization needs: Refer to realizing one own's potential and self-fulfillment. "To become everything one is capable of becoming"

According to the example, Ricky has a lavish home with an elaborate security system and he owns a luxurious car. <u>We can see that his safety needs (security) are being met.</u>

Also since he is a senior partner in a law firm with a luxurious car, <u>we can say that his esteem needs are being met too (achievement, status).</u>

However, <u>he lives alone and does not find the time to socialize, thus, there are no real interpersonal relationships in his life.</u>

We can conclude, based on this that Ricky's belongingness needs are not being fulfilled and this could explain his discontentment with life.

1. Sectionalism in the United States was the undue devotion to regional interests over those of the United States, severely dividing it into the Pro-slavery South and Anti-slavery North.

2. The big issue in the United States as a result of the westward expansion was <u>Slavery</u> in the Western Territories.

3. The Missouri Compromise remained a temporary solution to the issue of slavery in 1820 as the nation later engaged in a divisive and devastating Civil War largely centered on the issue of slavery.

<h3>How did slavery divide the United States?</h3>

The Southern economy relied on enslaved labor for the cultivation of its large plantations of cotton, tobacco, and other crops.

The North used enslaved labor for mostly domestic activities since the economy did not require labor-intensiveness.  It later outlawed the spread of slavery.

Thus, sectionalism in the United States divided the nation into the Pro-slavery South and Anti-slavery North.
