  1. Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs (often represented as a pyramid with five levels of needs) is a motivational theory in psychology that argues that while people aim to meet basic needs, they seek to meet successively higher needs in the form of a pyramid. Abraham H. Maslow felt as though conditioning theories did not adequately capture the complexity of human behavior. In a 1943 paper called A Theory of Human Motivation, Maslow presented the idea that human actions are directed toward goal attainment[1]. Any given behavior could satisfy several functions at the same time; for instance, going to a bar could satisfy one’s needs for self-esteem and for social interaction. Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs has often been represented in a hierarchical pyramid with five levels. The four levels (lower-order needs) are considered physiological needs, while the top level of the pyramid is considered growth needs. The lower level needs must be satisfied before higher-order needs can influence behavior. The levels are as follows (see pyramid in Figure 1 below).

Self-actualization – includes morality, creativity, problem solving, etc.

Esteem – includes confidence, self-esteem, achievement, respect, etc.

Belongingness – includes love, friendship, intimacy, family, etc.

Safety – includes security of environment, employment, resources, health, property, etc.

Physiological – includes air, food, water, sex, sleep, other factors towards homeostasis, etc.

Deprivation Needs

The first four levels are considered deficiency or deprivation needs (“D-needs”) in that their lack of satisfaction causes a deficiency that motivates people to meet these needs. Physiological needs, the lowest level on the hierarchy, include necessities such as air, food, and water. These tend to be satisfied for most people, but they become predominant when unmet. During emergencies, safety needs such as health and security rise to the forefront. Once these two levels are met, belongingness needs, such as obtaining love and intimate relationships or close friendships, become important. The next level, esteem needs, include the need for recognition from others, confidence, achievement, and self-esteem.

Growth Needs

The highest level is self-actualization, or the self-fulfillment. Behavior in this case is not driven or motivated by deficiencies but rather one’s desire for personal growth and the need to become all the things that a person is capable of becoming[2][3].

Criticisms

While a useful guide for generally understanding why students behave the way that they do and in determining how learning may be affected by physiological or safety deficiencies, Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs has its share of criticisms. Some critics have noted vagueness in what is considered a “deficiency”; what is a deficiency for one is not necessarily a deficiency for another. Secondly, there seem to be various exceptions that frequently occur. For example, some people often risk their own safety to rescue others from danger.

Rebuttal starter on why phones should be used in school and rebuttal evidence /// 5 sentences
Fynjy0 [20]

Phones should not be used in class because they are a major distraction. If a phone goes off in class not only does it distract the owner of the phone, but everyone in class instantly looks at the person whose phone went off. Which also brings up the problem with social media, and texting. Oxford learning states that "Students check their phones in the classroom an average of more than 11 times a day. That can add up to a lot of time spent distracted from schoolwork." But with that problem its also a sign of immaturity, In my opinion if they are gonna be on their phone anyways just let them. Because there is always that one kid that if you say No they will do it anyways. I think a solution for most the distraction is to say "Everyone turn your phones on silent, If I hear it go off its mine." That stops the hole surrounding distraction.

Read the excerpt from Julius Caesar, act 1, scene 2.
patriot [66]

The correct answer is 4: Cassius cannot believe that a weakling like Caesar has become so great. Cassius complains of being forced to bow before Caesar (he "must bend his body If Caesar carelessly but nod on him"), and the fact that Caesar has suffered from fevers and seizures makes his submission to him all the more enraging. Cassius does not believe himself to be less than any other man, much less one who has such weak health.

Can somebody help me write this essay about social media addiction? I feel like people should try to give their phone a break bu
nikitadnepr [17]

Here are some ideas to write in your essay:

Social media is addicting because you can crave validation from others with likes and comments. It could also be addicting because you feel you are not good enough like these other men and women so you look at their body and compare it to yours. You should not be on social media that often if you do not have very high confidence and self love and can be brought down easily by words and pictures. Social media creates more problems sometimes and sometimes its a good platform but being on it to much can fill your brain with toxic thoughts that are no good for you.
