Explanation:

Geraldo is talking about his new job with his brother. He says he likes this job better than his previous jobs because now he feels respected. He has always felt a need to feel this way at work, and now he finally does. Geraldo is describing how his job meets his need for esteem. This can be well defined by the Maslow’s Theory  which is also known as “Hierarchy of Needs Theory”. Maslow recognized that every human contains the hierarchy of five needs as illustrated below.  

1: Physiological or Biological Needs. These needs include hunger, thirst, accommodation, sexual needs, and other physical needs.

2: Safety Needs. These needs consist of safety and security from physical and psychological damage.

3: Social Needs. Need for love, association, attachment, acceptance, relationship and friendship.

4: Esteem Needs. Internal elements like self-respect, acquirement, and independence, and external elements such as rank, identification, attention and acceptance.

5: Self-actualization Needs. The urge to become what a person is capable of becoming, that contains proliferation, attaining our potential, and self-realization.
