He made a classification system which reflected the universal needs of an individuals. There is a pattern through which human motivation behaves and, in order to get to the actualize a higher need, first the lower, more existential needs need to be fulfilled.

According to Maslow, higher-order needs are not universal and may differ across various cultures due to individual differences and availability of resources in that geographical area.
