Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -What Is Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs ? Maslow’s hierarchy of needs is a theory of motivation which states that five categories of human needs dictate an individual’s behavior. Those needs are physiological needs, safety needs, love and belonging needs, esteem needs, and self-actualization needs.

Detailed explanation-2: -There are five main levels to Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. These levels begin from the most basic needs to the most advanced needs. Maslow originally believed that a person needed to completely satisfy one level to begin pursuing further levels.

Detailed explanation-3: -“Here’s the problem with Maslow’s hierarchy, ” explains Rutledge. “None of these needs-starting with basic survival on up-are possible without social connection and collaboration…. Without collaboration, there is no survival.

Detailed explanation-4: -Though recent evidence from a large study was mixed, most studies have found the needs Maslow identified are not universal, and our requirements are not pursued in an ascending, linear fashion. One doesn’t need to live in a safe environment to seek meaning and creativity.
