The motivation theory that relates to me the most is "Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs". This theory states that humans have needs that are hierarchically ranked in order of importance. I am actually quite familiar with this theory after taking two AP courses on Psychology. I believe that this motivation theory is the one that everyone can relate to. It is absolutely true that all humans require the fulfillment of their physiological needs. Water, air, and food are indeed the most vital things in this world to ensure our survival. Without these basic needs being met, there is no way for us to fulfill any of the extra needs that we wish to fulfill. I believe that safety is correctly placed in this ranking. If we are in an unsafe environment it will…
With the big demand being for supplies in the upcoming war they would need a lot of supplies if the colonist were going to win the war against the British. If they would have to do without ammo the soldiers weapons would not function. Without clothes they would freeze or be exposed to the elements. Without transportation the supplies would not have made it to the colonist. This would have lead to a different outcome in the war.…
What does a person need in their lives? Food? Shelter? Love? Family? This is a question that can be answered both with very simply ideas and more complex concepts. In “Sun from America,” Berl and Berlcha would have a fairly dissimilar response to this question than their son, Samuel.…
Abraham Maslow was a very important modern psychologist. He is most known for his hierarchy of human needs. A simple, yet complex scheme of five categories that arrange human needs within a hierarchy was created as a structure of human motivation. Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs includes: physiological needs, safety needs, belongingness and love needs, esteem needs, and self-actualization. Maslow theorized that each of these needs be met before the individual is able to move up to the next level within the hierarchy. Although, Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs has been adapted, substantiated and criticized it is still being used as a tool in various research programs to test motivational theories (Brown & Cullen, 2006).…
Abraham Maslow is a famous psychologist known for creating Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs. The sections of his hierarchy are divided up into five groups. These sections include: physiological needs, safety needs, love and belonging needs, esteem needs, and self actualization. Maslow’s hierarchy of needs can be used to explain nearly all human behavior. Physiological needs, safety needs, and love and belonging needs are especially present in my everyday life.…
In Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs it states that all humans have some very basic needs that are required for any human to be able to survive, and some that are less important, but are still necessary for survival or just the humans pleasure. The very bottom need of Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs triangle is the physiological need. This includes things like sleep, water, air, reproduction so that the species does not go extinct, food, and other things like this. The second layer is the need to have safety. This layer of needs consists of things like physical safety, having a home, being able to have safe and secure surroundings, law and order, having a job that pays or provides for you, and health. The third layer in this is love and belonging.…

B) Four motivational theories that could explain why production has dropped at Engstrom after 2005 are Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, Herzberg’s Motivation-Hygiene theory, McClelland’s Need theory, and Expectancy theory. Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs is probably the most basic motivational theory which can highlight why people may or may not feel satisfaction in a situation including a workplace. After layoffs were happening, cutbacks, ration changes and so on, people started to feel unsafe in their position at Engstrom.…
Schultz and Schultz (2013) concurs Abraham Maslow's humanistic approach based on his needs-hierarchy theory and Albert Bandura's cognitive-behavioral approach on his modeling theory have advanced the ideas to explain the human personality. Maslow's ultimate goal was "each person is born with the same set of instinctive needs that enable us to grow, develop, and fulfill our potential (p. 243). " He believed both environmental and psychological factors are needed to be present within the development to achieve "self-actualization or reach our highest potential as humans. " In Maslow's theory is similar ideas on environment and Bandura's premise the world around us: (a) what we see, (b) what we feel, (c) what we experience are casual factors producing our behaviors. Schultz and Schultz (2013) states Maslow was the founder and spiritual leader of the humanistic psychology movement and he did not believe humans studied on only abnormality and emotional disturbed sampling yields only a crippling psychology ignoring the positive human qualities.…
I think that Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs is more relevant than Reader Response Theory to my study of the novel A Long Way Gone. It is very easy to see how Ishmael’s behaviour is shaped by his motivation to achieve certain levels of Maslow’s Hierarchy. The novel starts out by showing the reader that Ishmael was a normal, happy, confident boy, as seen when Ishmael talks of how he and some friends “had started a rap and dance group when [he] was eight” (17). Ishmael has a caring community and loving family until war reaches his village and forces him to struggle to attain basic needs, such as shelter, food and safety. Ishmael’s behaviour become’s governed by the needs that are no longer being met by a family as evidenced when Ishmael tells of…
A major invention that gunpowder took part in was the gun. The gun could pierce a knight’s armour, which impacted how people fought. The bullet could pierce the armour and kill with one shot. There were no more battle charges on open ground because you wanted to have cover so you didn’t get shot. The gun evolved into a machine gun. This gun did not have to be loaded every shot, it could shoot thirty or forty bullets before reloading. People really wanted cover then, they didn’t go in the open when that machine gun was in use.…
I believe that the progression of Maslow’s hierarchy in my life has taken its course, first in the physiological needs of air, water, food, clothing and shelter which have been there since I was born. Initially these were provided by my parents, but as an adult I now provide these very essentials for survival for myself and also my own family. This includes providing for their safety, personal, financial, and moral well-being, as well as a stable family environment. At the present time, I hold a good job which I feel secure within, although these days one cannot become too confident and for that reason I have decided to go back to school. I grew up in a loving environment with very close family ties and have been able to pass that along to my children with love and a sense of belonging. I’m blessed to have a wonderful wife, but I call her more than just my wife; she is also my best friend and confidant. I feel that I am accepted in any social circle and have been able to establish a good relationship with people of all walks of life, and the fact that I have been involved in different networking groups have helped me greatly. Because I hold a high self-esteem with self-respect, I feel confident and secure in decisions that I make and am proud of the things I have achieved, like obtaining my A&P license. I respect others and feel respected by them. I have been able to reach self-actualization in important areas of my life, such as being a great husband and provider, although I do realize that there are areas I need to work on, but that is what motivates me to press on and be all that I can…
