Abraham Harold Maslow (1908 - 1970)
Abraham Maslow developed a theory of personality that has influenced a number of different fields. He has set up a hierarchic theory of needs. All of his basic needs are instinctive, equival to instincts in animals.
According to Maslow, if the environment is right, people which started with a very weak disposition will grow straight and beautiful. However, if the environment is not right they will not grow tall and straight and beautiful.
Maslow has set up a hierarchy of five levels of basic needs. In the levels of the five basic needs, the person does not feel the second need until the demands of the first have been satisfied
Here are the list of Maslow's basic needs:
-Physiological needs,
-Safety needs,
-Needs of Love, affection and belongingness,
-Needs of esteem,
-Needs for self-actualization.
The hierarchic theory is generally assimilated as a pyramid, with the larger, lower levels representing the lower needs, and the upper point representing the need for self-performance. Maslow believes that the only reason that people would not move in direction of self-performance is because of difficulties placed in their way by society. He states that education is one of these difficulties. He recommends ways education can switch from its usual person-stunting tactics to person-growing approaches.
