The pyramid of needs Maslow is a tool psychology belonging to the current humanist in which all aspects lead to the hierarchy of needs own and direct of the human being. The pyramid of needs Maslow is the first work of Abraham Maslow, an American psychologist who based his work on the study of the ability of man autorealizar its goals and objectives, through the application of generic tools and in some cases even obvious, such as breathing and feeding. Maslow's Pyramid of Needs is a diagram that from the base directs us to our most basic needs: Breathing, food, sex, rest and homeostasis (cellular process by which the body assimilates and takes advantage of all the necessary nutrients and vitamins from meals and food you receive). Here is the complete pyramid:
In Maslow's Pyramid of Needs, a hierarchical system is applied that does not impose needs, it simply serves as a reference to what is natural, elemental and primarily fair, however, free will allows human beings the ability to decide what to invest in the time of his life. This " Elemental " hierarchy places at the base the most basic, physiological needs, that is, what each human must do to live, on the upper floor we encounter security needs, these include everything that allows life to be calm, stable and safe, this is the case of security at home, employment, health, among others.
The third and fourth floors explain to us needs that after securing those expressed by the first two floors, are applicable to socialize with each other. Human beings live in communities that evolve as agents such as technology prosper, so to complement the process of food and sex, they must interact with others and with nature itself. In these floors the most essential feelings, friendship, love, sexual desire and also moral and ethical principles such as trust, respect, dignity and pride are presented. Finally, at the top of Maslow's Pyramid of Needs we find more complex life processes, problem solvingas the most important of them, basically rooted problems and circumstances from the floors below, but which also require the implementation of analysis and morality, creativity and acceptance of facts.
