Abraham Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory is a psychological theory that suggests humans have a set of innate needs that must be fulfilled in a specific order. These needs, arranged in a pyramid, include physiological needs, safety needs, belongingness and love needs, esteem needs, and self-actualization.
Physiological Needs: These are our basic biological necessities for survival like food, water, air, shelter.
Safety Needs: This refers to feeling secure physically and emotionally by having stability and protection.
Belongingness and Love Needs: This involves the need to feel accepted by others and have meaningful relationships.
