HUMANISM
Humanism is a philosophy that stresses the importance
of human factors rather than looking at religious,
divine, or spiritual matters.

ABRAHAM MASLOW
• Abraham Maslow was born on April 1, 1908, in
Brooklyn, New York, where he grew up the first of
seven children born to his Jewish parents who
emigrated from Russia.
• Maslow studied law at City College of New York
(CCNY). After developing an interest in
psychology, he switched to the University of
Wisconsin where earned all three of his degrees in
psychology (a bachelor's, master's, and doctorate)
ABRAHAM MASLOW

PHYSIOLOGICAL NEEDS
• These refer to basic physical needs like drinking when thirsty or
eating when hungry.
• Maslow considered physiological needs to be the most essential
of our needs. If someone is lacking in more than one need,
they’re likely to try to meet these physiological needs first. For
example, if someone is extremely hungry, it’s hard to focus on
anything else besides food. Another example of a physiological
need would be the need for adequate sleep.
SAFETY
• Once people’s physiological requirements are met, the next need
that arises is a safe environment. Our safety needs are apparent
even early in childhood, as children have a need for safe and
predictable environments and typically react with fear or anxiety
when these are not met. Maslow pointed out that in adults living in
developed nations, safety needs are more apparent in emergency
situations (e.g. war and disasters), but this need can also explain
why we tend to do things like purchase insurance and contribute to
a savings account.
