<\/p>\n\n\n\nThere are so many ways I feel Maslow’s Hierarchy relates to myself, the human need to<\/p>\n\n\n\n
be connected by either personal or work related, just have become a big part of a<\/p>\n\n\n\n
routine I can honestly say, it will be really hard to break or get rid off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maslow’s theology just indicates that we are driven to satisfy a hierarchy of demands,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
ranging from simple physiological needs to a quest for self-actualization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maslow\u2019s Hierarchy of Needs<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n 1- I am fully guilty of becoming victim of having physiological needs, I think I can<\/p>\n\n\n\n describe them into two categories, one is the need to be connected, just like an<\/p>\n\n\n\n addiction, where you don’t feel like yourself when you don’t know that is going on in the<\/p>\n\n\n\n world, and the constant need to checking our phones every five minutes. Prime<\/p>\n\n\n\n example I clearly remember is people going into complete chaos back in 2001 when the<\/p>\n\n\n\n social platforms had a global outage, it seemed the world was going to end for some.<\/p>\n\n\n\n second is that with technology, we don’t even need to leave our house, everything is<\/p>\n\n\n\n cather to us, and i mean everything, which I think it will bite us in a near future,<\/p>\n\n\n\n becoming too dependable and not socializing can create more loneliness and<\/p>\n\n\n\n dependency, just look at AI, people are making friendships and even establishing<\/p>\n\n\n\n relationships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2- Safety needs can come in many ways as well, technology is a great part of our daily<\/p>\n\n\n\n living security, can be from home security like a smart home hub with notifications and<\/p>\n\n\n\n everything, to us being so dependable on online banking. Additionally trying to establish<\/p>\n\n\n\n a healthy cyber environment safe from cyberbullying or becoming a target of fraud or<\/p>\n\n\n\n data breach , to us being responsible for updating softwares of personal and worked<\/p>\n\n\n\n electronics because threats have just become too unpredictable.3- Belongingness and Love Need is something I believe that many people have been<\/p>\n\n\n\n losing, there has been just a loss of interest in people to connect, have personal<\/p>\n\n\n\n relationships and be immune to receiving affection or compliments. Many people just<\/p>\n\n\n\n don’t care about being part of a community and become disconnected from the real<\/p>\n\n\n\n world. It is just a tricky need, some might not needed personally but are very interested<\/p>\n\n\n\n on what other people are doing, and look for a sense of belonging on there own way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For me, I am all in, I love to connect with friends and family all over the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 4- For Esteem needs is just the feeling that everyone reaches to achieve, having a<\/p>\n\n\n\n healthy self-esteem and healthy, and many lack of, being praise for achievements, how<\/p>\n\n\n\n far have we made, this is the main reason we all are in social media bragging, so we<\/p>\n\n\n\n can get a sense of gratification from everyone’s posts and counting the likes of who we<\/p>\n\n\n\n think are our true friends, or the ones that care to look and comment. But it can backfire<\/p>\n\n\n\n as well with negative feedback we received, so we have to be careful about what we<\/p>\n\n\n\n wish for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I use self-esteem as a tool at work, it empowers the workforce because they think you<\/p>\n\n\n\n care about what they do, and it helps create a better working environment of respect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 5- The last need is Self-Actualization needs, this is the last level and most important,<\/p>\n\n\n\n because it represents one’s full potential, when one achieve everything that we have put<\/p>\n\n\n\n our mind to, it can be small goals as well, I am still working on my cherry on top which is<\/p>\n\n\n\n graduation form ODU. It can be anything, personnel, financial or new skills for sure like<\/p>\n\n\n\n learning to play guitar. Getting familiar with technology and their capabilities can<\/p>\n\n\n\n empower people to grow immensely, just look at all the self-millianers related to people<\/p>\n\n\n\n creating new and improved software or AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For what we can tell, all levels in Maslow\u2019s Hierarchy Need\u2019s can have a good and a<\/p>\n\n\n\n bad side for sure, depending on each individual, but it is crucial that we set eyes in<\/p>\n\n\n\n preserving ourselves and maximizing technology in our advantage finding a good and<\/p>\n\n\n\n stable balance to subsist with technological advances.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" There are so many ways I feel Maslow’s Hierarchy relates to myself, the human need to be connected by either personal or work related, just have become a big part of a routine I can honestly say, it will be really hard to break or get rid off.
