Importance of Maslow’s Theory in 21st Century & its Implications in Daily Life

Abstract

Maslow may be known to you. Or perhaps a fan. On the other hand, if a psychologist begins to spew out a theory, you might quit listening. Google “Maslow” or his “hierarchy of wants,” and the results will probably show a colourful pyramid. However, what does it mean and is it still relevant considering that this specific thinker died fifty years ago? In the more than 70 years since the famous psychologist first proposed his theory, the system’s current needs and advantages have changed dramatically. It’s still crucial to consider if Maslow’s hierarchy of needs still holds true after all these time. To put it briefly, Maslow believed that human needs could be neatly divided into five categories. After the requirements of one category have been satisfied, the next one is activated. Maslow never actually discussed the hierarchy in terms of a pyramid, according to Lean Advisor Greg Stocker. To clarify the hypothesis, the diagram was created considerably later. The study’s objective is to determine how applicable Maslow’s hierarchy of needs is in the twenty-first century.
