Physiological needs include breathing, drinking, eating, excretion, and sex.
Safety needs include personal security from crime, financial security, health and well-being, and a safety net against accidents/illness.
Social needs include friendship, sexual intimacy, and having a supportive and communicative family.
Esteem needs include self-esteem, confidence, achievement, respect of others.
Only once all these lower needs are met can a human reach self-actualization and the realization of their own potential. Higher needs only come into focus when lower needs are satisfied.
I believe this is an accurate model of human behavior.
