Hierarchy of Needs

Apply the Hierarchy of Needs theory to your motivation to earn a college degree (the esteem level). How your priority of does needs influence your motivation as a student? In discussing your priority of needs, you must address: 1. what your esteem level looks like currently in regards to your pursuit of a college degree (the esteem level); 2. Provide concrete examples for each of the 3 lower level needs, showing how they have been met/not met during your childhood; and 3. Provide concrete examples for each of the 3 lower level needs, showing how they have (or have not) been satisfied currently; and 4. Discuss whether your lower level needs (past and present) have affected your ability to pursue a college degree currently (reach the esteem level). If you "missed" a level, but somehow turned out to be a successful college student, Maslow would say that you must have gotten some of that need met somewhere in order to be the successful student you are today. See if you can identify how that need was met in spite of your history.
