Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs

These are your basic needs for survival:

FoodWaterShelter

Level One: Physiological Needs

This level provides security and protection

Level Two: Safety

The need to feel loved and to belong to a family type unit.

Level Three: Love and Belongingness

The need to feel pride in one’s self.

Level Four: Self Esteem

The final level of Maslow’s hierarchy in which a person reaches their highest level of potential without expecting a reward for their efforts.

Level Five: Self Actualization

Now that you understand Maslow’s hierarchy:

Why does it pertain to Hitler and WWII?

Short answer is…At the end of 1929, Germany was in an economic depression. Many basic needs (Level One on Maslow’s) were not even being met. Hitler capitalized on this, promising prosperity and a Germany unlike anything the people had ever seen.
