This shit must be from 1960 or the US version or something
Sex should be under social needs, but other than that I don't see what's wrong with it as a general framework.
the framework is fine, it's the context of "unfortunately it's harder to motivate workers via starvation now of days"
The concept of these as a “hierarchy” is bullshit. I am homeless and I struggle to get enough to eat every day, and yet, what makes me sad all the fucking time is the loneliness—specifically the loss of a friend last year (they aren’t dead, just not talking to me).
Yeah, I've struggled with my own conditions although not as much as your situation, and I hate Maslow's Hierarchy because I've been able to engage in some of the higher-order parts of it while lacking some of the lower-order parts; right now you are engaging in the social connection and belonging aspects but (without presuming to speak on your behalf authoritatively) I'm gonna guess that you are lacking in some of the lower-order parts of the hierarchy as we speak.
People will either forego the lower-order needs in order to achieve the higher-order things or their need to achieve the higher-order stuff will supercede their need for the lower-order stuff. If you respect people's autonomy then you should reject Maslow's Hierarchy because it imposes a set of priorities that are completely external to the individual.
I mean, it's fine if you're dealing with a first-year social work student or whatever - someone who needs to be shaken out of their comfortably "middle" class existence to recognise that people who lack food or shelter are generally going to be unwilling or incapable of the higher-order stuff on the hierarchy and so they need to focus on the lower-order stuff first but the whole thing is just meh.
https://gatherfor.medium.com/i-got-it-wrong-7d9b314fadff interesting article on where the hierarchy of needs came from (vulgarisation of Blackfoot knowledge) and also a lot of the misconceptions around it.
the pyramid is completely made up lol
- Showbonus: if your workers are good, let them see a loved one!
Level 1 with the glaring oversight by failing to mention adequate healthcare lol
If you're unfortunate enough to live in the US, that definitely wasn't intentional.
You can visit your partner in the hospital, but only as a treat. What the actual fuck is wrong with the person who wrote this? They're an emotionless manipulator.
I commented on the entire thing and the teacher ended up saying it was pretty brutal
