Student Answer:
Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs is clearly visible in sociology. Some sociologist study world social problems. This can range from hunger to education. Many studies show that impoverished countries have less education and less economic growth. Theorist and I believe Marlow’s Hierarchy of Needs can help explain why this is. In these improvised countries their basic needs are not met on a regular bias if ever. The struggle to survive consumes their daily lives, actions, and likely thoughts. The people simply do not have the time to even contemplate the formation of an education system let alone the resources to even do it. Unfortunately, a cycle emerges, impoverished people struggle to met basic needs, the children will then lack education, unable to function or compete in the world market the economic condition of the country grows even worse. As conditions get ever worse civil unrest breaks around the region, causing more lose and devastation. While Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs may help us to better understand underprivileged societies It does not help us solve the problems our world faces today or tomorrow. Perhaps the harder question is, how to help these people considering our understanding of Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs? While the answer may sound simple at first. Give them their basic needs. That causes another series of chain reaction that would not help in the end. To some point the people must find motivation with in to push the society out of the condition.
My Response:
Sociology is interesting. Many people use it as a counseling qualification, too though, or do politics instead. Me, I would chose sociology.
People who do not have the basic needs of life down need to forget about school for awhile, you're right.
You accurately hint that bad problems ruck "amuck" between leading nations, as well, in things like "funding for the arts."
Student Answer:
I think impoverished countries experience lesser levels of education because they are constantly in survival mode. They are always trying to find food or a means to get food or shelter. They must put this as priority number one every day. Most kids must do chores or find food as soon as they start walking. Parents aren't wanting their kid to go to school and give up their daily chores. They also don’t have the access or the resources that most countries have. Motivationally, I think this is a negative. These poor countries never have anything positive to look forward to in life, because they’re not educated to make a living and better themselves and their family. Like I said before, they just don’t have the resources that a lot of countries have. My mom is from the Philippines and growing up she didn’t have any kind of education; it just wasn’t offered to her. I think it’s a lesser concern also because, governments lack the financial and political resources it takes to meet the people's educational needs. Most of the teachers are unqualified and classrooms are probably too crowded for kids to learn.
My Response:
You're right, most families in some areas never make it to school. The biggest problem seems to be that most schools don't offer orchestra but maybe band. It's hard to learn a musical instrument later in life, in some ways. My mom comes from a 3rd world country by the capitol of Indonesia. She didn't get to nor like to eat much, and the pollution affected her. She died in December at the age of 59, from cancers and the medicine making her stop eating and breathing eventually. She knew for about 2 or 3 years and had it for maybe about 5 years. I thought she was getting better. She just didn't get her breasts checked, in time.
