General Psychology

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.

General Psychology

Assignment:

Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs and its relation to understanding those who are underprivileged with the basic necessities of life. Help your reader understand why impoverished countries might experience lesser levels of education and how this might impact motivation positively or negatively. Why might education be a lesser concern in poorer countries?


My Work:


Education (Maslow)

Tier 1 - Food

Actually, even the top in education are lagging in the bottom of Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs.  They may be at a top college, and are they said to struggle to eat more than a bagel, like maybe going to medical school.

In high school, students are confused about what classes to take and overwork and end up not eating lunch to finish assignments.

Many people do not stop at McDonald's or Dunkin' Donuts on the way to work or school and may skip breakfast.  The only need some may fill is a drink of coffee, which may not be that bad but still not a "complete breakfast."

Tier 2 - Mental Security

Many people feel instable.  A race with poorer people is Asia.

High schoolers in the US primarily feel instable monetarily because it's "18 and out" normally.  They need a scholarship and some work.  High schools do not encourage everyone to follow their dreams, such as people in the creative and performing arts.  They only help in fields like healthcare and business.  They even make special arrangements to help in these fields but not including everyone still.  No one seems to know it's best to take the minimum requirements and to go ahead and graduate early, though that's just some areas probably.  If you linger and take extra courses, you might go amiss in your career path and college major for it.  Each class takes a lot of energy, especially the higher requirements,

Tier 3 - Love

Actually, in different areas of the country, people do not feel love.  If you live in Florida or somewhere in the US South, you should notice that only people with parents or ancestors from the US South get to "feel good."  You may never understand another culture.

Same with other countries.  I think Europe supposedly gets the most love and intended to be available to the US since we are the same culture, as a whole.

Tier 4 - Reputation

A lot of people aren't ready for high school because other people are ahead of their time but not well-behaved.  So, in the US, a lot of people don't feel like they're worth anything because they weren't prepared for college.  Asia is mainly good at math, but it's sad they are not as welcome in other fields.  They don't have as good of resources in classical music as countries like Germany.

Tier 5  - Identity

A lot of people go through life not knowing they have to do things like connect to their ancestral heritage dating back to Europe.  They are in places that are hot spots for issues like the US and just go through the motions.  A lot of people on the streets waltz around like they're all that, but they're really homeless.  It's strange they feel so egotistical without the base needs met.

Tier 6 - Art

Some people come from a normal family with nice houses decorated, but some people come from poor or less decorated houses, for example.  People tend to threaten you socially for what your family is like in this way, in how they treat you, again considered innocent just going through the motions.

The US a lot of it is not as aesthetic as cultures like Europe, again.

Tier 7 - Self Worth

People do not feel fulfilled because a lot of them wish they could do things they can't, like playing a considerably more difficult instrument like the violin.  People who do are probably "hanging on for dear life."

Tier 8 - Helper Traits

People in the US don't even care when you offer to help.  They might accept it but think you're just getting attention.


People having poor education is bad because it was such a big part and determination of life.   Europe will probably be on top for all it has culturally and all it is said to provide to those who can seek it out.

The fact there are poor people, in school makes the teacher drill in our heads to "feed the poor."  We will always have to worry about people being mad they didn't get a chance.  It is best to worry about problems that the privileged face because they are harder to solve, than putting a meal in front of someone, if we go to college to learn more than that, things that are more important in the hierarchy or advanced.
