Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs Concepts

The video explores Maslow's hierarchy of needs, a psychological theory that categorizes human needs into five levels: physiological, safety, social, esteem, and self-actualization. It explains how these needs motivate behavior and how they are prioritized. The video also discusses updates to the model, including cognitive and transcendence needs, and examines the advantages and disadvantages of the theory. The hierarchy is not rigid, and needs can overlap, reflecting the dynamic nature of human motivation.
