Document Summary

We are born with certain needs and motives. Deficiency motives we are motivated to remove a deficiency or discomfort. Growth motives- even when there is no deficiency we are motivated to develop beyond our present condition. The most basic needs have to be fulfilled before you can move up the needs chart. Physiological needs, safety and security, belongingness and love needs, esteem, cognitive needs (knowledge and understanding), aesthetic needs (order beauty), need for self-actualization. Everybody needs to want to have these growth motives. Self actualization is when a person has reached the ultimate, they cannot grow and better them selves anymore: people never really do become self actualized, people have moments of it but never really do. Most people fulfill in this order, but some exceptions apply. If people experience certain emotions they will be motivated towards various behaviour. Sometimes people feel emotions when they cannot achieve a goal.
