Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs |
Safety Needs
According to Maslow (1973) safety needs are composed of various components, including home stability, job security, and medical benefits. Maslow emphasized on the importance of a home that provided protection from threatening events (e.g. criminality, natural disasters), financial security (e.g. savings account), and a reliable government that provided sufficient protection to its society (e.g. law enforcement, public safety). These factors create a stable and organized environment that one can rely on. A predicable world that allows one to adjust and thrive in ones own environment.
