Hierarchy Of Needs

Decent Essays

When you reach the five principles of Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, it means you understand human motivation and your life is fulfilled, but the truth is, it is difficult to reach these principles because most of human beings have lack of these needs due to the style of life they have, or they are not happy with themselves or with the world in general. To find some examples of these five principles, let’s do it thru songs that can be related.
First principle: Physiological
I picked was “Earth Song” by Michael Jackson. I think this song is related with this principle because the unbalance that we have on Earth; how we depend on the nature and instead of saving the environment, we are destroying it. The song is calling people to save the world …show more content…

People will always need help and I think that when you do not feel secure, there is always important to call for help. My second song was “I will Survive” Gloria Gaynor because sometime after a break up, some people feel unconfident and not safety, but after a time passes, people can come along with that security that they used to have before.

Third Principle: Love/Belonging
I picked “A Thousand Year” by Christina Perri. I love this song since the first time that I heard it. This song tells you that time can fly, and we can die but even thou he/she will love you for an eternity. My second song is “Because You Love Me” by Celine Dion. She transmits a message thru this song about the person that has been with her forever and how graceful she is to be with him. The singer cannot be more clear when she sings “You were my strength when I was weak, You were my voice when I couldn't speak, You were my eyes when I couldn't see, You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach, You gave me faith 'coz you believed, I'm everything I am
Because you loved me.”

The other song is “Beautiful” by Christina Aguilera because I like how she is trying to say the world that we are beautiful either inside or outside and we have to love ourselves for who we are. We need to have acceptance, not to the people, but us.
Fifth Principle: Self-Actualization
I picked “Superwoman” by Alicia Key because the song is about how strong woman are now compare with the past. Woman always will find a way to scape and to survive; that woman are important to the world and the society needs to know that. My second song was ‘Born This Way” by Lady Gaga. It is not a secret that Lady Gaga is a woman with no prejudice in her live. She is accepted for how she is and she invites the world to do the same. She was born like that and she does not care if people do not agree with it.
The five principles are very important to our society and to be happy for the rest of our lives; and songs help to transmit the message of Maslow. Music will always connect
