The model consisted of, according to Maslow, the five basic needs of the human race; one of them being the need for love, and belonging.

I was driving my car alarmingly fast down an empty country road when my back tires hit a remarkably slick patch of ice, and proceeded to spin quickly into a ditch.

Carmichael is calling for the end of the institutions created at the founding of the…
