Maslow has given a framework that helps to understand the strength of needs and how a person moves from one need to the other when the basic needs are fulfilled. These needs are arranged in the hierarchical form as shown below: (Maslow’s Need Hierarchy, n.d) The hierarchy is made up of 5 levels: 1. Physiological – these needs must be met in order…

Logotherapy is underpinned by the humanistic paradigm, as its key concepts recognise human individuality and freedom, as well as their need to fulfil their potential and find meaning. To understand the connection between humanism and logotherapy, it is important to first take a look at what humanism is, and how it came about.

Physiological needs are our most basic needs that get us through everyday life, such as food, water, shelter, and sleep. The next step is safety needs which is where we find security in life and is the last “basic” need. Next, we reach the need of belongingness and love, which is a psychological need…

social contract to mitigate these factors." These factors include: equality of need, scarcity of those needs, equality of human power, and limited altruism.

The first factor Browne introduces to us is equality of need. The stranded boys in Lord of the Flies share their basic, human needs. They have the clothes on their backs and lack adult supervision,…
