Abraham Maslow was an American psychologist who created, “Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs,” in 1943, and it was published in a paper titled, “A Theory of Human Motivation.” The five necessary things for a human being to be fully developed psychologically and physically include; physiological needs such as water and shelter, safety and security like family, love and belonging which is a sense of connection to others, self-esteem which is the need to be an individual, and lastly self-actualization which is morality and experiences of purpose. Maslow’s hierarchy of needs qualify the ideas of putting down roots, by the first the basic psysiological needs and for humans to feel safe, then through love and belonging, which often comes from friends and family. Self-actualization relates to the the position statement from Jack Kerouac, in which “Everyone is doing what they think they are supposed to be doing,” where Maslow states that a sense of purpose is the last thing needed in order to successfully have all the needs for a fulfilled human life. This effectively would unite the American people on to some level where we are all considered equal humans.
