These needs are most basic of all human needs because these needs are the essential to human survival. Feist 1985: 379 notices “the members of these needs
are the needs for food, drink, oxygen, exercise, sleep, protection from extreme temperatures and sensory stimulation”. People must satisfy these needs before they
move up to the next level. Feist 1985: 379 states that “when people do not have their psychological needs
satisfied they live primarily for those needs and their constant motivation is satisfy them”. For example for hungry people they not have other motivations, expect
motivation to eat. They do not want to make a fried or gain self-esteem. They think about food all the time. Food is their goal. They assume only food can guarantee
their happiness and their life. b.
Safety and Security Needs Maslow in Hjelle an
d Zielger, 1992: 450 suggested that “safety and security needs are most readily observed in infants and young children because of their
relative helplessness and dependences on adults”. Infants and young children are object which readily observed of this needs, because they helplessness and depend on
adults. It is known that both children and infants usually film and so on. So, in this case their parents have big role to assure of their safety feeling.
c. Love and Belongingness Needs

Self-Esteem Needs
6 According to Maslow in Feist, 1985: 380 “there are two levels of esteem
needs: the first is reputation which the person’s perception of the prestige, recognition or fame he has achieved in the eyes of other people and the second is self
esteem defined as people own feeling at worth and confidence”.
e. Self-Actualization Needs
Every people have different way to actualize theme selves. Maslow in Hjelle and Zielger, 1992: 454 mentions: musicians must take music, artist must paint, and
poet must wri te if they are to be ultimately at peace themselves”.
Although people have different potentials and ways in actualizations, their goal is same, they want to show up who are they and what they can do in their life. Feist
1985: 404 states that “when self-actualizations is reached there is wonderful synergy among the biological, social, and spiritual lives of the person”. It means
people will teach their balance in life if they can complete five levels of Maslow’s
hierarchy of needs.
