2.11: Theoretical Framework of Social Security Benefits 2.11.1 Related theory to social services 2.11.2: Maslow’s hierarchy theory by Abraham Maslow Maslow 's hierarchy of needs is a theory in psychology, proposed by Abraham Maslow in his 1943 paper A Theory of Human Motivation. In his theory, Maslow argues that most people are motivated by the desire to satisfy specific groups of needs. These needs include physiological needs; person’s needs for food, drink, shelter, sex, clothing, and other physiological requirement. Safety needs; person’s needs for stable environment relatively free from threats, meaning that needs for security and protection from physical and emotional harm, as well as assurance that physical needs will continue to be …show more content…
Until a particular group of needs is satisfied, a person’s behavior will be dominated by them. In addition, Maslow separated the five needs into higher and lower levels as he considered physiological and safety needs as lower-order needs and social, esteem, and self-actualization needs as higher-order needs. So from this theory it is seen that the importance of social security comes in where people thought of protecting themselves against any risks and vulnerabilities in the coming near future. Although in the security part of his theory, Maslow covers lots of things. The important aspect to note is that, in this aspect of security, Maslow considers the well-being of person’s body, health, family and property which are among the essentials in the social security institution …show more content…
(2009). Through the use of prescribed assets (PAs) governments also gain access to their economy’s pension savings as well as influence investment resources into particular sectors of the economy.

Charles Fusco, Federal Writers’ Project interview in which he offers his perspective on the New Deal, “Roosevelt Is a ‘Damned Good Man’” says, “This social security measure gives some protection to 30 million of our citizens who will receive direct benefits through unemployment compensation, through old-age pensions, and through increased services for the protection of children and the prevention of ill health.” “It will act as a protection to future Administrations against the necessity of going deeply into debt to help the needy. It is, in short, a law that will take care of human needs and at the same time provide the United States with a sound economic structure”(SQ 3, E). Social security was very important to the Success of the New Deal. The text says, “Social security was a piece of this change, signaling Americans viewed the government as responsible for ensuring that older Americans would live decent lives.
The act provided the general level of productivity of the country, national perception of an appropriate standard of living, available technology, and level of employment, demographic characteristics of the population, changing roles of the family system, and technical and administrative inventiveness. (Jenkins, 1983, p. 816). These factors give the government the responsibility for taking the steps to avoid economic breakdown while providing for its citizens. The Security act would allow a long term impact on creating better ways to provide social welfare. While there are good parts of the Social Security Act, there are some who criticize its effect on the tax payers.
Social justice is often strived for by society. It is a necessary force in allowing humankind to coexist. However, the individual also has to play a role in maintaining social justice. The role of the individual is stated in the texts Fahrenheit 451 and “The Pedestrian” by Ray Bradbury and “Letter From Birmingham Jail” by Martin Luther King Jr. by illustrating the consequences of not participating in the monitoring of justice.
A country’s social security system is very important, as it directly relates to the happiness and wellbeing of its citizens. During this time period, Canada’s social security system advanced greatly, specifically with the Canadian Pension Plan and the Medical Care Act. Although an Old Age Pension Act was already introduced in 1927, this program only provided benefits for seniors who had an annual income that was less than $350. With the economic improvement following World War 2, seniors faced the problem of inflation because their pensions were tied to minimum income levels rather than the cost of living. In 1951, Louis St. Laurent fixed this issue by introducing the Old Age Security Act and Old Age Assistance Act, the first pensions that
Every time a baby is born in the U.S. they are given a social security number. This number will continue to be important until the day that they die. Young people often do not know the importance of Social Security except the fact that it is used often for identification purposes. In recent years there has been a lot of talk surrounding the Social Security system and the current crisis that it is facing. Of course there are many possible solutions to combat this crisis, but none without their faults.
The first theory which is applied by Walt Disney Company is employee engagement. According to Dana Wilkie (2014a), it is named as the happiest place on the world. Naveenshahi (2013) said that Disney often focuses on people and creates a happy environment for their employees and makes them loyal to the company. To achieve the high engagement of employees, they hire and train the employees, create enthusiasm through communication and always put people at first. Walt Disney has a well-being employee engagement as there are some examples show that employees often put customers at the first place, work hard on their jobs.
Piaget and Maslow: Teaching the whole child Exceptional educators keep their fingers on the pulse of what their students need, in order to teach them effectively. Examining Piaget and Maslow’s theories, and applying them to the classroom will facilitate achieving this goal. Considering Piaget’s focus on development, and Maslow’s prioritization of human needs, one can integrate these ideas into classrooms and lesson plans that are optimized for student success.
Whereas, Maslow’s hierarchy of needs were also divided into different stages from the physiological needs, safety needs, love or belongings, esteem and then to the stage of self-actualization (Maslow,
Maslow’s Hierarchy of needs and the four principles of Ethics are also evident in this assignment. 1.1 Maslow Hierarchy of needs This pyramid concept was created by a psychologist named Abraham Maslow. [Figure 1] The most basic needs are at the base and the more complex needs of the patient is at the top of the pyramid ¹. The lower four needs are referred to as deficiency needs, these needs are due to a lack of something and they have to be satisfied to avoid unpleasantness.¹
According to Maslow’s hierarchy of needs theory, there are five broad motivational needs classified into basic needs and growth needs (Kaur, 2013). The basic needs include, esteem, psychological, love and safety. On the other hand, growth needs involve self-actualization. In this regard, Maslow stipulated that individuals are motivated to attain certain needs (Kaur, 2013). These needs are arranged in such a way that the lower needs must be met before the higher ones.
The first one is Maslow’s need theory which is a motivational theory that illustrates the five types of human being needs in hierarchical pyramid structure. The first type of Maslow’s hierarchy is psychological need such as air, food, shelter, water. The second type is safety needs such as security from outside threats and freedom from fear. The third type is belongings need such as friendship, trust and acceptance, receiving and giving affection and love. The forth type is esteem needs such as self-respect and to be respected from others.
Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs Countless psychologists have theorized about human behavior, but few theories have had the impact that Abraham Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs has had. Maslow was looking to explain the motivation behind people’s actions. He developed his theory to represent the needs people need to meet to be comfortable in their living situations. Based on Maslow’s theory, phycologists can determine why people partake in the actions they do. For example, people who do not feel belonging and love as children are more likely to join gangs or other organizations to gain a sense of belonging.
This theory is proposed by Araham Harold Maslow by year 1954. There are 5 different needs in this theory which consists of: Physiological; Safety; Belongingness; Need for esteem and Self-actualization. Maslow believed that a man being motivated by the needs he wants to satisfy. So, the fundamental needs must be satisfy in order to begin motivating behavior (Adiele and Abraham, 2013). 1) Physiological Physiological needs is fundamental and most basic need for human survival.
Five Levels in Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs and How They Influence Us Abraham Maslow, who was an American psychologist created a hierarchy of needs. There are five levels, with the basic needs at the bottom. He explains that if the basic needs are not satisfied we cannot move up the pyramid, despite a few instances (Lilienfeld et al., 2016). The first level is physiological needs which is satisfying hunger, thirst, and fatigue. Physiological needs influence us because if we are not satisfying our hunger, we can lose weight, or be malnourished.
Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. This theory lies on the premise that people can rarely achieve their full potential without having met their basic needs; if the target population lacks of basic needs, any intervention that does not address this particular issue will fail. Maslow’s hierarchy of needs is based on the physiological and psychological needs. Once these needs are covered, we will be able to engage someone to change habits in order to achieve our goals. It is highly important to recognize the target population and their basic needs.
