Basic Human Needs


The similitary of these two theories are saying the human needs from the low to higher stage. Maslow and Max Neef stated all the human need from the physiological needs then move to the next stage which are safety, love, esteem and self-actualization. Basically, they said that human need food, water, air for survive. After adapted all the survival requirements, human also need belonging need, safety need... However, there are differences in these two theories.


Maslow, in an order, covers all of the most simple human needs that we can easily think of  in this table



Max divided the human needs a little different from Maslow's one and went more details than Maslow. He still got the physiological need, safety need and belonging need but he lacked out the esteem one and cover with two new needs which is understanding and identity. Moreover, he also split the the self-actualization into four other needs: creation, idleness, freedom and participation.


In my opinion, I prefer Maslow's one because he got all the basic need cover. Max confused me with the new levels he add to that didn't seem to go from the low to high.
