MASLOW'S HIERARCHY OF NEEDS THEORY

Hello, this is  Rusty Keeble with the Gang Enforcement Company; welcome to this Gang Enforcement  Training Byte - today's topic is this ---------- 

Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs

By joining a gang, youths fill a void or satisfy a need in their lives. This can be explained with Abraham Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs Theory. “We each have a hierarchy of needs that ranges from lower to higher. As lower needs are fulfilled there is a tendency for other, higher needs to emerge.” Maslow’s theory maintains that a person does not feel a higher need until the needs of the current level are satisfied.

The external needs include:

• Physiological – food, air, water, clothing and sex
• Safety – protection, stability, pain avoidance, routine and order
• Belonging – affection, acceptance and inclusion
• Esteem – self-esteem, self-respect, respect of others and respect by others
• ​Self-Actualization – achieve full potential and achievement

​The internal needs include:

• Self-confidence
• Love
• Health
• As well as, emotional and spiritual security

​Two things can result when these needs are not met:

• The price they pay: youth join a gang to receive the basic needs of love, supervision, spiritual guidance, etc.
• What they do to other people: they gain “respect” showing how brave or tough they are by physically harming or killing another person.
