Read the following chapter in your text:

· Chapter 10: “Motivation & Emotion”

Your unit reading this week will cover the interesting concepts of motivation and emotion. A famous theory of human motivation, Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs will be covered. Concepts such as hunger motivations, as well as the basic human need to belong will be considered.

Your post should be at least 200–250 words in length and should extend the discussion of the group supported by your course materials and/or other appropriate resources.

In this unit, you are further examining human motivations and emotions. Abraham Maslow, a well-known humanist, attempted to illustrate human motivations through his famous Hierarchy of Needs. After studying this theory, consider the importance of these stages of needs and why some can be more difficult than others for people. Consider human emotions and how they affect us individually and socially.

· After reading about Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, choose one of his six levels to discuss further.

· Explain what kinds of things can get in the way of people passing through that level.

· How can human emotions affect this?

· Describe how theories of motivation and emotion can help you understand why people think and behave in the way that they do.

You MUST include a credit (an in-text citation and end of post full reference) for the course materials (and any other source you use) in your posts.  Please strive to use proper APA formatting for your sources in order to earn full credit for that aspect of the grading rubric.  I will be modeling APA formatting in my replies to you... please start using APA formatting for the sources you used...
