i want to do paraphrase

Maslow’s Hierarchy was established by psychologist Abraham Maslow in his paper “A Theory of Human Motivation” written in 1943, and then fully expressed in his book Motivation and Personality (Cherry, 2014). In the book, Business, it states that Maslow’s Hierarchy is a theory that arranges the five basic needs of people, which are physiological, security, social, esteem, and self-actualization, into the order in which people strive to satisfy them (O.C.Ferell, Hirt, L.Ferell, 2013). According to Maslow, the first basic need is physiological needs. These are basic life essentials such as water, food and shelter. Security needs are next and they relate to being protected physically and economically. Social needs are about making friendships and being open to try new things. After social needs are met, Esteem needs can be fulfilled by having self-respect and respect from others. This need is not as easily met as the other needs because it does not always have solid proof of evidence that the other needs do. They have to be realized by the person thru different things such as being rewarded or realizing the increase of involvement in a specific activity. After the Esteem need is met, then the final need of Self-actualization can be met. This need is found at the top of Maslow’s Hierarchy. This is the major goal of an individual in their lifetime because the self-actualization need is about improving yourself. In order to improve, a person has to be feeling happy, knowing that they are doing the best for themselves and they are living their life to the fullest. Maslow believed that low-level needs needed to be satisfied before higher-level needs could be satisfied. This is because they all accumulate to help the next level. For example, if you do not have a home then you are struggling with the physiological need and therefore do not care much for making friends with a co-worker and spending time with them to make a friendship, which would be social needs. This is something that I can relate too thru a personal experience. Last summer, I was working over 60 hours a week, while taking two courses at my local community college. I needed to be working to save up money to be able to pay my bills when I returned to Ellensburg in the fall as a full-time student with minimal work. I did not care much for hanging out with my friends because I knew that time wasted was another problem that could arise once I was back in Ellensburg by myself. Maslow’s Hierarchy is an interesting topic to study because it can be applied to a lot of different life scenarios because of the five different levels. Some levels are personal, while other levels are about work. The pyramid also helps create a great visual for understanding the different needs.

Conclusion

The Myers-Brigs Type Indicator, “The Big Five,” Emotional Intelligence and Maslow’s Hierarchy were all things that I had heard very little bit about, if anything, before this course and now I can say that I feel more educated in the area of leadership. Having the results from my MBTI has been very helpful when explaining my characteristics because I now have better knowledge of words and phrases that I can use. These are things that I can use when writing scholarship papers, course papers, and resumes. Having more knowledge on Emotional Intelligence is also helpful because I know what areas I need to work on in order to become a better leader. Maslow’s Hierarchy is of great significance to me because I can relate to it personally. I truly do believe that each lower level needs to be satisfied in order to reach a higher level of need. I hope that through my experience the next few years, I become better at my weakness and can balance my skills to be a great leader wherever I go.
