[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 624052, member: 14557"] Too late to edit my post, but Maslow's theory is about what motivates people and was first used also in developmental psychology but has been replaced by attachment theory long time ago. Nowadays it used in management and marketing mostly, also at times in sociology. Of course in everyday sense there seems to be lots of sense, it seems likely that one isn't that interested about poetry, religion, doing the right thing, having loving relationship with their family or things like that, if their basic needs are not met and they are without food, shelter and safety. It seems reasonable that in those circumstances people would focus on getting food, warm and dry bed and so on with less regard to what is right or wrong, how their family thinks or feels or if they look cool or righteous while doing it. And in some level it is true. Desperate times breed desperate deeds. But it is not a fundamental truth and even a street person can at times act lovingly towards for example family members and not for example steal from them just to get food. In fact many do. And they tend to build their own communities and own moral systems, even when living really rough. Things are really not quite desperate and hopeless as Maslow suggests. [/QUOTE]
