Maslow's Hierarchy

Maslow was a person who was trying to figure out what people need. In order to figure this out, he had to use a hierarchy, which is basically like a list where you order things in descending order.

How did Maslow figure out what people need?  He did ingenious experiments on dogs.  The exerpeimnts involved teaching a dog how to ring a bell and drool when it wanted something to eat.  Thus, whenever the dog was drooling, Maslow knew it wanted something to eat.  Using these results, Maslow was able to determine what people need.  If he really wanted to be accurate, Maslow should have used people in his experiments, but people were too smart to be tricked into drooling for food.  Maslow attempted to use babies at first, but found that the babies were constantly drooling whether they were hungry or not, thus the experiments were a failure and dogs were the only other option.

So Maslow determined that the most imnportant human emotion was hungry.  The next most important was anger, then frustration, and finally accidents.  This is just a list, but Maslow put it in descending order with numbers, so it was a hierarchy:

            4.Hunger
            3.Anger
            2.Rage
            1.Fury

Today, psychologists still wonder what the point of Maslow's hierarchy is, because as far as anyone can tell, it has absolutely no practical use whatsoever.
