The document outlines 7 basic human drives and needs: 1. The need for security (material, emotional, spiritual). This includes material/economic security as well as emotional security from stable relationships. 2. The need to belong to a group. Stories about other cultures can increase understanding of different groups. 3. The need to love and be loved. This is a very strong human need, and when not fulfilled in one way people will find substitutes, such as through family, pets, or fictional romantic relationships. 4. The need to achieve and do something worthwhile, such as overcoming obstacles or helping others. 5. The need to know and gain intellectual security through learning.
