The document summarizes Abraham Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs theory, which proposes that people are motivated to fulfill basic needs before moving on to other needs. The hierarchy ranges from physiological needs at the bottom like food and shelter, to safety, love and belonging, esteem, and self-actualization at the top. Maslow believed people are motivated to achieve higher needs once lower needs are met.
