SOCS 325 Week 3 Discussion: Maslow s Hierarchy of Needs

Document Content and Description Below

Week 3 Discussions - Topic 3: Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs (Required) After reading and analyzing Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs pyramid, I would say I am mainly in pursuit of fulfilling my basic needs... while being mindful of my talents and incorporating self-actualization in the process. People on my job call me the “coupon junkie”, which to me is a prized name. I believe in saving money at all angle, if I am able to, so I constantly clip coupons for groceries, personal needs, Macy’s and I sometimes search online for places that offer discount when I order in or a discount to make a larger online purchase. Once my basic needs are met and everything else between, I start to self-actualize by being on the road to completing my BA in Business after being out of school for 16 years. As Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs indicate my self-actualization involves a strong sense of purpose and self-awareness in making sure my basic needs are met while at the same time acquiring the necessary academic skills to achieve career fulfillment. I endeavor to reach the highest in my academics and even though it is taking me a while to get there I eventually will, because of the anticipated growth in the industry where I currently work.
