Maslow's Hierarchy relating to Night
Maslow's Hierarchy can relate to the book Night because it shows the five human needs. It shows esteem, self-actualization, belonging, safety, and physiological. In the book, the people are are starved, they are beaten, they are sore and tired and they have nothing in them to even fight back. They have physiological needs. Because they are realizing they are unwell and then little else matters until they recover. The people are tired of feeling sick and of course they don't want to die, but they are hopeless and weak. I feel like if you are in a concentration camp, and you have nobody to hold or show emotion to, you will make a friend or two. So, that brings in belonging. All they want is to know someone is there for them. If they are helpful and kind to others, then others will be kind and helpful back. They want to feel safe too. The people just want a roof over their heads at night and to know nothing will happen to them while they sleep, or ever. If they have friends, and the power and courage to be strong then anything is possible, and they will be okay. This shows in the book as well. The people just want to feel safe so they stay with each other, or at least try until they are distanced. Self- actualization is there too because the people know they are capable of becoming. They are capable of getting past the bad and fighting until the end no matter what. Esteem shows too because in the book they know, then if people respect them, they will have greater power to press forward and stay strong. Maslow's Hierarchy and Night relate very much.
