Ok, so this is going to seem like school for a little bit, but it is really important that we all understand this. It really is what makes us as humans tick. The basis of this
lessons originates from the studies of a pyschologist, Abraham Maslow. Some of you may know who is others may not. Either way, let's delve right into how he interperets our needs
as human beings.

The concept behind this tutorial is Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs. What he did was specifically identify and describe the five basic needs that humans need. They are presented in this
order -

1. Physiological Needs
2. Security Needs
3. Social Needs
4. Esteem Needs
5. Self-Actualizing Needs

Now, let's break down each need and how it applies to us. Get a pen and paper because this is going to be fun!
