Does our physical body require shelter? Or Clothing?

Answer- No. it does not, depending on the climate. So why do you think shelter or clothing is required for our survival?

can you tell me how its not important for our survival?

am I missing something here?

and yes it does depends on the climate.

Would fire be considered essential?

not nessesarily, but it makes life alot easier.

ahhhhhhh you are refering to Love/Belonging needs

well we Humans want to be accepted and to belong, whether it be to clubs, work groups, religious groups, family etc. We need to feel loved (sexually and non-sexually) by others, and to be accepted by them. People also have a constant desire to feel needed. In the absence of these elements, people become increasingly susceptible to loneliness, social anxiety and depression.

theres also status or esteem needs.

Humans have a need to be respected, to self-respect and to respect others. People need to engage themselves in order to gain recognition and have an activity or activities that give the person a sense of contribution and self-value, be it in a profession or hobby(FISHKEEPING!!!). Imbalances at this level can result in low self-esteem, inferiority complexes, an inflated sense of self-importance or snobbishness. There are two levels to Esteem needs. The lower of the levels relates to elements like fame, respect, and glory (lol, thats you neal). The higher level is contingent to concepts like confidence, competence, and achievement. The lower level is generally considered poor. It is dependent upon other people, or someone who needs to be reassured because of lower esteem. People with low esteem need respect from others. They may seek fame or glory, which again are dependent on others. However confidence, competence and achievement only need one person and everyone else is inconsequential to ones own success.

go a step higher and you have being needs which is reach your fullest potential,m (in short)

Self-actualization is the instinctual need of humans to make the most of their unique abilities and to strive to be the best they can be. Maslow describes self-actualization as follows

They embrace the facts and realities of the world (including themselves) rather than denying or avoiding them. They are spontaneous in their ideas and actions. They are creative. They are interested in solving problems; this often includes the problems of others. Solving these problems is often a key focus in their lives. They feel a closeness to other people, and generally appreciate life. They have a system of morality that is fully internalized and independent of external authority. They judge others without prejudice, in a way that can be termed objective. In short, self-actualization is reaching your fullest potential.

I see some one did some research, which is exactly what I wanted to happen.


Now tell me. What is "needed" to Live in this mondern day and age?

Are "wants" really needs, just with different purposes?

Could the overlooked meaning of todays stereotypical "needs" actually mean, "physical" needs?

And todays "Wants" are acually "mental" needs?

If you dont consider fire essential, then why consider clothing or shelter essential?

We are well adapted naturally to living in a warm climate without any form of shelter or clothing.

It is when you travel out of our "native land" that shelter and clothing become "needs".

putting away extremes, i can now see what you mean

but even in this mild climate i live in

i still like a nice a nice air conditioned house during summer

and a nice jacket during winter

not essential, but who doesnt like to be comfortable?

 

[PeacockBass]

comfortability is a mental need. which doesnt play into the concept of "needs for survival".

although it is a "need for living"



Now, next time anyone tells you "you dont need that!" you can pwn their ass intellectually.

good work delgado.

all boils down to money

Are "wants" really needs, just with different purposes?

i suppose

i see it like this

cars

having a certain car (im no car person, but something thats really expensive, and wanted by many people) that you want may bring you respect from others (Status /Esteem needs) because you have something or done something they admire that they dont have or maybe a sense of accomplishment because you worked so hard to achieve this.

Could the overlooked meaning of todays stereotypical "needs" actually mean, "physical" needs?

not sure what you mean

And todays "Wants" are acually "mental" needs?

correct

my ipod is one example, I never leave home (to school) without it

if i didnt have it id feel weird

although it is a "need for living"

then fire should falls into that catagory too.
