Abraham Maslow argued that survival needs must be satisfied before the individual can satisfy the higher needs. 

Hierarchy of Needs

Biological and physiological needs – air, food, drink, shelter, warmth, sex, sleep, etc.
Safety needs – protection from elements, security, order, law, stability, freedom from fear.
Love and belongingness needs – friendship, intimacy, trust, and acceptance, receiving and giving affection and love. Affiliating, being part of a group (family, friends, work).
Esteem needs – which Abraham Maslow classified into two categories: (i) esteem for oneself (dignity, achievement, mastery, independence) and (ii) the need to be accepted and valued by others (e.g., status, prestige).
Cognitive needs – knowledge and understanding, curiosity, exploration, need for meaning and predictability.
Aesthetic needs – appreciation and search for beauty, balance, form, etc.
Self-actualization needs – realizing personal potential, self-fulfillment, seeking personal growth, and peak experiences.
Transcendence needs – A person is motivated by values that transcend beyond the personal self. Examples of transcendence needs include mystical experiences and certain experiences with nature, aesthetic experiences, sexual experiences, service to others, the pursuit of science, religious faith, etc.
