Question

An individual who wants to buy a home in an expensive neighborhood with a low crime rate is satisfying which need?

Answer 1

This define perfectly the esteem need of Maslow need Hierarchy theory as you have mentioned about buying a home in an expensive neighborhood with a low crime rate, one can easily think of esteem need because as you said neighborhood with low crime rate which is above the safety needs of need hierarchy, and you have used word expensive, one can easily think of esteem needs as he/she is concerned about status or getting recognition having desire to live in expensive neighborhood.

Is it fine?

Answer 2

Answer:

The individual is satisfying his safety needs.

Explanation:

• Abraham Maslow recognised the need for safety as a fundamental human need in his "Hierarchy of Needs" theory.
• The second tier of Maslow's hierarchy is made up of needs for safety, which include the security of one's body, of one's job, of one's resources, of one's family's morality, and of one's health.
• All animals have a basic desire for safety, but unlike other animals and early humans, we no longer hide from predators that are chasing us down for food.
• Despite this, safety is still crucial, and our activities are no less carefully planned to ensure our survival.
• For instance, if we learn from reviews that a car's air bag won't deploy in an accident or that the seatbelts are broken, we won't buy it.

The individual is looking out for his safety.
