Maslow's Needs Vs. Mine

I can't say that I entirely agree with the way that Maslow built his pyramid. I would probably rearange a few things to better fit what a think a person needs to survive. But, if I was to put myself on this pyramid, i would say that I was in the process of working my way up to the esteem level. I have most of the things that are included in the lower level of the pyramid, but am not quite complete on the esteem level. I think to gain respect you have to work hard and respect others. I don't see myself at this point in life, but I am working hard to get there.

Just to put this personal opinion in here at the last, I would like to say that i greatly look down upon Maslow's idea of sex as a need. I think it is more of a want than anything and that it does not need to be on his chart. I think that justifying sex as a need makes you weak.

Why The Heck Are We Here?

I think it's as easy as this. If when the principle has trouble driving to school, she should know that everyone else is going to have the same. I understand that there are only so many days that we can take off from school each year, but at the same time, the Arenzville bridge is almost suicide when it's iced over. To be completely honest, I don't know if it's worse coming up or going down. I hate to have to think what it is like for the people with two wheel drive vehicles. I had my truck in four wheel drive this morning and i still put it into a ditch. If you ask me, I'd say the reason this school is here is to teach the students correct? So if students wreck on the way to school and get hurt because of administration's failure to call it off, what are you teaching? It's called responsibility. When a student wrecks because of bad conditions on the way to somewhere they are forced to go, that in no way is there fault. That is on the administration. I guess it will be this way until the time comes that a student is seriously injured. When that time comes, don't say I didn't try and warn you.
