Abstract
The paper introduces Abraham Maslow, the psychologist who made sense of the astonishing array of human motives by arranging them in a pyramid known as the "Hierarchy of Needs." The paper explores how the "Hierarchy of Needs" was integrated into the advertizing world of the 1950s. It also examines ten advertisements and discusses how Maslow's hierarchy is a part of each one.
From the Paper
"Advertisers started to attach emotional values, such as friendship and status, to products around the nineteen-fifties, using what they learned in psychology class. This emotional attachment is affixed to the product by building semi-conscious and subconscious impressions, or an atmosphere, around the product to create the impression that acquisition and consumption equate to good health, success, exultation, enchantment, moral righteousness, ethical certainty, trust, faith, superiority, coolness, freedom, liberty, self-esteem, confidence, democracy, and numerous other similar emotions and ideas. Three preeminent advertising techniques which apply Abraham Maslow?s hierarchy of needs to their advantage are the bandwagon, emotional, and fear techniques. The emotional attachment technique portrays images and ideas that appeal to certain emotions of the consumer. These ads imply that only by means of purchasing the product will he or she be able to satiate these emotions. The bandwagon technique in advertising, which suggests it is second nature to purchase that particular product, was predominant in the fifties. This class of ads suggests that without that product, life would be dysfunctional and unpleasant, and not all of the consumer?s needs would be met. The fear technique utilizes Maslow?s hierarchy , to "...suggest to the consumer that not purchasing a certain product would be disastrous to them...(Lane and Russell 13)", in that not all of their needs according to the hierarchy would be met. However, to what extent is Maslow?s hierarchy of needs integrated into advertisements from the decade in which the hierarchy was actually unveiled?"

Abstract
This paper explains that the hierarchy of needs theory, created by Abraham Maslow in 1943, states that human beings are constantly in pursuit of needs of which there are five fundamental types. These five types are arranged in a pyramid with the base being physiological need, continuing to safety, love, esteem and finally to the top that is self-actualization. The author stresses that there is no definitive threshold where one need leaves off and the next level activates; instead, needs are filled partially or proportionally resulting in each level of the hierarchy being fulfilled to some extent. The paper relates that each student is an individual human being with his or her own particular set of needs, which varies drastically from student to student and is influenced by a variety of socio-economic factors.
From the Paper
"The esteem needs of the students pertains to their self-image and the respect garnered from peers. There is an important distinction here from the need to belong. The need to belong represents the need to be part of the group, while the esteem needs represent the need to have prestige or status within the group. While everybody feels the need to belong, they also want to feel that they are an important part of the group, that they are needed and respected for their personal capabilities. As a teacher, I am presented with an opportunity to fulfill this need."

Abstract
This paper defines Abraham Maslow?s hierarchy of needs theory. It also analyzes the fictitious organization, Parcel Delivery Corporation (PDC). It applies Maslow?s theory to the Parcel Delivery Corporation and identifies the motivation processes involved.
From the Paper
"In the late 1960s Abraham Maslow developed a hierarchical theory of human needs. Maslow was a humanistic psychologist who believed that people are not controlled by mechanical forces (the stimuli and reinforcement forces of behaviorism) or unconscious instinctual impulses alone. He focused on human potential, believing that human beings strive to reach the highest levels of their capabilities. Maslow set up a hierarchical theory of needs in which all the basic needs are at the bottom, and the needs concerned with man’s highest potential are at the top. The hierarchic theory is often represented as a pyramid, with the larger, lower levels representing the lower needs, and the upper point representing the need for self-actualization."

Abstract
This paper describes how Maslow's "Hierarchy of Needs" can be used to classify and quantify the basic needs of human beings in a way that allows commentators, as well as managers and employees alike, to assess these needs in terms of motivation, leadership, and teamwork in an organization.
From the Paper
"Maslow's basic premise is that there are quantifiable human needs that can be categorized in a hierarchy of order of importance versus order of fulfillment necessity. That is, at the bottom of the hierarchy, the human needs exist that must be fulfilled for survival and physical comfort, whereas at the top of the hierarchy, the human needs exist
that are more abstract and difficult to achieve, such as self-esteem and self-actualization. These needs are seen as being universal."

Abstract
The paper relates Abraham Maslow's background and examines the theory he proposed in his 1943 paper, "A Theory of Human Motivation." The paper explains his theory which contends that as humans meet basic needs, they seek to satisfy successively higher needs that occupy a set hierarchy. Maslow proposed that all people seek to satisfy five basic needs: physiological needs, safety needs, social needs, esteem needs and self-actualization needs. The paper is of the opinion that Maslow's theory is a common sense approach to human behavior. The paper discusses how his research shows there is a motivator for each need and it is these motivators that pushes one through the hierarchy of needs pyramid.

From the Paper
"Maslow's original studies and research while at University of Wisconsin were investigating primate dominance behavior. He performed further research and similar studies at Columbia University. From 1937 to 1951 Maslow was on the faculty at Boston College and while in New York was mentored by anthropologist Ruth Benedict and Gestalt psychologist Max Wertheimer. Maslow so looked up to these people that he began taking notes about them and their behavior. "This would be the basis for his lifelong study and thinking about mental health and human potential""

Abstract
This paper assesses Abraham Maslow's theory of human needs and its application to a wide variety of fields. The paper provides a detailed review of Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs theory, explaining that it addresses the fulfilment of the five basic human psychological needs. The paper briefly defines and provides examples of these needs, which are physiological, security, social, esteem and self-actualization. Next, the paper discusses the application of Maslow's theory to three fields: (1) education, to motivate students and to explain student behavior; (2) business, to shape policies regarding motivation, compensation, job satisfaction and job development and (3) marketing, to explain consumer behavior and to develop relevant sales strategies.
From the Paper
"Abraham Maslow was the leading psychologist in the development of humanistic psychology, which he labeled the "Third Force" and conceived as a reaction against the first force of psychoanalytic psychology and the second force of behaviorism. Maslow did not reject either Freud or behaviorism, but he did find that both models of psychology were incomplete and inadequate, and he spoke of himself as "epi-Freudian" and "epi-behavioristic," showing that he intended to build upon and add to the foundations of the previous psychologies. Beginning in the 1930s, Maslow began to focus on certain psychological problems that could not be answered within the scope of a "behavioristic," "value-free," and "mechanomorphic" psychology (Moss, 1994, p. 24)."

Abstract
This paper examines Maslow's theory of a hierarchy of human physical, emotional, and social needs. It shows how he wrote that human beings are motivated by unsatisfied needs and how the promise of fulfilling unfulfilled needs is what primarily drives human beings into action. This theory is analyzed in context of a salesperson's job.
From the Paper
"The salesperson's calling is also based upon needs, as in "I need to make a living and earn 'y' amount of dollars, therefore I will sell you 'x.'" However, the relationship of a salesperson on commission is even more needs based than perhaps some other professions. On the most basic and elemental of levels, the salesman or woman is motivated by his or her physiological needs-the need to eat, the need to feel warm, to buy clothes-all of which require a salary. The salesman will sell homes via the mortgage company to facilitate a buyer's own physical needs to have a kitchen to eat and store food, to feel warm in a residence, or to have a place to stay to weather the elements. Thus selling mortgages fulfills the prime, first, core base of the psychologist Abraham Maslow's hierarchy of human needs."

Abstract
This paper defines this theory by Maslow and examines its importance to American businesses today. Maslow?s theory of hierarchy of needs discusses the hierarchy and satisfaction of various human needs and how people pursue these needs. This theory is used by human resource managers to motivate their employees.
From the Paper
"These theories are fully applicable in today?s work setting. As far as the matter of the applicability of these theories to hospital employees is concerned, one should first identify as to whether a hospital employee fits the profile of an average business employee? Does he respond to the same motivator patterns as identified by Maslow? Does he possess the same hierarchy of needs as possessed by an average business employee?"

Abstract
This paper examines why the New York Times banned cigarette advertising. The writer discusses how the banning of tobacco ads reduces the pressures on children to take up smoking and leaves room for advertisements warning the readers against the dangers of smoking. In addition the way in which banning of these ads may prevent nonsmokers who buy The New York Times, from involuntarily contributing to the tobacco industry, is also discussed.
From the Paper
"Little by little, cigarette advertising has been disappearing from American newspapers and magazines. This trend began more than two years ago when the first national newspaper, The New York Times, officially banned tobacco advertising. At the same time, local newspapers such as the Seattle Times and Portland Organdie copied the national newspaper."

Abstract
Advertising has long been associated with unreasonable claims, in fact, we have come to expect them. Advertisements quite often imply qualities about the products and people within the context of the ad that are simply impossible. Over the long-term, our culture has grown to accept advertisements as a fiction into which we are drawn for 30 seconds. During that time, the viewer suspends disbelief because of the formula at play and simply accepts the fiction that surrounds the product. In the realm of diet advertising, however, such fictions have turned out to be potentially dangerous or even deadly. Diet product and diet advertising has long made irrational claims about enormous changes in the body over impossibly short periods of time. Research shows that the level of false advertising in commercials for diets and diet products is staggeringly high. The FTC found that 55 percent of weight-loss ads make claims that lack proof or very likely are false (Eggerton, 2002). In fact, this problem has been ongoing since one of the first false-advertising in diet commercials claims was made; in 1993, the Federal Trade Commission charged that five of the nation's largest commercial diet-program companies have misled consumers by making unsubstantiated weight-loss claims and by using deceptive testimonials ("FTC Accuses Five Diet Programs of Deceptive Advertising", 1993; Cordes, 1993). It is proposed that research will demonstrate that the effect of false advertising (and thus false expectations) about diets and diet products has resulted in a greater health crisis in relation to weight than ever before.

Abstract
This paper compares magazine advertising of the 1920s and 1930s with magazine ads of the 1990s in the way each portrays contemporary views of race and gender in America. Advertising has always represented a mirror on society, sometimes reflecting the newest trends but more often showing the way that society sees itself at the time.
From the Paper
"This paper compares magazine advertising of the 1920s and 1930s with magazine ads of the 1990s in the way each portrays contemporary views of race and gender in America. Advertising has always represented a mirror on society, sometimes reflecting the newest trends but more often showing the way that society sees itself at the time. During the 1920s, magazine advertising first became a major advertising tool, and its colorful pictures and even more colorful copy reflect the brash, loud confidence of a nation that had just won its first world war. The ads of the time reflect the growing independence women were experiencing, as they gained the right to vote and began to do in public what they had never before dared - smoking cigarettes, showing their legs, traveling on their own. The ads also reflect the continued subservience of blacks and other minorities; when they appeared.."
