Question 3.

It is agreed that psychology is critical to understanding human behavior as it is the

science of behavior, cognition, and emotions. However, it is not taught to everyone
because people are often reluctant to study psychology as they believe it’s only
related to people with mental illness. Given the mandate of the course, some
people are not mentally capable of studying this doctrine, and the market is already
saturated with psychologists, which can deter people from studying the discipline
as they do not see it as providing value for money.

Question 8

The Maslow Hierarchy of Needs theory speaks of motivation through human

needs. Those needs are physiological; safety; love; belonging; esteem; and self-
actualization. This theory is used in all sectors of society because it forms the basis
of motivating a human being, as it provides for basic needs such as food and water,
leading to self-fulfillment. The theory helps us to understand, evaluate, and
improve human well-being regardless of socio-economic background,
demographic background, religion, culture, and others. It improves feelings of
illness, anxiety, psychological trauma, loneliness, appreciation, self-confidence,
depression, and cynicism, among others.
