LESSON

Everyone motivates to work hard to meet their needs and wants. It

encourage us to be productive in every endeavour that we do to help us
provide with our basic and social needs. But what is the difference between
basic and social needs?

Basic Needs are the things people required in order to survive and
sustain daily living. These are:
 Food – It is important need of the body. There is a need of
sufficient amount of food in order to meet the demands of
energy of individual.

 Shelter – It is the place where we live. It is our protection

from sun, flood, storm, wind and etc.

 Clothing – It is absolutely necessary for everybody as it is a

protection to the body.

 Water – People need water to sustain their body. We use

water for drinking, washing, cleaning, cooking and
watering plants.

 Clean Air – It is necessary for the body to breathe. Without

clean air, there is no life.
  Education – It is the other need of life. It teaches us
methods how to live in various situation. People who
deprived from education find it difficult to surpass trying
times, so, education is a basic need in life.
Social Needs, on the other hand, are the things needed that can’t be
physically felt or seen such as:

 Love – It is the feeling of closeness and bonding created

from family, friends, peers and other people.

 Safety - These needs include the security of body, of

employment, of resources, of morality of family, and of
health.

 Acceptance – It refers to the need of belongingness and

inclusion in a group of people.

Social needs also give us sense of fulfilment and self-actualization in

doing sports, celebrations, travels and leisure.
