Maslow defined a Hierarchy of Human Needs that stated the lower needs must be met before an individual can strive to meet the higher needs.Our purpose in observing Maslow’s theory is to juxtapose it with the characters we have observed in Midaq. Does Maslow’s theory regarding the hierarchy of human needs apply to the inhabitants of the alley? Or is it geared towards a Western audience? Does Midaq operate under its own hierarchy of needs given the cultural, historical, and political implications? YOU DECIDE.

When defense mechanisms are inadequate, stress reactions develop:

Chronic complaining and demanding behavior

Agitation with manipulative behavior Restlessness Sleeplessness Depression Withdrawal
