Abraham Maslow
If you deliberately plan on being less than you are capable of being, then I warn you that you'll be unhappy for the rest of your life. -Abraham Maslow
Maslow

A little about Maslows history
Feild Of Research
In Maslows early life he experiemented with baby monkeys to gather information on attachment behaviour. While researching with monkeys he noticed that some needs are more important than others. e.g if you are hungry and thirsty you will take care of your thirst first. He did branch off into human sexuality in his late career.
Contribution to the social science

Abraham Maslow contributed many things including his creation of the now famous hierachy of needs. This consisted of air,water,food,and sex which was then put into five layers of the pyramid: the physiological needs, the needs for safety and security, the needs for love and belonging, the needs for esteem, and the need to actualize the self ,all in order.
How Maslow furthered the discipline in psychology
Abraham also used a story of a man being eaten by a whale to illustrate people who were unwilling to take risks. The tale is still known and popular to psychologists today.
Conclusion
Abraham Maslows theory of certain needs to be more important than other needs has been acknowledged around the world as a theory for many things such as for motivation,to implace order and control in the work place and much more. Even though as years pass with more flaws being found with his idea, the hierarchy of needs is still the most well known and recognized theory to date within the social science feild.
