1- Which need in Maslow’s OR Hari’s List of Human Needs is most important to you? Why?Which is most elusive or frustrated? Why?As a Designer, how could you design something that supports that need? This can be natural, digital, or a combination.
For me, my most important need is the one my group discussed – Hope for a secure future. This one is also the most frustrating, but it is the one I think about most often. As we discussed, it is hard to picture a future with a secure job and a nice home due to the costs of everything nowadays. I even think of my cousin. He is saving up for a house with his wife, but they can’t afford one while paying for an apartment, so they are living with my aunt and uncle. They are only 25, but it does worry me slightly for my future because, respectfully, that isn’t something I want for my future. I am thankful to have my parents and to live at my parents’ house, but I don’t want to after college for long. Something that does make things easier is having a house to live in while I figure out my future. Living at my parents’ house allows me to make money while living somewhere for free, so I can hopefully save up enough to be able to afford my own place comfortably. Unfortunately, I cannot do anything to change the economy, but I can do things to help myself.
