Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs is the positive psychology theory or concept which was observed in The Blind Side movie. It is about the five basic human needs that have been exhibited in the shape of a pyramid. These needs must be met with the end goal for individuals to feel fulfilled in life.

Second, those in which a person attempts to change the situation where caused the stress and the last are those that just seek to avoid the problem.
