Second floor, everybody down!
Well, ate well, drank well, poof, the lift needs up to the second floor. Welcome to the realm of security needs. I would however make a distinction as to the affirmation that as long as a need is not met, it is impossible to move inside the pyramid. It would be more accurate to say that although consciousness is dominated by a need to lower level, this need not necessarily occupy the whole of consciousness. This is especially true when a person has accessed if only once at a higher level of the pyramid.
the second floor of the Maslow pyramid, are the needs for security. Protection from the elements with a roof over their head, to preserve his safety and that of his family, know that we will have a job tomorrow, we will come to pay their accounts at the end of the month, in short, can make a list infinite needs related to security.
Now a brief overview of our industrialized society we can without a shadow of a doubt to observe, especially since 2001, a thinly veiled incitement media insecurity.
Friends of Quack had, in 2003, a content analysis of television news. You can do the same thing today. At that time, only 31% of six-hour newscast of Radio Canada, contained relevant information, and in this number, the analyst had included the topos on street gangs and other miscellaneous biased. 28%, almost equivalent, was devoted to the murders and accidents. Do I make you a drawing or a long explanation of classical conditioning , initiated by Ivan Pavlov? It seems clear that bombard the public with images and sounds associated with fear can only reinforce a sense of insecurity. But hey, a drawing:
This leads me to several questions about the relevance of information.
What do I need to know: "What
a murder took place somewhere?
"What we suspect a dozen strangers (without charge) to plan a terrorist attack?
-The effect of certain radioactive materials if they were used in a dirty bomb? What
-two (or more) cars were returned in, no matter where?
-What I have a 18 million chance of being struck by lightning?
"What a madman killed one person and injured 10 others in a school?
"What a person 100 years died of the flu?
For example, I just read that, following the abduction of the little Cédrika, 20 000 parents had their children file by the police and the Child Foundation trip. It gives me a strange feeling. There is not there something fundamentally disturbing to file its citizens in a democratic society, even ostensibly for their safety? According to La Presse,
"In 2006, 86% of 7317 children reported missing in Quebec were found in less than seven days. Most of the other are still missing the call. The cases of stranger abduction is not that 1% of disappearances. "
My question: Should we as a society begin to be afraid because 73 children (including thousands of runaway teenagers), so approximately one hundred thousandth of the population, disappear? Should we file all Montrealers because 50 people a year are kill?
Somewhere in beautiful offices, with a minibar, a closet cigar and appetizers, we decided to play Pavlov's dog with us. Which brings me to the effect Pounette. In fact, it is surely a different name, but it is an experience that I saw with my cats, Pounette. Chaque fois qu'un évènement lui fait peur, même un petit sursaut de rien, Pounette fait quoi, vous croyez? Direction: the food dish.
On the other hand, from the time she runs away and when she goes Fried Chow, Pounette remains motionless for a while, waiting to see if everything was blurred. We speak here of Inhibition of action.
So, after a fear, there is first Inhibition action then consumption.
Considering our society, we see that, firstly, we leave to others (government, teachers, media, religion, film critics and others) regulate the care of the good and the bad and simplify the possible choices, and inhibition of action against the community, we pass to the act of eating as an individual or family unit. It seems at first sight, an effective and balancing. But, as we carburons insecurity, we remain caught on the 2nd floor.
Now imagine in what state a person who does not have enough money for housing / paying its obligations, and which, moreover, can not afford to consume. According to information available to me at that time in nine months, a person who falls on welfare begins to develop mental health problems. The consumption of Ritalin for children whose parents are welfare is exploding. Absenteeism (burnout and other) people (middle class) who has to manage these clients in trouble is also exploding. It do not ring bells? Are you starting to see the black cloud?
