Maslow's Hierarchy of needs updates!

Hey guys, guess what this is! This is Maslow's updated "hierarchy of needs" since the 1990s, with 3 new additions: Cognitive needs, Aesthetic needs, and Transcendence.

As you know Maslow said that needs must be satisfied in the given order and he has made some additions to the hierarchy either through more reflection and examination of the human race or as a reaction to evolving social cultures that have put more importance to additional needs such as Aesthetics.

Either way, his addition choices are quite interesting, particularly, transcendence which is the need to help others reach their self actualization the altruistic need.

Take a look at this link for further explanations of the 3.
