Some interesting definitions of NEED!
A need is as a psychological feature that arouses an organism to action toward a goal and the reason for the action - Wiki
One of the problems with a psychological theory of needs is that conceptions of "need" may vary radically between different cultures or different parts of the same society. One person's view of need may easily be seen seen as paternalistic by another. - Wiki
It might be said that an individual's needs are represent the costs of being human within society. A person who does not have his or her needs fulfilled -- i.e., a "needy" person -- will function poorly in society. -Professor Ian Gough
Fulfilling needs - Adequate nutritional food and water, adequate protective housing, a safe environment for working, a safe physical environment, appropriate health care, security in childhood, significant primary relationships with others, physical security, economic security, safe birth control and child-bearing, and appropriate basic and cross-cultural education. - Gough and Doyal
Those with more internal "assets" (education, sanity, physical strength, etc.) have more capabilities and are more able to escape or avoid poverty. Those with more capabilities fulfill more of their needs.- Amartya Sen and Martha Nussbaum.
Marshall Rosenberg's model of Compassionate Communication also known as Nonviolent Communication (NVC)[1] makes the distinction between universal human needs (what sustains and motivates human life) and specific strategies used to meet these needs. In contrast to Maslow, Rosenberg's model does not place needs in a hierarchy.[2] In this model, feelings are seen as indicators of when human needs are met or unmet. One of the intended outcomes of Rosenberg's model is to support humans in developing an awareness of what life-sustaining needs are arising within them and others moment by moment so that they may more effectively and compassionately find strategies to meet their own needs as well as contribute to meeting the needs of others.
