The \”esteem\” in \”Maslow\’s Hierarchy of Needs\”, represents that all humans have a need to be respected and to have self-esteem and self-respect. This is also known as the belonging need, esteem presents the nominal human desire to be accepted and valued by others. People need to engage themselves to gain recognition and have an active or activities that give the persona sense of contribution, to feel accepted and self-esteem need respect from others. They may seek fame or glory, which again depends on others. Psychological imbalances such as depression can also prevent one from obtaining self-esteem on both levels. Most people have a need for a stable self-respect and self-esteem. Maslow notes two versions of esteem needs, a lower one and a higher one. For example the lower one is the need for the respect of others, the need for status, recognition, fame, prestige, and attention. The higher one is the need for self-respect, the need for strength, competence, mastery, self-confidence, independence and freedom. The latter one ranks higher because it rests more on inner competence won through experience. Deprivation of these needs can lead to an inferiority complex, weakness and helplessness.
