It is interesting, since Maslow's pyramid is applied in marketing and in other cases of mass manipulation

I wasn't aware of that until you mentioned it @buhodehope but I can definitely see why Marketing Specialists would use Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs to attract clients & customers.

I think the lower levels of Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs is the "low hanging fruit".

Not only that, chrisrice, because with this pyramid many governments have manipulated thousands of people over time, some without knowing them and others with all the intention of the world

What you are saying is that Governments studied human psychology, and used their research and understanding (i.e. Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs) to exploit and manipulate their citizens. @buhodehope.

Exactly, not only that, because we all use this Maslow pyramid unconsciously, think of:

  • The bad series or realitis of tv
  • Policies that promise easy security without saying How will they do it?
  • Merchants giving you false advertising
  • The news when talking to you about how you should support such a thing because it will bring you security

Children also use this but at a much less studied level.
