For the film Cast Away, identify how the main character moves through each level of the hierarchy of needs. Prepare an assessment paper on how the character in the movie applied Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. The assessment should address each element of Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs including:

• Physiological
• Safety
• Love/Belonging
• Esteem
• Self-Actualization

Start with an introduction stating the purpose of the paper

Then introduce your reader to Maslow’s Hierarchy of needs

Next provide a synopsis of the movie and what the overall “challenge” is that the character faces. Synthesize (think about, examine, understand) Maslow’s Hierarchy of needs, and examine how each of these needs are addressed by the character in the movie.
