The basis of the Maslow's Hierarchy is that there will always be basic needs, and all things that are not necessities will be built upon those basic needs. We first need food, health, and sleep. Secondly we need shelter, and being away from danger. Thirdly we need love, affection, and the ability to be part of a group. For our fourth want or need we desire and need self- esteem, and esteem from others. And for the fifth point we need the achieved individual potential.
This hierarchy has to do with the book Hiroshima because in the book after the dropping of the Hiroshima atomic bomb, the basic needs that people must find are their family, friends, food, sleep, and good Health. People then seek shelter, and they discover that they must move away from the points of danger. The higher points on the hierarchy I have not gotten far enough into the book to see if they are a main factor in the way the victims of the atomic bomb react.
