I believe that Maslow is mostly right. The thing that I disagree with is when someone is in several places on the pyramid at a single time. I agree that once you need something low enough on the pyramid that all attention goes to that area. Why can someone not be needing to belong but needs to have water or food. Maslow's Hierarchy of needs includes a very strict and abstract framework to identify where people are on his pyramid. The thing is that people will not always conform to that framework and the what results from that is a person that you can not identify where he or she belongs. This creates an outlier situation or a situation that practically discredits the theory at that given time. What I would do is to make the needs and areas that they encompass cover even more area and then more people so that those outliers do not fall through at all or that often.
