Compare the stages of Maslow's hierarchy of needs.
A: The first stage, the physical stage, which consists of food, water, sleep, and exercise, is ultimately essential for us to thrive and pass our genes on to the next generation. The second stage, the safety stage, which consists of the need for shelter and protection from danger, is very similar to the first as it applies to the physical aspects of our bodies. This, however, is unlike the third stage, the social stage, which consists of love, affection, and acceptance. The social stage attends to the mental needs of our bodies, whereas both the physical and safety stages attends to the physical ones. Consisting of the need to have self-respect and to achieve goals, the fourth stage, the esteem stage, corresponds to the social stage as it also applies to the mental aspects of our physical bodies. The fifth stage, the stage of self-actualization, however, cannot be compared to the other four stages as the fifth stage is the result of these stages and applies to both the physical and mental aspects of our bodies?
