Summary
Competition is something that has run in my blood since I can remember. I have gone against the grain of what a “normal” female gender role entails, I have been very competitive in all aspect of my life, starting when I was younger with a co-ed baseball team, which blossomed into playing for a girl’s fast pitch league, and eventually becoming the first female (and youngest) umpire that the suburban Chicagoland area ever had. It wasn’t enough for me just to be an umpire, though, as I felt that if I was going to do it, I was going to be the best; and I did exactly that. I took the time to get my nationally recognized certification, and I worked my way up the ranks. I also took part in other male dominated activities, such as cross country fox hunting on horseback. These are just two of the many examples of my outright competitive nature that is an obvious part of my everyday personality.
Table of Contents
- The basis of what Maslow is best known for is what he called his hierarchy of needs.
- The third need in the hierarchy is that of feeling that they belong and are loved.
- Maslow did allow for four exceptions to the hierarchy.
- Maslow did not speak directly about competitiveness, though I feel that it fits in nicely with his idea of the hierarchy of needs.
- As I got older, my competitiveness kept growing, especially when I was searching to fulfill my esteem need according to Maslow.
- As for my competitiveness, Adler is more concerned with the physical inferiorities.
