Before we start the discussion
















Explanation:

The Final Outcome of the Hierarchy
A discussion is held today by our group leader to discuss and suggest the solution for the Maslow’s Hierarchy based on our topic, Social Problems among Teenager. From the picture above, the left side of the pyramid has represent the categories of the problems and the right side of the pyramid represent the solution we provided based on the form of programs or solutions. 
The basic problems that lie on the bottom of the hierarchy, Mentality, represent the thinking and behavior of teenager. As the thinking or behaviors of teenager nowadays are beginning to become negative ideology and they need to be purifies and re-educates. Therefore, we suggested that counseling is needed to be implemented toward the teens.

The 2nd level in the hierarchy, the safety and security which we emphasize on are the feels to be safe and secure of the teenager. What we provided are the ideal environment for teens. Ideal environment is access to enriching activities and a good education for teens. The 3rd level in the hierarchy is belonginess.  We figure out that to let the teens feel their presence and belonging as a group of students is in the co-curriculum activities. This is where the teenager will release their excess energy into these schools activities. Other than that, self-esteem of teenagers is important too. It can be overcome by only the help from the teenager themselves as this is a personal feelings and reactions. What we can do is to persuade them to have more social interaction with others such as making more friends and having an eye on the world outside.

Cognitive is placed on the 5th level of the hierarchy as the meaning of it was being recognized by the society or certain subject such as their parents. Therefore, we suggested to conduct an identified expertise program to lead the teens on what they are capable of doing and how does they demonstrate their skills into related field in their future. This would provide them a pathway to realize their skills and provide their service to the society in future. For the 6th level in the hierarchy, aesthetic brings out the sense of art in related of the working fields or industries. The art Society can be build up as teenagers can apply their creative skills into the subject they like such as designs, idea developments and more.

Self-actualization comes in the 2nd last level in the hierarchy, which means that the feeling of being satisfaction are composed in the teenagers as they have reach the level that they almost fulfills every wants and expectation of themselves. We offered a higher level of solutions to them which is the scholarships.
In the last and highest of the level, self-transcendence are what the successor doing to challenge them as they have reached the point where they are satisfied with what they wanted. We provide them a pathway which is programs to leads other as counselor or lecturer.
