Humanity Theory, is an extension of that idea. For Humanity Theory, I explored resources about key aspects of humanity and revisited “Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs”, which I had contemplated in my youth. In the many years since then, so much has happened in our world which made me think about the applicability of Maslow's theory in our lives today. The introduction song, Maslow’s Omission, is an overture reflecting how Humanity Theory strives to go beyond Maslow’s model. And, the final song, Circle Back, is a reminder that so many things in life are iterative, so much like Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, we cycle through needs, individual or global, as events occur, in our journey of fulfillment and growth, to achieve our desired actuality.
