Growth is important in the development of the human mind.
Self-actualization is a part of this growth. Outside the normal human needs of
survival, safety, belonging, and esteem, we need to be able to affectively witness
growth. The text provides two examples of self-actualization, in the examples
there is a wiser person giving someone that is in need of guidance the specific
attention in order to see growth. Each person is seeing the growth, the first
in them and the second in the person that they are guiding. The importance of
self-actualization goes beyond just the individual. With examples such as,
Mohandas Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Jr. Buddha, and Confucius, it is evident
how self-actualization goes beyond the individual and where the importance lies
in human growth. The difference one person can make in a city, society, or
world is reliant on the person that seeks ultimate growth. Growth not only for
themselves, but for everyone around them as well.
