How to improve people's happiness and satisfaction from the perspective of socialist spiritual civilization construction

Happiness is a feeling of self, not the evaluation of others.

When your life needs are met, your feeling is called happiness.

A person's life is divided into five levels of needs. Everyone has different levels of goals and different standards.

When your needs are met at that level, your life will be happy.

The basic meanings of requirements at all levels are as follows:

(1) physiological needs.

This is the most basic requirement for human beings to maintain their own survival, including hunger, thirst, clothing, shelter and sex. If these needs are not met, human survival will become a problem. In this sense, physiological needs are the most powerful driving force to promote human action. Maslow believes that only when these basic needs are satisfied to the extent necessary for survival can other needs become new incentive factors, and at this time these relatively satisfied needs no longer become incentive factors.

(2) the need for security.

This is the need for human beings to protect their own safety, to get rid of the threat of occupational and property losses, to avoid the invasion of occupational diseases and to contact with harsh supervision. Maslow believes that the whole body is a mechanism to pursue security, and human sensory organs, effective organs, intelligence and other energy are mainly tools to seek security, and even science and outlook on life can be regarded as part of meeting security needs. Of course, once this demand is relatively satisfied, it is no longer an incentive factor.

(3) Emotional needs.

This level of demand includes two aspects. One is the need for friendship, that is, everyone needs a harmonious relationship between partners and colleagues or maintains friendship and loyalty; Everyone wants to be loved, love others and be loved by others. The second is the need for a sense of belonging, that is, everyone has a sense of belonging to the group and wants to be a member of the group and care for each other. Emotional needs are more detailed than physiological needs, which are related to a person's physiological characteristics, experience, education and religious beliefs.

(4) the need for respect.

Everyone wants to have a stable social status, and requires personal abilities and achievements to be recognized by society. The need for respect can be divided into internal respect and external respect. Inner respect means that a person wants to be strong, competent, confident and independent in various situations. In short, internal respect is people's self-esteem. External respect means that a person wants to have status, prestige, respect, trust and high praise from others. Maslow believes that the need to respect can make people full of confidence in themselves, full of enthusiasm for society, and realize the usefulness and value of living.

(5) the need for self-realization.

This is the highest-level need, which refers to the need to realize one's ideals and ambitions, maximize one's ability, and accomplish everything commensurate with one's ability. In other words, people must do competent work in order to feel the greatest happiness. Maslow pointed out that the ways to meet the needs of self-realization vary from person to person. The need for self-realization is to strive to realize one's potential and make oneself more and more the person one expects.
