Abstract
A common narrative related to the Global South involves macro-level development for human well-being, involving endeavors for clean water, sufficient nutrition, access to universal education, access to energy, economic development, free trade, and political stability. At the micro- and ego-based level, development is about meeting human needs. Abraham Maslow's “hierarchy of needs” (1943, 1954, 1969, 1971) suggests that people tend to meet survival needs first before advancing to those of psychological and higher-level human actualization needs, from physiological, and safety needs to love/social belonging, self-esteem, self-actualization, and self-transcendence (in the six layer conceptualization). This explores “Global South”-tagged social imagery to explore the meeting of human needs.

It aims to explain why individuals tend to act the way they do and it proposes that people have several needs and they tend to satisfy their most basic needs such as safety and security related needs before they can move on to more complicated needs such as self-actualization.
