Today I’d like to have a

discussion of core human needs that we

think are not culturally-

specific, but that cut

across cultures. And

then how these can be

distorted in different

cultural contexts. I’d also like to show you

What, in your assessment, constitute

core human needs, keeping in mind the different models – for

instance, Maslow’s and

Max-Neef’s – or it the

case, as many modern

economists would argue,

that needs are whatever

the self-oriented utility-

maximizing rational individuals deem as such?
