Kapanlagi.com - Types of human needs are indeed diverse and need to be known. Yes, because humans cannot be separated from their needs. In fact, every day human needs will continue to increase due to human character itself and the differences in the environment where humans live. Needs themselves are something that arises naturally experienced by humans to sustain their lives. Human needs come in various forms and differ from one person to another. For example, the living needs of a teacher will certainly be different from the living needs of a doctor or a farmer.

In short, needs are very important and humans become dependent on those needs.

- Secondary needs are needs that come after primary needs have been fulfilled. Each person's secondary needs are certainly different. For example, after having a house, the desire to complete it with a television, refrigerator, music equipment, washing machine, and so on arises. These needs are only complementary and not urgent to fulfill.

- Tertiary needs, also known as luxury needs, are needs that are generally fulfilled by people with high income and are intended to enhance self-satisfaction in the eyes of society. Examples of tertiary needs include luxury cars, jewelry, luxury homes, and so on.

These needs based on intensity are determined by each individual in a certain region. There are areas that are still underdeveloped and consider motorbikes as luxury needs.
