BASIC HUMAN NEEDS
The person is a multiple and interdependent needs, which make up a system that is interrelated and interact, simultaneously complementing and compensating to achieve dynamism in the process of satisfaction.

Universal human needs are the same in all cultures and historical moments, its variation is determined by the mechanism or means used to achieve them.

The satisfaction of human needs must be given in three contexts, also interrelated:
