From Wikipedia: ''A '''need<ref name=wikipedia_need>[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Need Wikipedia entry on Need]</ref>''' is something that is necessary for organisms to live a healthy life. Needs are distinguished from wants because a deficiency would cause a clear negative outcome, such as dysfunction or death. Needs can be objective and physical, such as food, or they can be subjective and psychological, such as the need for self-esteem. On a social level, needs are sometimes controversial. Understanding needs and wants is an issue in the fields of politics, social science, and philosophy. | From Wikipedia: ''A '''need<ref name=wikipedia_need>[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Need Wikipedia entry on Need]</ref>''' is something that is necessary for organisms to live a healthy life.
