CHANGE IN NEEDS OVER TIME

Abstract

When we look at the ancient world and earlier, we see that the most important struggle of mankind is to survive against the wild nature and to recognize nature and self.This need has become as important as shelter, food and security for the primitive man in particular.In later periods, the developments recorded by mankind have not lost their importance and led to the creation of myths, religions, gods.It is seen that such a crucial effort inevitably influences the artistic activities of these human communities, and even to some thinkers, the origin of art creation.There are certain factors that influence the needs of the individual. It is seen that both the biological characteristics and the family environment are effective. As the culture of the society and the moral characteristics of the society change over time, the needs also change. According to this hierarchy of needs; need for achievement, need for independence, need for self-actualization, need for consume, need to believe and need to build are explained.The purpose of this study is to emphasize the necessity of people to believe and build from the past, starting from the formal and architectural features of temple constructions. As a result of all the research, it was aimed to examine how human beings' needs change over time.According to the examples given; as time and society change, so do the needs of women and men. There has been an increase in the need for women to achieve independence and achievement.
