Security’s Price
By Sarah Corso
The second pillar on psychologist Robert Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs is security. When that security is violated, it is necessary for it to be restored in any way possible. In history, we don’t need to look far to validate this assumption. Refer to the 1996 Olympic games in Atlanta for an example.

Grace, a high school senior, learned much about her classmate’s views on mental illness last spring when they acted unkindly by making fun of a character in a movie that had Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, also known as OCD. Little did they know she suffered from that same mental illness. It was at that moment she realized that not telling others about her disorder was the right decision.
