Your Mental Health in The Context Of Pepper Sprays, Stun Guns, TASER Weapons and Other Self Defense Products

Article Category: Society

Author Name: Dan Reyes

How much would you like to accomplish personal development and fulfillment? How much do you think your self-esteem is worth? How much do you value your love and belongingness necessities? And what does all that have to do with pepper sprays, stun guns, TASER weapons and self defense products in general?

A lot, actually. Read on and you will find all the proof you need.

According to Abraham Maslow (a chief proponent of the humanistic school of human behavior), each human being has a five-levels "hierarchy of needs" that activates his/her conduct. How well you do in life will depend on whether or not you can successfully deal with the demands of each one of your lower, most dominant stages of the hierarchy, as you move up to satisfy the needs of the higher levels. This same procedure keeps happening, one level at a time, until the highest stage is reached at and a salubrious state of "self-actualization" (psychological wellbeing) is created.

But what are those specific needs to be satisfied on each particular stage of your own pyramid? And what does all that have to do with self defense weapons in general? Let's take a quick look at each stage of Maslow's "pyramid of needs", before we introduce self defense products into the whole psychology picture:

Level 5: "Self-Actualization" (Highest level)
Level 4: "Esteem and Self Esteem"
Level 3: "Love and Belonging"
Level 2: "Safety and Security"
Level 1: "Biological/Physiological Needs" (Lowest level)

As you can see, the lowest level of the hierarchy (Level 1) is that of "Biological/Physiological Needs". In this level you must satisfy your most basic human needs, including getting enough food, water, air, sleep, sex, etc. Many crimes are actually motivated by a difficulty to fulfill these needs through socially accepted channels (be ready to defend yourself with non lethal TASER devices, stun guns, pepper sprays and other reliable security products such as surveillance equipments).

Once the physiological drives of this first stage are met, the second level of Maslow's Hierarchy ("Safety and Security") will become important, its specific needs again motivating your conduct until completely satisfied. This is exactly where self defense products fit into the whole psychological picture. Without these licit self defense weapons, your "Safety and Security" needs might not be properly met, and your opportunity to satisfy those crucial needs of the remaining next three levels ("Love and Belonging", "Esteem and Self Esteem", and "Self-Actualization") would be thwarted (nobody can acquire those higher level goals of human development under life-threatening conditions, as pointed out in Maslow's psychological theory).

However, the obligatory question is: Is it possible to achieve your full potential as an individual without using any TASER weapon, stun gun or pepper spray at all? Of course it is. Maslow himself never discussed self defense products. However, the real question you must be asking yourself is: What are your prospects of retaining your self-actualization position (once achieved) if you become a victim of crime?

It has been estimated that the average U.S. citizen has a probability as high as 80% of becoming the victim of fierce crime over the course of a lifetime (by logic, someone's chances of losing his/her self-actualization status is exactly the same). If you become a victim of crime, you will most probably regress to a previous "deficit oriented" (not self-actualized) status of the pyramid of needs (levels 1-4), and the quality of your life (and that of your loved ones) would be painfully affected. To rephrase that, there is an enormous chance that you will lose your self-actualized status (fifth level of the hierarchy), after having worked so hard to achieve it.

Moreover, you would also lose your sense of esteem and self esteem (fourth level), as well as your sense of "love and belonging" (third level: you will find it hard to trust others)...even going back as far as your second level of your own psychological pyramid: "Safety and Security". That's a lot to lose in terms of mental, emotional, and even physical health, isn't it?

Pepper sprays, stun guns, TASER weapons, instructional fighting DVDs, surveillance equipments...these lawful self defense products and non lethal weapons represent so much more than your physical security alone: these are important tools to help you safeguard all the psychological happiness you and your loved ones may accomplish in life. They represent your human right to defend your emotional wellbeing and your peace of mind, and that of your loved ones.

Who says that psychology doesn't have anything to do with the act of prevention? And crime prevention begins with getting yourself reliable self defense products and weapons. If you protect yourself today, you might even spare yourself (and your family) years of psychotherapy aimed at reconstructing a shattered psychological hierarchy of needs that could have stood intact if only you had chosen to listen to a good advice...while time was still on your side.
