The third level of the pyramid of needs has also motivated my desire to obtain my degree at Davenport. This level refers to the sense of belonging to a family, a group of friends or colleagues. This motivated me in the meaning that I desired to continue the family tradition and better relate to the family members that had attended Davenport. Also, this need was reflected by my desire to belong to a group of intelligent students guided by dedicated professors.
The last features from Maslow's hierarchy of needs that stimulated me to attend the Davenport courses were those of self-esteem and self-actualization. I knew that studying at Davenport would offer me the chance to prove my skills and intelligence and would sustain me in achieving my goals.

Furthermore, I was able to listen to other view points in regard to the same matter, possibility which broadened my understanding of the issues discussed.
A found these strategies most helpful as they revealed several sides of the same problem. But the success of the discussions and the team projects was only reachable through individual study. As such, in order for the methods to work, students had to previously read and get familiarized with the debated topic. In the situations when this did not happen, the methods were not useful.

Galpin (1996) suggests that because changing the basic assumptions and beliefs of the underlying culture is very difficult, the best approach for influencing specific aspects of a culture that need to be changed for any given initiative and strategy to be successful needs to be on an exception vs. all-inclusive basis.
