What are the basic needs of a person in LIFE?

Those three would definitely be the basis of it all. I think love and consideration is important. Good health, and brains. I think the less materials items the better but some people are really into those and it makes them very happy. And the ability to make good choices.

Food,Shelter,Medicines,clothing,water,air,sunlight,partner,money,and brain .These are the basic needs we must have to enjoy and survive.

I think people need, clothes, food, water, housing, money, health insurance, life insurance, dishes, silverware, beds, cookware, oxygen, a vehicle and I am sure there are many more things to list.

Hey sagnik! You have picked some of the basic needs for people to survive in this life, but there are still many more! We must have companionship, friends, family. We must have things that we can do so that we are kept busty and not get bored. We must have money so that we can buy things. It is no longer as simple as the 3 basic things that you have listed! The world is so much more complicated than that! We must also have the proper medical care that is needed so that we can live healty lives! And there is so much more!

The next need that I would list beyond food, clothing and shelter is LOVE. The reason that I choose love is that it emcompasses so many of the things that we need in our lives to be happy. It can be romantic love as in the love between yourself and your partner. Or it can be the love of your family and the support that comes with that type of love. Finally, love also gives you the ability to have friends as well.

hi sagnik^^;; if you are talking to physical survival then i would just add air, water and good medication when we get sick. In this world today, there are many diseases coming out even though we have those needs you've mentioned and they are unavoidable and sometimes incurable. when it comes to emotional survival, then we need family, friends and a partner that provides love, support and understanding. we all know the saying "no man is an island" and we cannot live and enjoy living without these around us. happiness and contentment will never be achieved unless we have someone to share all these things with

You are missing 4. Companionship 5. Adventure 6. Discovery

A good companion…a soulmate really, for the sake of who you can forgo your food, shelter and clothes LOL that’s a bit far fetched but believe me, a good partner is worth every trouble in life.

Aside from those things that you have mentioned, Im gonna have to say that people need other people or at least pets. I mean "no man is an island" as the saying goes. People need the interaction that they get from other people. If that's not possible then the company of a pet. A living thing to talk to and respond. Like the situation in "I Am Legend" movie. He thought he was the last person on Earth, but he still has the hope that there might be others out there. What kept him sane somehow in dealing with the thought that he was all alone, was his pet the German Shepherd. They both kept each other company, looked out for each other, and that helped Will Smith's character in being focused in finding a cure and keeping his thoughts sane. Well, thats just what I think anyways.^_^

There is a big difference in being able to survive in this world and being happy. In theory we can be put in a cage alone and with food we'd be able to survive...but we wouldn't be happy. The real question is if we can survive if we are not happy. If some one lived in solitude but was feed, would their life expectancy be less? I would think it would be, but I can't back that up with proof. I think you would live longer if you had food, clothing and shelter if you were also happy. Companionship is also important and could be considered part of happiness. So, I guess that's my answer: Happiness and companionship. Oh, and maybe a little chocolate thrown in there too?

Hi sagnik, the first essentials to survival are of course water, fire and food. If you're talking actual survival here a good survival manual would be handy. Shelter and clothing would be next. I haven't seen the programme for ages but used to enjoy 'Survivor' where they drop a lot of people on an island somewhere and let them fend for themselves, apart from the huge production team of course, and the stand by medics.

i think that money is the basic need s of a person in life.i find whtatever we do everyday,we could not left money,we have money and buy what we want,including we often need food and cloths and living.

When you stand in different stage you may have different needs. We ofen do not satisfy with our situation. But the basic needs is not difficult to catch. If you do not have more desire which is hopeless you can get basic needs.

Hi I think family plays a pivotal aprt.Not to forget friends ,We need people around us as Man is a social animal

Hi sagnik42 Im not sure put i think one is friendship. Its not easy to survive in earth, if u dont have to talk,trust and count on nobady. Sry for bad english:P
