	#Stunting of Potential: Maslow’s metaphor of the subway passengers illustrates the shift from the innocence, openness, and liveliness of childhood to the stunted, constrained state of adulthood in many modern societies.

	#Cultural Acceptance: Maslow highlighted society’s “realistic acceptance” of normalcy, where people come to see limitations and a lack of fulfillment as unavoidable facts of life.
