Cross-cultural Commonalities and Interconnectedness

Human commonalities that link people together across culture, space and time include both the simplest basic needs and the most lofty hopes and aspirations of humankind.

People all have similar basic needs as described in Abraham Maslow's Hierarchy of Human needs and face similar life's challenges and joys. Humans need sustenance, shelter and relationships, the most fundamental of life's pursuits as well as to express, create, understand and grow. These needs frequently provide both motivation for and content of the world's art.
