This behavior refutes a basic premise of Maslow's theory of motivation

Explanation:

The hierarchy theory that is evidenced in the pyramid of maslow, is a theory that seeks the explanation of what motivates motivation in humans.This pyramid is organized through hierarchies that are divided into 5 levels.

In this pyramid at the base, physiological  needs are found, the most primitive ones such as eating, feeding, among others. Only when reaching these needs can the satisfaction of the next level of needs be continued. Subsequently, security needs follow, then social, recognition, and finally, at the top of the pyramid, self-realization.

In the attitude mentioned in the question about the attitudes of the Somalies to put the welfare of the other human being before his own one observes how the scheme established in this theory is broken.
