While a "want" is something you would like to have. You don't necessarily need it to survive but you would like to have it. Four examples of these are:

    Needs:
    1. Food
    2. Water
    3. Protein
    4. Minerals, vitamins, ect.

    Wants:
    1. Car
    2. Clothes
    3. Ipod
    4. Video game

  24. 'Need' is a basic living essential. if you don't have it, you could die. needs are the things which make ones satisfaction arise when attained.Needs can be natural or man-made.for eg.oxygen,water,food are the natural needs but car,fuel,books ete can the artificial needs.. 'Want' is something that you feel you need, or you really desire, but not having it doesn't mean you die.generally wants are abundance but not needed at the same instance. Example clothes, a car, money, shoes
