A need is something you should have, you can't do without it ..... Water, Food.

A want is something that you would like to have but not something that you can't live without ..... Ipod, Gucci bag.

God has provided for everymans need but its mans greed that is destroying the world.

Let me give an example. Human beings need water to survive. Now if we do not waste water we will have enough for everyone. But the cola jiants and alcohol multinationals deplete so much ground water that the water table goes down in certain areas leading to water scarcity.

Human needs = important requirements for survival.

Human wants = luxuries in life, vanities and things you can live without.

Need is something that is necessary for the survival of a person. 

Want is something that a person desires, either immediately or in the future.

Needs are the things that keep you alive. Wants are the things that make your life better.

I would say, needs are basic to all humans even in a job there are basic job specifications that everybody should fulfill, however what you want are extra support which enable individuals to be talent and crative in order to achieve there best.
