Sad to say, but no.

Answer 4

Answer 5

Answer 6

In third world countries need only becomes want when there is nothing to eat. In western countries want overshadows need when one has more than they need. I am certain that people know the difference but those with no idea of need have little idea of what want actually may be.

Answer 8

Wanting something and needing something are two different things.  When one person wants something; he/she wishes to have something to suit themselves.  When one person needs something; he/she needs whatever to help them in a certain way.
