Humans attitudes

Law issues from the will of legislators, and binds those who fall within its scope, either by knowingly consenting to be bound by it or else by acting in ways which imply their implicit acceptance of the rules of society. Morality, if it is objective, has a foundation independent of the human will and has a logically different kind of force upon us. What has been willed (i.e. a legal principle) can be opposed and revoked what is the objective moral case, apart from human attitudes to it, remains such, however much as one or all may wish it were not so. 

To the extent that people have characteristics that set them apart from others, the truly liberal and humane attitude toward these differences can only be one of acceptance. Sartre describes this in terms equally applicable to so-called mental patients. In societies... 

There are several models that characterize safety culture within an organization. The two most widely known are the Dupont Bradley Curer and the Hudson/Parker HSE Culture Ladder. (See also Chapter 21, Human Attitude.)... 

The western relationship between nature and humans is well known and yet confused. Historically, they have been viewed as separate one from the other (Glacken, 1967). The modern view of nature continues to see the mind as separate Irom nature. Nature has been seen as something essentially mechanical and non-mental. The mind makes nature nature is so to speak, a by-product of the autonomous and self-existing activity of mind (Collingwood, 1957). It is vitally important that zoo staff, designers and those responsible for the interests of zoos understand these ideas because zoos are about nature and humans, probably more so than any other public institution. Our human attitudes toward nature have influenced our understanding...

Many organizations that have evolved over a long period of time come to believe that the system of safety rules that they have developed is invulnerable to human error. The existence of a "rule book" culture can produce a complacent attitude which assumes that if the rules are followed then accidents are impossible. This is based on the belief that a rigid set of rules will cover every contingency and that interpretation by individuals to cover imanticipated situations will never be required. Of course, all rules will at some time require such interpretation, and the need for this should be accepted and built into the system. 

You have now defined your business needs and gained an idea of the group of employees that requires attention, in order to address these. Equipped with this, you can move on to determining whether business needs can be translated into specific human resource requirements. This means attempting to translate them into competencies, their underlying components (knowledge, skills and attitudes), and experience. The following questions will help you to translate business needs into HR needs ... 

The involvement of farmers and their attitudes towards transgene confinement protocols and the risk associated with the production of GM crops has not commonly been considered by regulators, yet cooperation between neighbouring farmers may be a fundamental requirement for transgene confinement (Mauro and McLachlan 2003 Riddle, 2004 Tolstrup et al., 2003). The human or cultural element of coexistence management is difficult to characterize and control (Mauro and McLachlan, 2003) and this makes coexistence success difficult to predict. Open communication between neighbours, either formal or informal, is an essential element of a successful coexistence plan (Riddle, 2004). 

The general attitude of physicians is to undertake actions which can be easily tolerated by the patient and which introduce a minimum risk for the safety of the patient. From this point of view, non-invasive sensors are definitely preferable to invasive sensors. On the other hand, for several applications, the insertion of optical sensors inside the human body cannot be avoided. In this case, very severe regulations must be satisfied in order to guarantee the safety of patients.

The human element is not one third of sustainability it is central to its implementation (Pearson 2003). The challenge of sustainability is neither wholly technical nor rational. It is one of the change in attitude and behavior. Sustainability therefore must include the social discourse where the fundamental issues are explored collaboratively within the groups or community concerned. We do not do that very well, partly because of increasing populations, complexity, distractions, and mobility, but more because of certain characteristics of the dominant paradigm that are seen as desirable (Flicker 2001). 

Human factors and ergonomics concern the ability of personnel to perform their job functions within the physical and mental capabilities or limitations of a human being. Human beings have certain tolerances and personal attitudes. Tolerances can be related to the ability to accept information, how quickly the information can be understood and the ability and speed to perform manual activities. When information is confusing, lacking or overtaxing, the ability to understand and act upon it quickly or effectively is absent. It is therefore imperative to provide concise, adequate and only pertinent information to do all the tasks associated with petroleum activities. This includes activities associated with emergency fire and explosion protection measures. 

The single most influence effect of human performance is attitude. Attidtude is the mind set, point of view and the way we look at things. The way we look at things is the partly responsible for the nature of our behavior and performance. Some of the more common attitudes which influence accidental behavior are listed below ...
