Biodiversity and Human Values01:24

Biodiversity and Human Values

13.2K
Human civilization relies on biodiversity in many ways. Sudden changes in species biodiversity result in environmental changes that can modify weather patterns and therefore human civilizations.

Requirements for Human Life01:26

Requirements for Human Life

8.3K
The Earth and its atmosphere have provided humans with air, water, and food, but these are not the only requirements for survival. Humans also require a specific range of temperature and pressure that the Earth and its atmosphere provides.
Oxygen
Atmospheric air is only about 20 percent oxygen, but that oxygen is a key component of the chemical reactions that keep the body alive, including the reactions that produce ATP. Brain cells are susceptible to a lack of oxygen because they require a...

Threats to Biodiversity01:50

Threats to Biodiversity

22.4K
There have been five major extinction events throughout geological history, resulting in the elimination of biodiversity, followed by a rebound of species that adapted to the new conditions. In the current geological epoch, the Holocene, there is a sixth extinction event in progress. This mass extinction has been attributed to human activities and is thus provisionally called the Anthropocene. In 2019 the human population reached 7.7 billion people and is projected to comprise 10 billion by...

Compounds Essential to Human Function01:25

Compounds Essential to Human Function

5.9K
The human body is composed of cells that are fundamentally made up of several different molecules. These molecules are essential to carry out all physiological processes in the body and are broadly classified into organic and inorganic based on their chemical structures.
Inorganic Compounds Essential to Human Functioning
Inorganic compounds essential to human functioning include water, salts, acids, and bases. These compounds are inorganic, i.e., they do not have a carbon-hydrogen bond. Water...

Instinct Theory01:29

Instinct Theory

377
Instinct theory proposes that innate biological instincts, like animal behavioral patterns, primarily drive human behavior. These instincts are inborn, not learned, and are fundamental to decision-making and action. Just as animals rely on instincts for critical survival functions such as migration, nest building, and defense, humans are also believed to exhibit behaviors rooted in evolutionary needs. For example, the instinct to reproduce motivates sexual behavior, while territorial instincts...

Maslow's Theory of Basic Human Needs01:28

Maslow's Theory of Basic Human Needs

2.1K
Maslow's hierarchy is described with the help of a pyramidal shape. The most fundamental needs, physiological needs, are at the bottom of the pyramid.
Physiological needs such as hunger, thirst, sex, physical comfort, and survival are at the bottom of the pyramid. These are the components that are necessary to sustain life. Once the first level of needs has been met, the second level arises.
Safety needs include stability and predictability. Protection and freedom from danger are all a part...

Area of Science:

  • Human-computer interaction
  • Sociotechnical systems theory
  • Philosophy of technology

Background:

  • Historically, human narratives place individuals at the center of events, driven by personal consciousness.
  • This anthropocentric view is increasingly questioned by the rise of automated, autonomous, and artificially-intelligent systems.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To challenge the assumption of human centrality in motivation and control.
  • To explore the evolving role of humans within increasingly complex sociotechnical collectives.

Main Methods:

  • Conceptual analysis and theoretical argumentation.
  • Examination of the progression of human operator roles in automated systems.
  • Introduction of a 'unit of analysis' to reframe human-societal interactions.

Main Results:

  • Human contributions are becoming peripheral in automated systems, moving from direct control to remote supervision.
  • Sociotechnical collectives are emerging as significant sources of motivation, potentially unhuman in nature.
  • Technological innovations are amplifying these shifts, moving away from human-centered paradigms.

Conclusions:

  • The traditional human-centered view of work science is becoming obsolete.
  • A transition is occurring where sociotechnical systems, not individuals, may become the primary drivers of motivation.
  • Future research must consider these evolving dynamics in the study of work.
