softer values; human considerations Explanation: Softer values Example: Are "soft values" -- "sensitivity, subjectivity, tolerance, self-esteem, a therapy-based view of behavior, relativism, and nonjudgmentalism, all replacing the 'hard' values of individual responsibility, objectivity, self-control, patriotism, strong social expectations, and commitment to moral judgments" http://www.celluloid-wisdom.com/pw/archives/001252.html Many useful hits for "soft values", including: www.danfoss.com/NR/rdonlyres/187F1839-EDD1-4BE9-BA89-B1A9AC... www.dh.umu.se/default.asp?sida=134 - 30k www.nypost.com/postopinion/books/26665.htm etc. Human considerations Norwegians are very preoccupied with what they call "myke verdier". This expression is used almost daily in the media. As I understand it, "myke verdier" in the context of an industrial concern refers to human considerations as opposed to considerations of profit and production. |
