从物本发展方式向民本发展方式转变

中国现阶段经济发展方式的基本特征是物本发展方式。转变经济发展方式就是从物本发展方式转变为民本发展方式,这是科学发展观的内在要求。物本发展方式的产生有其客观必然性,但其剧烈程度则与道德体系的紊乱有关。物本发展方式一方面使我国经济总量迅速跃居世界前列,另一方面使我国为此付出了沉重的代价,引发了各种社会矛盾和社会危机。从物本发展方式向民本发展方式转变的关键在于规范政府的行为;规范政府行为的基本层次就是还人民知情权,拆除限制知情权的种种樊篱,让权力在阳光下运行,自觉接受人民的监督;转变经济发展方式,关键在于政府,基础则在于民众。

浅析发展观与健康内涵的演变

传统的物本发展观将健康看作人力资本的一种,强调其工具性价值而忽视了健康的内在价值;在生物医学模式下以无休止的物的大量投入对抗疾病,忽略了健康的人本特征。这种发展观已不能适应人类健康发展的需要,在现实中也产生很多问题。以人为本的全面健康发展观应包括以下几个层面的涵义:一切发展都是为了人的健康和幸福;应关注所有人的健康发展;健康是人的生理、心理和社会的全面完好状态。

Current University Environmental Management Practices

Universities can be regarded as ＂small cities＂ because of their large size, population and the various complex activities taking place in campuses. Due to their inherent nature universities have a considerable impact on the environment. In this research a test was devised and completed for a sample of Australian universities to analyze the current environmental management practices of the universities over several key areas including： energy management, water management, waste management, transportation, biodiversity and sustainable development. It was discovered that in terms of environmental management universities are currently not performing at a level that is consistent with social and political expectations. In the assessment it was observed that universities have taken it upon themselves to improve to rectify this with many improvements to their current environmental management practices currently under development.
