In The Righteous Mind, Jonathan Haidt examines the moral grounds that people intuitively believe. He presented his idea by asking why good people are divided by politics and religion. Then, he asked about morality by asking, “Where does morality come from?” (Haidt, 2012, p. 3). He explained that people understand social morality in different ways. People live in unique societies that shape their understanding of social norms, which are based on many factors, such as culture, religion, and education. Haidt based his ideas about the righteous mind on three principles and demonstrated them through three metaphors to help his readers understand his theory. The first principle is “intuitions come first,” and its central metaphor is that the mind is like a rider on an elephant, where the rider’s job is to serve the elephant. The second principle is “there is more to morality than harm and fairness,” and its central metaphor is that the righteous mind is like a tongue with six taste receptors. The third principle is “morality binds and blinds,” and its metaphor is that we are 90 percent chimp and 10 percent bee (Pp. 3, 109, 217).
在《正义之心》一书中,乔纳森·海特审视了人们凭直觉相信的道德基础。他提出的问题是,为什么好人会被政治和宗教所分割。然后,他问道德:“道德从何而来?”(Haidt, 2012, p. 3)他解释说,人们对社会道德的理解是不同的。人们生活在独特的社会中,这些社会塑造了他们对社会规范的理解,这基于许多因素,如文化、宗教和教育。海特将他关于正义的思想建立在三个原则之上,并通过三个隐喻来证明这些原则,以帮助读者理解他的理论。第一个原则是“直觉至上”,其核心比喻是,头脑就像骑在大象身上的骑手,骑手的工作就是为大象服务。第二条原则是“道德不仅仅是伤害和公平”,其核心比喻是,正义的心灵就像有六个味觉感受器的舌头。第三个原则是“道德约束和盲目”,它的比喻是我们是90%的黑猩猩和10%的蜜蜂(第3,109,217页)。

Objective: To investigate the prevalence, pattern, and the perceived barriers, of physical activity among Omani university students studying in Oman.Methodology: A self-administered questionnaire using the short-form of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) was disseminated to a selected sample of university students, from their second academic year onwards through Whats AppTM. Descriptive, Bivariate and multivariate analysis was conducted to measure patterns, levels and associated factors. Results: Overall 44% were classified as highly active, 30% as moderately active, and 26% as lowly active or inactive. Younger students (?22 years), male students, respondents with a positive perception of weight (normal or below), and self-perceived physically active (moderate to high) were more likely to engage in moderate to high physical activity. Students in university for ? 4 years (OR: 2.69) and students were members of sports youth clubs (OR: 2.76) were significantly more likely to engage in moderate or high physical activity. Lack of motivation was the top barrier of physical activity.Conclusions: More than a quarter of surveyed Omani university students were physically inactive which has the potential to have a detrimental effect on their health and well-being. Therefore, creating a conducive environment is essential for improving short and long-term health outcomes.
