Since No one in the other forum has helped me out and I'm running outta time, I decided to post this here. So help me out please!
I would like to know everyone's view on the political redistribution of solitary rights and actions under civil law.
Also,
Do you think ergonomics in North America has placed pressure on regular society contributing individuals, (excluding those who are on welfare) to dedicate too much of their time to working and does it create confliction with other responsabilites in an individual's day to day life?

Well, ergonomics has nothing to do with working, so obviously the answer is 12.

Okay. The shape of your chair and position of your keyboard have nothing to do with how much people work. It's not like they're going to say "ugh, I hate my job... But I just love this chair, so screw taking Johnny to soccer practice, I'm just going to stay here at work.

Yes it does. Those are examples, factors of a worker's comfort etc... things to maximize a worker's productivity however totally fits the question... If there are things that make a job easier, do you think people focus more on making money and so on...

Creating things with an ergonomic design is to reduce repetitive motion injuries, and other discomforts as you said. I would assume it would decrease the stress on a worker by increasing their level of comfort on the job. The only stress that regular contributing citizens would face, would be the designers of said products.

Right, that's what I meant, but is it encouraging people to spend more time working because of these benefits? because there is such a need to make money these days so as such is it taking away from their other responsabilities like family, marriages etc...

It's possibly an indirect incentive to work more. I'm not sure that people think, wow this chair makes me feel comfortable. MUST WORK MORE! It just makes work less painful and easier to work more.
