The learning process

Living safely means learning certain habits and unlearn some others.

Is the learning process in safely possible or feasible?

Yes, the process is possible. We can learn rules and safety procedures as we learn a lot of other things. It may be a little slow for some people, or even difficult for others, but there is nothing in the process itself that makes it different from any other learning process.

Is the learning process in safety feasible?

It is feasible only to the extent that has been encoded. I mean, like any learning process, a rule or safety procedure should be studied and organized in order to attend the basic principles of learning.

But in this feature our modern culture fails painfully.

Think in computers and how difficult is to operate them for someone who never approached one of them. However, it seems commonplace for experienced users. The difference between a beginner and an experienced user is simply that the experienced user has gone through a learning process that made him able to understand the use of a computer.

The same is true with any kind of knowledge.
 
In terms of safety, perhaps the best prepared people to use safety procedures are the people who work with the hypothesis of violence. They are the military and civilian police, the military armed forces, private bodyguards, the federal police, security bank, the night watchmen, employees of companies wich transport high values​​ objects and money, firefighters, among others.

These professionals are trained to be able to adopt effective security procedures, and use weapons and security equipment, but initially, they are people who know nothing about it until you receive the proper training.
 
What training is that?

In fact, there is not only a single workout, but a set of them.

So what learn these professionals wich that in fact become professionals, not amateurs with uniforms, batons and guns?

What learn they that we, ordinary citizens, can also learn?

What can they teach us?

Who can teach us?

Is feasible a mass learning process that makes people so familiar with security actions that the process will really make a difference in quality of life for its users?

These are important questions that deserve an appropriate response.
