Quality of life (QOL) is the general well-being of individuals and societies, outlining negative and positive features of life.

It observes life satisfaction, including everything from physical health, family, education, employment, wealth, religious beliefs, finance and the environment.

QOL has a wide range of contexts, including the fields of international development, healthcare, politics and employment.

It is important not to mix up the concept of QOL with a more recent growing area of health related QOL (HRQOL).

An assessment of HRQOL is effectively an evaluation of QOL and its relationship with health.

Learning is the act of acquiring new, or modifying and reinforcing existing, knowledge, behaviors, skills, values, or preferences which may lead to a potential change in synthesizing information, depth of the knowledge, attitude or behavior relative to the type and range of experience.

The ability to learn is possessed by humans, animals, plants and some machines.

Progress over time tends to follow a learning curve.

Learning does not happen all at once, but it builds upon and is shaped by previous knowledge.

To that end, learning may be viewed as a process, rather than a collection of factual and procedural knowledge.

Learning produces changes in the organism and the changes produced are relatively permanent.

The biophysical environment is the biotic and abiotic surrounding of an organism or population, and consequently includes the factors that have an influence in their survival, development and evolution.

The biophysical environment can vary in scale from microscopic to global in extent.

It can also be subdivided according to its attributes.

Examples include the marine environment, the atmospheric environment and the terrestrial environment.

The number of biophysical environments is countless, given that each living organism has its own environment.
