Attitude

One time, while I was in the class, my teacher was talking about a person’s attitude. She kept on repeating this word with different examples, but for unknown reason I didn’t get it.

Actually, I got it, but I couldn’t translate it into my native language. I think the reason behind this was her examples themselves. She was doing very well on describing what does attitude means. First, she told us that one’s attitude is mainly affected by his culture and the environment he lives within; I got from this that attitude refers to one’s mentality or thinking manner and believes. But somebody from the class said that he has the attitude that the situation out there is inconvenient; by this I started to get confused, what does attitude really mean?

After a few days I was researching the word to realized that it means one general meaning; it’s one’s settled way of thinking, which is, in other words, his believes, that control his behavior and feelings toward the surrounding environment and different situations he’d be in, and direct his path through his life.
