Human Nature And The Human Beings

As I held my breath and trying to get to the surface, I felt like I was not going to get up again. Then I felt we were slowing down and I slowly came up from a couple of metres of water and I felt relived as I got up and walked onto the shore. The fear and change is discussed in this short story are connected because the Bitterings are constructed to be very fearful of change that may be happening.

What is human nature? Human Nature is characteristics or feelings shared by all humans. In “The Midas Touch” Midas is an example of human nature being greedy. Also, in the text “Are We Naturally Good or Bad?” shows that humans are naturally good based on an experiment. Lastly, in the video “The Myth of Human Nature” humans have certain needs that should be met. In all of these texts there are amazing examples of human nature and how humans would act in situations related to the topic.

The young woman opened up her door and immediately felt that sense of uneasiness again even though her home was full of light. She could hear the water running in the bathroom and figured that her boyfriend, James, was just taking his usual night shower. She went into the kitchen to get a quick drink of water. As she drank the cool liquid she felt an immense feeling of relief. She advanced toward the bathroom. She walked down the hallway heading towards the closed bathroom door. Alecia felt a sense of panic and anxiety when she felt her foot become slightly submerged in a liquid on the floor.

John D. Speth authored the article, News Flash: Negative Evidence Convicts Neanderthals of Gross Mental Incompetence, a piece where Speth argues that Neanderthals have not been properly proven of inferior cognitive abilities. Speth says,

Some would say it; the weather was perfect for a bad decision. Gazing into the deep, cloudy waters of the treacherous river, she was reminded of a memory that she oh so badly wanted to be just a dream, she wished that all pain caused from that particular event would vanish. Shaking her head and furrowing her eyebrows she tried to shake the imprint that the episode had left on her. The river's waves collided against the banks, the change in the river's motions reflected her relationship with her husband – calm at times, but a disturbance in the calm water can cause a ripple effect. She thought walking would be a calm way to get away from the pent-up emotions she had been trying to run from, but everything in sight reminded her of her him; and that he was no longer hers. She walked with her shoulder slouched as she re-adjusted the baby in her frail, cold arms. Her watery eyes stared into the nothingness of the mist, still slowly advancing down the rocky path with no distinct destination in mind. Like a broken record, the images replayed in her mind. It felt like a nightmare she couldn’t escape, no matter how far she ran and no matter how hard she tried. There was no use, because the chant of their door that was slammed moments before he left, bounced off her eardrums and it began to become the only thing she could hear. Her

Icy sweat had split Murphy’s forehead into sections of moisture and flesh. He couldn’t fixate on what was causing him such distress. He only knew that he was afraid of the unknown. He glanced around at his surroundings, but most of his senses had failed him. To say the room was dark would be an understatement. He was surrounded by a void of perpetual darkness that seemed to surround his pale complexion, gnawing away at the faint glow his skin once possessed. Since his sight had failed him, he strained to listen for any hint of activity, but the more he concentrated on the abyss the less noise he could hear. It was as if he had descended to the bottom of the Mariana Trench; the pressure from the water impeding his ability to hear, see,

I inhaled the cool, fresh air, and I started running towards the edge of the pool. I took the leap. My feet left the ground, and I plunged into the deep, blue, water of the pool. I sunk down, little by little, unable to get to the surface. I started to panic. I was sinking down, I couldn’t get back to the surface, and fatally running out of air. My brain was frenzied, I was drowning! I couldn’t get to the surface, I didn’t know how! The water’s greedy, wet hands consuming me, dragging me farther down. Dread was in my veins, because I was running out of air. I needed to get back to the surface. But the water just wraps itself around my my toes, up to my ankles, knees, thighs, neck! I have no air. I don't know what to do! The water creeps up my face, forcing itself into my lungs. Why… Why didn’t I listen to them... I think as I sink farther down into the bottomless depths of the pool. My air was gone, and I was sure my life had gone with it.

The will, in its simplest form, is the ability for one to control one’s own actions. Through the will, the morality of the action is entirely decided by the doer. Augustine professes the will simply permits the doer to do evil. In Socrates’ assertion, free will is contingent on self-control because without it, one can find oneself enslaved to a material thing or desire. Based on reading and prior knowledge, it can be deduced that the only thing that can truly keep one from vice is free will.

Be it the philosopher, the novelist, or the pondering youth, mankind often scrutinizes its own “nature” – that is, whether humans are innately bad, good, or somewhere in between the spectrum. Mencius and Han Feizi, two Chinese philosophers whose lives were separated by only nine years, ostensibly seem to take completely contradictory stances on human nature. Mencius maintains that humans are all born good, writing that “humans all have hearts that are not unfeeling toward others” and that all people have “sprouts” of goodness that must be cared for and maintained through ritual lest they wither and die, resulting in a person who is no longer good. Han Feizi, on the other hand, argues that humans are innately bad and require a strict system of rewards and punishments in order to mold them into goodness. On the surface, these views seem to be wholly at odds with each other. By considering the sources of this apparent disparity, however, one may determine that the differences in these philosophers’ views of human nature are a direct result of the differences in their end goals. In fact, Mencius’ and Han Feizi’s opinions on the matter can actually coexist without contradiction because the two have completely different standards of what is “good” and what is “bad”.

Water, in many forms, affects every major character in [oh god what’s a synonym for “the two novels”]. Fears of submersion, overpowering tears, visions of deep-sea creatures, and baptismal deaths all seep into the pages of the two novels.

nature of humanity. It was taught that human beings are born into sin but this did not mean that people were nature evil but it did mean that human beings were born with a natural tendency toward selfishness and sin. Enlightenment thinkers denied this believing the evils in human society were due to ignorance, superstition, and entrenched political and religious authority. They believed they could be overcome with proper education, freedom from superstition, dogmatic religion, and political tyranny. The belief in the inherent goodness of humanity, and the power of reason, and the advances of science led to an optimistic belief in progress. There were arguments that the history of the past showed that the human race was moving to an ultimate perfection. This future would bring equality among nations, equality of freedom and rights among the visuals, and indefinite perfectibility of human nature itself intellectually, morally, and physically. Such progress and understanding, will be continued and be spread by public education so as to elevate the whole race of humanity. Enlightenment thinkers were passionate Advocates of Liberty by which they meant freedom for political and religious authorities. The original idea had been that religious unity was essential to Unity of people and a country. Enlightenment notions of political liberty derive largely from 17th century English thinker John Locke who maintained that governments derive their legitimacy from the consent of the

It is possible to imagine that human nature, the human intellect, emotions and feelings are completely independent of our technologies; that we are essentially ahistorical beings with one constant human nature that has remained the same throughout history or even pre-history? Sometimes evolutionary psychologists—those who belief human nature was fixed on the Pleistocene Savannah—talk this way. I think this is demonstrably wrong. Consider ancient technologies, for example: cooking. When ancient hunter-gatherers discovered that firing their meat would not only make it tastier but could make their food easier to digest, it had a number of knock-on effects. It made parts of an animal carcass that were previously inedible edible, and also made

To begin with Adam Smith wrote about the nature of human beings and their relation to the community. In contrast to moral relativism Adam Smith argued that it is in human nature that they are interested in the fortunes of other people. Smith moral philosophy suggest that people are social actors and their satisfaction as individuals depends on other happiness, moreover he claims that people are design in this way by nature.

Amalia took a deep breath. And opened her eyes. I'm here again. A gentle, wind began to flit through her hair. It slowly morphed to water. How peculiar. Then it was wind. Then water. The gaps between the water sped up until there was no air. She was drowning. She tried to breath, but water was the only thing there. She clawed at the water around her, trying to swim, trying to get out, trying to breathe. Her vision blurred, her heart felt like lead in her chest, her fingers went numb. She needed to breathe. She brushed a wrinkled finger against a soft fur. She tried to grab it, but all that was left of the once delicate fur was sharp needles. They scratched her hand, causing blood to blossom through the water, staining the deep cobalt a crimson violet. Help me, she tried to scream. But the glacial water had numbed her voice, and all that escaped her mouth were the last bubbles of air. They floated gracefully to the surface, but Amalia was gone before they could touch the misty morning air.
