Human Nature

In the history of human societies, geographic differences are considered to be a factor that led to different lifestyles, values and beliefs that prevailed and have been the distinct characteristic of specific societies in the world today. From a broader viewpoint, it can be said that Asian cultures differ from North American, European, South American, and African cultures. However, it can also be said that there are similarities between North American, European, and African cultures, in the same way that Asian, South American, and again, African cultures share specific values and beliefs. These similarities and differences demonstrate that we are different from each other in so many ways, but we also have similarities that link each individual with another, and ultimately, that we are interdependent with each other.

Human nature is evil with motives behind everything, the lacking of care for others, and the taking advantage of others.

We all have differences and similarities between one another. Both similarities and differences can have advantages and disadvanteges. For example, “the medicine Bag” by Virginia driving hawk Sneve, and Apaches Girls Rite of passes video by Nation geographic do have their similarity and differences. However, each one does one advantage and disadvangatge to help us undertsnad each one in different ways.

The western way of life aided the individual, and was much more than a lawless frontier. Westerns serve as romances of the great frontier, reminiscing on the progress and opportunity both the individual and nation had. Westerners were faced with a new opportunity bearing uncertainty and a vast importance placed upon individualism, and the principles of human nature affected the outcomes of western law, society, and government. Human nature guided the western way of life and served as the backbone of various aspects of the land seen in the laws and government. Human nature is revealed within the state of nature. The West was nothing more than a constant state of nature, which represented a state of perfect freedom and equality for westerners.

In Genesis the word of God leads humanity in the direction of self preservation, urging them to procreate, to ”Be fruitful and multiply” (Genesis 9:1), and to minimize hostility and violence among people. As Freud asserted, “Besides the instinct to preserve living substance and join it into ever larger units, there must exist another, contrary instinct seeking to dissolve those units and bring them back to their primeval, inorganic state” (Freud 77). Genesis exemplifies the struggle between the two opposing human instincts, with God acting as a moderator between them. Forms of justice are put into place in an attempt to control these drives, one example being the proclamation that “Whoever sheds the blood of a human, by a human shall that person’s blood be shed” (Genesis 9:6). The ethics and laws that develop throughout Genesis seek to “prevent the crudest excesses of brutal violence” but are unable to control “the more cautious and refined manifestations of human aggressiveness” (Freud 70). Since they cannot be completely eradicated, the scriptures instead play into the more negative aspects of human nature, especially narcissism, and manipulate them into a force for conservation rather than annihilation.

Human nature by essence has been the cause of many entrepreneurial paths, all follow to known the essence itself behind of what we conceive as life. Moreover it’s righteous description and abstract content, that many great man has humbly studied and that for centuries have made a path closely enough to the understanding of it, yet far from the light, it seems to be and unsolvable question that gives us a “Raison d'être” to our existence in this world.

Even the similarities that can be encountered in different cultures does not necessarily mean that they followed the same line development. They can also be developed independently from each other as a result of biological human needs as the case of marriage, which is a global phenomenon with different specificities but that has appeared in different circumstances and ways and not as a result of unilineal

In a metaphor, the evolution of civilization is in many ways similar to the evolution of flight. A long story made brief – both required multiple attempts, before they were able to function sustainably. Just as the engineers in the big firms which produce the machines – Airplanes and Helicopters – used for flight, are constantly attempting to improve upon their products, we as members of our respective societies are always looking for better, faster and cheaper ways to sustain ourselves. Civilization requires three main ‘materials’ if you will; Politics – the role of the state and political organization, the spokesperson promoting the idea that might is right, Economics – the production, exchange and economic organization of society. The

There are monsters on this island and they look just like you, they will try to make you think the animals are the monsters, but they’re lying to you. The fact is, the humans on the island are the actual monsters, they just represent different aspects of human nature. The ugly side of humanity that most try to ignore is all too prevalent in the form of the beast men who are the result of this depravity. The true monster of the island is human nature, which is revealed through three different representations: Moreau, Prendick, and Montgomery.

Culture itself is a complex topic with multiple definitions ranging from the organic to the mechanical, the natural to the manufactured. In a world composed of different groups, we see many variations of culture. Cultural universals are traits, patterns, and elements that transcend specific groups and can be applied to all known cultures (Macionis 2014). This idea implies that mankind and its multiple cultures are interconnected by patterns of fulfilling human needs that occur on a global scale. Specific examples of cultural universals extend from medicine to the family unit. Though anthropologists and sociologists have found support for the existence of cultural universals, the idea of these universal aspects of culture still draw criticism from critical and postmodern scholars and by individuals who ascertain cultural universals are in a natural state of opposition with cultural relativism.

This paper will focus on the similarities and differences in cultures and how it relates to human resilience, struggles and faith. The purpose of this paper is to highlight the effects that culture, race, and class have on human behaviors and beliefs. The cross culture countries of analysis will be Guyana and Portugal which are situated at two opposite ends of the world. One major difference is Guyana, which is located in South America and Portugal in Southwestern Europe. Which makes this comparison even more compelling? With worlds so distant, one might expect to have fewer similarities. But as I began to categorize the similarities and difference on chart exhibit A, I was pleasantly surprised with the commonalities. First I developed a chart and compare the similarities and differences, which are listed above.

An entire generation in Cold War Soviet Russia was born to a nuclear bomb, raised under the constant threat of war, and seemed doomed to suffocate by their own government, until they were emancipated by a life force that was as formidable as unlikely a savior. This paper discusses the role of the Beatles and their music in the cultural, political and social revolutions that took place Cold War Russia. Drawing upon various conversations and anecdotes that Leslie Woodhead discusses in his 2013 book ‘How The Beatles Rocked the Kremlin’, this paper attempts to also understand how contemporary Russia has evolved to carry with herself the revolutionary spirit of the Beatles.

As we know, different people from different country or region have different characteristics which depend on place they live, climate and what they eat. Since the culture difference appeared, each group of people’s perspective of value will not be the same, such as—achievements.

This reading is about the natural instinct that everyone has. It is a survival tactic to react to a situation that can be life threating. Most people do not realize that it is a way to survive but sometime it also turns into a bad thing, since black people were free from slavery, they were all deemed as a bad people. Our instinct then tells us that it black people are bad people. It is a fact that being black make any black people a dangerous individual. It is true that most robbery are done by black people, but that does not mean that all black people are bad people. It was worse than it is today, he talked about being chase down the hall because he was black, people immediately assumed that he was a thief, or an individual that is dangerous.

Human nature and the mind have been studied for ages. As humans, we think, feel, and act in certain ways which are often elucidated by nature and evolution. Throughout history, psychologists, philosophers, and scientists extensively studied human nature and the mind to develop theories about why humans act, think, and feel the way that we do. Some people believe humans are how they are due to nature. People tend to think that human beings are born one of three ways: naturally good, naturally evil, or neutral.
