Who Are We As Humans?

Throughout history, the human race has always had constants in how the world functions; love, hate, war, life, death, and at the base of it all, free will. Without free will, life would have no meaning, there would be nothing special about anyone on this earth and the fact that every single person on this earth has a say in everything that they do is what makes life itself beautiful. Elie Wiesel once stated, “…action is the only remedy for indifference: the most insidious danger of them all.” Mr. Wiesel’s statement is true when he says that indifference is a danger and that taking action is a good way to fix it, but his statement is also wrong because it does not take into account human free will and that when people

People shouldn’t limit their views, but they should limit how to express it and disagree each other with respect. No one chose his/her own race, ethnic origin, disability, or gender at birth. Human just born as

In a perfect world, everyone WOULD be judged based on the content of their character. But we do not live in a perfect world and humans have always pre-judged others based on physical and cultural differences. These are the first things we notice about a stranger, and first impressions are hard to forget. Racism and prejudice have caused us to make dire mistakes in the past, but we have learned from these mistakes and have bettered our society. However, society today is filled with stereotypes and prejudices about people of certain races. It

Our obsession with judging our fellow man rather than trying to understand him as well as our penchant for creating smokescreens to cover the real issues are ripping out our hearts and trampling our souls. We live in an enlightened time, but yet we stand guard at the gates of yesterday protecting a past that has little to offer but distrust, anger, hurt, and alienation from our fellow man. We live in a society of non-discriminatory intolerance. We live in a society often unwilling to acknowledge the truth behind its sins or that it has sinned. As a people, we are quick to denunciate but slow to act and take responsibility. Regardless of the color of our skin, we have embraced intolerance to the point that it has become our norm, and it is that intolerance that now lays siege to all that we love and care for as a nation.

For years, our country prided itself on being called the melting pot of culture and diversity; when in all honesty, we are not what we claimed to be. The citizens of the United States judge everyone based on differences that are not

People do not respect others for who they are. Race and religious persecution remain a large conflict of the value of human worth. Personalities are easy to judge. It is entirely wrong to judge someone based on their religious practices or their race. However, the one thing that makes America great is the freedom that we have without conflict. We are a nation of expression and diversity. Religious freedom is exceedingly rare in other parts of the world. As a nation, we should not take for granted our ability to practice the religion of our choosing. The same issues of civil rights, racism, and persecution of human society in the 1950s that tore apart and divided the country are the same things that divide our nation today. Skin color, religion, sexuality, age, gender, and even political affiliation are many factors that put people into different groups. People have the ability to choose whom they want to be and what they want to believe. Society can agree or disagree on the issues. An individual's way of life is not detrimental how others should treat them. A person is a person, and everybody deserves the same love, admiration, and respect. The representation of our daily lives has a direct effect on society, and how we choose to live shows who we are as

People tend to judge each other based on their ethnicity or religion. Certain groups of people shouldn’t be limited or less valued because of the way they look, or their religion. Trumps immigration law is discrimination against certain religions and countries.

Moreover, in modern times Italian American families are often quite proud of their culture.You mentioned the same statement in your own post. The Greek American families have

What does your family want from you in terms of traditions that you are expected to uphold on account of your ethnic background?

What makes us humans? Ask science, and we may receive a straightforward lesson on anatomy, but if we ponder the question deeper, we eventually find that it is actually a variety of intrinsic properties that define who we are as humans. In the novel “1984,” George Orwell enlightens us to what these qualities are and pushes us to decide whether the people of Oceana that lack these qualities are even human. The core characteristics of humanity as we know it are humor, imagination, spirituality, sexuality, and rebelliousness. This leads us back to Orwell’s question; do the mindless people of Oceana truly have what it takes to be human? To this, the answer is no.

Is there a family get-together that everyone attends? Do you and your family have certain rules about eating together? Are you allowed to be on your phone? Or do you all hang out on a sunday together? Culture is what brings so many families close together.

One problem humans have now is that they judge people about their race, religion, or what they look like. Candy was judged or wasn’t treated right because he was a black man; “ Cause I’m black. They play cards in there, but I can’t play because I’m black”. Now in America, people are judged by opinionated people because of what they believe in, their sexuality, or just anything humans can pick out that is different about a person. This

Many Americans are very judgmental. Not all but most of them are. Not everyone is treated equal in this country. Whether it’s because of their religion, gender, race, sexuality, or they have a disability. People can’t control what characteristics they are given and it is ridiculous that they are judged because of them. Discrimination is a big problem in America. Discrimination is too common of an occurrence in America. A stereotype does not truly indicate who a person is on the inside. Religious discrimination involves treating a person unfair because of his or her religious beliefs (Religious Discrimination, pg. 1). Religious discrimination can also involve treating someone differently because that person is married to someone of a particular

Throughout Twain’s essay The Lowest Animal he assesses the human condition in relation to other animals. His discussion evaluates the role of humans as they are placed at the top of the evolutionary list, comparing them to animals usually placed below. During the essay, Twain uses social, political and economic examples to demonstrate the selfish nature of humans, more so than any animals. Based on Twain’s analysis throughout The Lowest Animal and examples concurrent with today’s society, it is accurate to state that humans are morally inferior to other animals.

By no means has humanity ever appeared simplistic. No philosopher has ever defined humanity with ease and no theologist with pleasure. Always multifaceted, rarely quixotic, and commonly a source of momentous curiosity, humanity provides the intrinsic designs for the world at large. Society, culture, and life as the world’s inhabitants know it today originate from the nebulosity that is humanity. Peculiar and difficult to pin down, the definition of humanity encapsulates boundless concepts that intertwine and overlap, skewing individualized definitions to make them subjective instead of objective and, consequently, making humanity itself harder to define. Attributes that span the globe and apply to nearly all forms of society, however, include the mental capacity of intelligence, the ability to communicate, and the capacity for emotion. Combined, one way or another, these attributes imbibe humanity with its most essential meaning. Furthermore, considering the novels 1984 by George Orwell, Brave New World by Aldous Huxley, and Out of the Silent Planet by C.S. Lewis can enable oneself to envision the possible desolation of humanity in the circumstances prospected by each novel. Destined to perish due to a paucity of the attributes that make it humane, the society’s future in 1984 looks the bleakest. Brave New World appears to be poorly off as well; however, Weston, Devine, and Ransom from Out of the Silent Planet share the most promising
