206 bones in the human body and approximately one and a half gallons of blood gives humans the ability to walk and talk. And while these are a very important part of the human being, these things alone don’t define us as human. For it is not our blood or bones, or even the ability to feel emotions such as love, that defines someone as a human, but it is the combination of these things paired with the ability to execute complex brain functions that sets humans apart from other organisms and…

What’s so special about being human? What makes us different from robots and other animals? These philosophical questions are by no doubt seemingly difficult to answer. Of course, the answer may differ for every individual, for it is a question that depends on one’s standard of being ‘human’. For instance, one might consider organisms that are merely biologically human as human, while others might accept organisms that have certain human characteristics as human. However, from the three…

We often associate non humans with animals and ponder on how humans are different from them. Angelina Jolie once mentioned, “The truth is I love being alive. And I love feeling free. So if I can't have those things then I feel like a caged animal...” To Jolie, she thinks that animals are all caged up, with no freedom. However, is that what non human really is? Non humans are in fact, beings not displaying the emotions, intelligence, etc., of human beings. Humans on the other hand, are beings…

Although all human beings deserve freedom, I believe that the statement, “Human beings are free except when humanity needs them……

Should there be a limit to the progression of human beings? This question is complicated not only because it implies we will always progress, but also because it raises the question of whether or not we should limit that progression. The rate at which the human species has progressed and advanced within only 200 years is absolutely phenomenal. We constantly find ways to improve our lives, technology, and welfare. While this is only natural, there has to be a reason we have advanced so much and…

In the frame narrative, Frankenstein, an aspiring scientist, Victor frankenstein, creates life out of death, but this life turns out being an abhorred creature, nothing like the creators intentions.

to know why you eat? You don’t need to have a reason to eat. You just eat when you are hungry. Do you need to know why you sleep? You just sleep at night without a particular reason. So, you don’t need a reason to eat, sleep or have sex. They are things that you do instinctively like animals do. However, apart from the instinctive life, we as human beings need to know who we are and why we live. Have you ever thought about why we live with a particular spouse, and why we meet particular friends…

Christians are, at their core, human beings. Therefore my attention is now turned to the doctrine of human beings. Guthrie 's analysis of the doctrine of human beings can perhaps best be summarized by 1 John 1:7, which reads, "but if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin." By dissecting this single verse, one can reach an understanding of all the aspects of human life, as defined by the…

Fundamental Needs of Human Beings: Materials: Fundamental Needs Charts We can use these charts in the classroom to study any group of people. The fundamental needs are central to our study of human beings. These charts are crucial to that study.
