Human

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…

A human, a primate species that walks the face of the Earth, is defined by the complex emotions that they produce, otherwise unachievable by other species. Human emotions are still a mystery to most people, by seeing how quickly we are able to change to one emotion to another. The fact we are even able to be able to have all of these emotions is remarkable. As researchers dig deeper they find out unique or emotions are and many other things that are able to categorize us as humans. Sympathy is…

perspectives and standards. Regarding development and Human rights relation, Nelson and Dorsey (2003) identify three trends––a rights-based approach to development, collaborative campaigning by human rights and development NGOs, and the adoption of economic rights orientation by human rights groups––that are the substance of the growing interaction (pp.2014). When we approach to development, the implementation should focus on the human needs and human sufferings affected by man-made disaster,…

place like that will not exist in current conditions. “The illegal practice of procuring or trading in human beings for the purpose of prostitution, forced labor, or other forms of exploitation” has been occurring over the world for the longest time (Dictionary.com). As over 80,000 people are trafficked each year, it has become a $9 billion annually global industry (“Human Trafficking Program”). Human trafficking has been a concern that has been debated over by world leaders relating to the…

Human potential is a concept that many theorists of Psychology have suggested is innate in our nature as human beings. As humans, we are designed to grow and maximize our capacity to develop. Do we have access to attainable possibility’s simply from being? If we are given a certain set of circumstances, do we gravitate towards success? Of course, it makes sense that if humans are given opportunities, we strive to excel and exceed expectations. Is this in our nature or is it learned? Is there a…

Pushing Boundaries of Human Enhancement through Cellular Reprogramming By definition, human nature is the different characteristics (thinking, attitude, feelings) created in ourselves by God. Many scholars and philosophers approach the concept of human nature by using different schools of thought. For instance, the Buddhists’ opinion about human nature is to be conscious and to aspire. Whereas Judeo-Christian’s point of view is that humans are God’s creation that has free willpower providing…

The future of mankind may be changed by whether or not human cloning is successful. Human cloning is carried out by using the DNA present in the cells provided by one human being. The DNA from the donor is then chemically manipulated to function like a new human egg, which will mature into a human, assuming it survives. This is contrary to the natural process of human reproduction, in which two parents are involved. Human cloning used to reproduce is called reproductive cloning, and cloning used…

Human intelligence has posed a problem that might prove be the tragic flaw in our very existence. With our intelligent brains and technological advances, we are able to do more than simply survive and carry on the human race. We are able to ponder and wonder and think. This leads to self reflection, deeper interaction with others, and levels of confusion and frustration. The human condition, as defined by Moss and Korman in Biology and the Human Condition, is most simply put as the underlying…

Human nature, after exploring the notion more deeply, seems to suggest that it is more complex than at first glance. Humans, according to the majority of social psychologists, love to simplify ideas into categories or groups leaving the concept of human nature as no exception. Yet, by examining human nature as we have for centuries, we are now shifting our rigid ideas of this concept. Human nature can be viewed as a network web, stringing ideas together in a very intertwine way; such as how…

Testing The second example of human speciesism toward nonhuman species is with experimentation and testing for products and scientific research. There are lists of companies that test mice, rats, rabbits and dogs for cosmetics and other cleaning items. Scientists research on nonhuman animals to study disease and test new treatments and operations. We are discriminating other species when we mutilate their bodies for profit because we would not experiment and test on other humans. The Plague…
