Humans are people but.. are People Humans?

So, I would ask your professor if the simple minded who needed help living their daily lives were not human? Or a child of tender years who still needs the guidance of parents and teachers, are they not human? What about the elderly who suffer from Alzheimer's disease or stroke, are they not human? I believe that from conception on... each of us are human. And our humanity is seen in how we treat those who have not gained 'knowledge' or cannot live on their own. Thanks for letting me respond.

Your teacher is wrong. Human is a biological term, we are all humans who have human DNA but not all humans can be said to be a person. A human raised with animals may not a person. To be a person entails being part of a language using community because it is that, which engenders in the individual sufficient conceptual development to have an understanding that they are a being with a future and a past and we might add that their actions may affect that future. Are all people human? Perhaps not, an intelligent alien might be said to be a person but clearly they are not human. Perhaps, it might be argued that animals kept as pets are people? all the best urban

We are all humans and we are all evolving at our own speed. There is nothing right or wrong in the universe. All elements and all creatures have their own place and have a role to fulfill. Having the advantage of being at a different pedestal gives us some interesting perspectives. We need to enjoy each perspective.

hello rj, we maybe all people but being human have a lot of meanings and can't be just because they're human physically but also mentally and with purpose in life. some people are just nothing more than a barbaric prck and just enjoys in the benefits of being a human but not humane with other fellow human being..
