Human nature
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For other uses, see Human nature (disambiguation).
Human nature is the concept that there is a set of inherent distinguishing characteristics, including ways of thinking, feeling and acting, that humans tend to have.
The question of what causes these distinguishing characteristics of humanity and how fixed human nature is (e.g. nature versus nurture) has important implications in ethics, politics and theology because they are seen as providing standards or norms that humans can use when judging how best to live. The complex implications of such discussion are often themes which are dealt with in [[art].
The branches of science associated with the study of human nature include sociology, sociobiology and psychology, particularly evolutionary psychology and developmental psychology.
Ok...I think I can check this one off, cause I R Human.
Kindness.......Grrrrrr. This is a tough one. I think I am pretty kind....but thinking you are kind and being kind are two different things. Kindness is judged from the outsider not the giver. OMG! I am not kind! How devastating! I shall pray each night for more kindness. I shall bite my tongue. Ouch. It's a humbling experience finding out someone thinks of you as un-kind. It hurts. Makes me want to get defensive. But I hear my grandma's voice "you don't hate people. period. You may hate what they do, but you don't hate people." Thanks grandma! You are right.
If anyone has some helpful hints on how I might be more kind, please pass them on to me. I need some help!
