How can we define humanity and inhumanity today? How does humanity affect a civilization.?

I have to write a paper on this topic. It would be great if you can give me any ideas. Thanks.
How can we define humanity and inhumanity today? How does humanity affect a civilization.?
Humanity is respecting other human beings and not committing genocide.





Inhumanity is committing genocide on your fellow man/woman.
How can we define humanity and inhumanity today? How does humanity affect a civilization.?
Humanity is what inspires a culture to worry about it%26#039;s lowest members. So a society that likes giving tax cuts to the rich and corporations while taking $$ away from programs for the needy is a society that is low on the humanity scale.
Reply:Humanity is the characteristic of being human or human-like


So inhumanity is the exact opposite...it is quality of not being human, being animalistic....





That leads to a question though, what constitutes as a human?





And for the sake of the argument we are going to skip physiological characteristics and just move on to mental and ethical characteristics...





As humans we are inclined to help and support other humans, we are sentient: we are capable of emotion, empathy, and perception, we are an intelligent species: we can create tools, solve problems, and discuss our thoughts, we create bonds with other humans: families and friends, we think not only ourselves, but also other humans, we are creative: we are able to create and appreciate music, art, and other aesthetics, etc...





So we have defined, to some extent, what constitutes as a human being, now we must use the term humanity in respect to civilization...





A civilization, in a broad definition, is a society with an advanced level of culture and social organization...So with that being said...In respect to humanity, all civilizations we know of are human...





What does this mean? It means that civilization itself is dependent on the fact that its very infrastructure is human-based, ergo, if there are no humans, then there is no civilization...





So humanity is essential to the process of civilization, if humans lose humanity, then we cannot be called humans, therefore, there will be no civilization...





Hope that answers your question...
Reply:in Humanity is the human species, human nature (e.g.compassion, altruism) and the human condition (the totality of experience of existing as a human). It is also the study of one branch of the humanities, academic disciplines which study the human condition using analytic, critical, or speculative methods.





while Inhumanity is the debut album of Finnish melodic death metal band Mors Principium Est. It was first released in 2003 and later reissued in 2006 with new artwork and three bonus tracks.








hope you like my answer
