Who We Are As Human Beings

Abstract

This work is about who we are as human beings, but we will focus on Mexicans. What does “human” mean? Humans only exist? Or live? If you want to find the answers of those questions, keep reading and you will find them with us. The dictionary gives us the meaning of human, which “is a member of the genus Homo and especially of the species H. sapiens” and for human being it give us “amember of any of the races of Homo sapiens; person; man, woman, or child” (Encyclopedic Dictionary, 1999; ENCYCLOPÆDIA BRITANNICA PIBLISHERS, INC.). Human being is very complex, and it can’t be described in a few words; so the essay will help us to find a better meaning for human and human being. “Exist” and “live” have confusing meanings, for example it may mean the same thing. If one lives, oneexists. Life is existence. As long as a person is living, the existence of a being is always there. Only death can stop a person from living. But searching about the meaning this idea has changed, because we have different points of view about their meanings. Humans have existed for many centuries, have gone through different periods, this has made each generation of humans will change, either intheir customs, traditions, knowledge, skills, beliefs and thoughts. Every human being is different, since not all have the same ideas and the same thoughts, this makes the human being is unique in its kind. Humans have always wondered who we are; who or what create us, which is the reason to live. Each person can define it, all you have to clear is who they really are, eitherby experience or education, each person chooses to do with his life and live it. There are many theories about the creation of human beings, either science or religion, there are too many theories on existentialism, but only man can believe what they want. Every human being has a reason to live, here are some of those reasons, to live life, define who you are, that God has given me the miracle of life, to live all theexperiences you can and learn from them, to teach generations following the right path of life, to live with friends or family, to love somebody, to raise a family or to meet all my purposes or dreams, there are many reasons, but the important thing is that everyone knows has a reason to live.

“Life has not been done to understand it, but to live.”Jorge Santayana (1863-1952) Spanish philosopher and writer.

Human Beings

This work focuses on different topics that are part of being human, as their beliefs, values​​, rights, responsibilities, health (physical, mental, social and spiritual) and relationships (family, friends, communities and culture).
We are also social creatures, the most social on earth. Our lives depend on other humans. Human babies are born unable to transport orcare for themselves. Human survival depends on another human's efforts. The ways we deal with each other, from personal to international relationships, can have as much an influence on our behavior as our instinctive reactions. Man needs to be part of a society; nobody can live alone, because everybody needs to everyone. Not for nothing do we say that a person is alive as long as he is living forothers.
Convictions
First we see that is the conviction, the conviction is something you believe, an idea close to the excitement and matured through constant reflection, eventually becomes conviction.
The convictions are the personality structure and determine the direction of life. The convictions should be logical and adapted to reality; otherwise it becomes fanaticism and intolerance.
Theconviction is active and tends to result in action. Is strengthened by the reflection, with time and experience success. Everyone is free to form their own convictions; no one has the right to influence the same, whether in religion, ethics or politics. The convictions will be altered or influenced by different means or persons. Beliefs give us personality traits that can be shared with...
