If we are human then why we don't act to injustices and behave like animals? We are responsible for the global warming, for poverty, and so on. How come we are responsible for so many bad things and yet we say that we are human beings?

Whatever we do, by definition, is human.

Evidently so, given humans do it, and animals don't.

You should listen to the song 'are we human' by The Killers from the album'Day and Age'.It really explains your discussion.It explained what we were supposed to be and what we have become. 'Human' is a word which is used to describe a person who is true in all sense of life.It is a word to describe someone great.. Really tough to describe..

Hey really a good topic. Yes we are human and at the same time selfish becaue of which we don't care of any other things which don't affect us directly or in short term. The view is really very narrow of today's human being and even I am one of them. The only thing which I have thought of as of now and trying to practice the same since some time that , if we want to change the world we need to start from ourselves. First try to do the things which we want others to da and if everyone will think like that, I dont this it will take time to change the things around us. But how many people will take this as serious thing and how many people will tell this as foolishness I don't know.

Thank you babshish, the more we see others do bad things, the more we are afraid of the consequences.

I think that all these things are very human and it can only be done by human. No one said that human beings have to be all nice, kind and civilised anyway. If we are not being called 'human beings' than what should we be called as?

We are human, and we are animals. The greater majority of us live in only our small perspective of the world, unaware of the total impact of our existence on our environment. Everything in our basic ethics are derived from animalistic survival instincts, from our sense of justice and security to social interaction. The quest now is to be more than human, to move on toward divine.

We are human who by nature are really very selfish. We cry against inhumanity while we execute some of the most inhumane acts in the name of advancement and wealth seeking. Somehow in practice that seems to define the human more than the written word.

We are definitely human, but we are divided into different category, some are wicked, some are cruel ,some are smart, some are good, some are bad n etc...... global warming is caused by electric generating ,vehicle n airplane manufacturers , killing is done by soldiers( some are justified; some not) but generally speaking , it not "we" did all these bad things, it is the work of those human belong to the 'cruel' n 'bad' category.

Yes, we are all human. As humans, we have the power of choice. We choose what we deem important in this world. The problem comes when man choose money above all else. Couldn't the entire energy system be green?? COSTS MONEY! Couldn't we feed everyone in this world??? COSTS MONEY!! We can print money for crooked banks but not for hungry people. Sounds right to everyone???? This world has alot of learning and growing to do. Til then, I guess we have to live with the growing pains and keep the truth out there.

In my opinion, human are the complete and perfect form of God's creation. We have the power over other creation and we are the biggest population in this world. That's why we can make things good and destroy it as well.
