The concept of personhood (who is a person within a society) is the fundamental component of any selective concept of people. A distinction is maintained in philosophy and law between the notions "human being", or "man", and "person". The former refers to the species, while the latter refers to a rational agent (see, for example, John Locke's Essay concerning Human Understanding II 27 and Immanuel Kant's Introduction to the Metaphysic of Morals). Central issues of interest to people are the understanding of the human condition and the meaning of life, and survival. Religion, philosophy, and science show or represent modes and aspects of inquiry which attempt to investigate and understand the nature, behavior, and purpose of people. Sociology, economics, and politics represent modes by which people investigate how to maximize a collective survival strategy. Islam recognizes the People of the Book as members of monotheistic faiths founded upon revelation related to its own faith. By contrast, in Judaism, the Jews are often said to be the chosen people, a concept modified by the Christian doctrine of the Elect. From Wikipedia under the

I visited Cleveland last June and really enjoyed myself there. Before planning my trip, I read a couple a travel books and a few personal opinions on a travel site of people who had visited. Quite a few people regarded it as being a dirty city that offered visitors few entertainment sites; however, when I visited I found it to be a really beautiful city--much cleaner than most! Just wondering what people on yahoo answers have to say about Cleveland. Also, not topic related, but, I saw a UFO in Cleveland; that became the highlight of my trip. Asked by David K - Wed Mar 26 01:43:04 2008 - - 1 Answers - 2 Comments A. I've spent quite a bit of time in Cleveland, as my husband has had 2 surgeries requiring extended stays at Cleveland Clinic. Which is one of the best hospitals I've ever seen, by the way. Downtown Cleveland is rather nice. We liked walking around by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Science Center on the water. And restaurant row has some surprisingly good places. We liked the downtown stadium too -- convenient. Nearby Chagrin Falls was a cute town to visit as a day trip. All in all, it's not a bad place to visit for a while. However, driving from downtown to the hospital, we did pass through some less than desirable areas. But all cities have such areas, so we didn't pay much attention. No UFO's for us, sorry.

Q. It makes me sick when I hear about people profiting from breeding animals while adding to the out-of-control homeless pet population in the United States. There are so many great pets waiting for homes in shelters that have less of a chance because people insist on breeding animals. Does anyone else see these breeders as selfish people out to make a buck at the expense of our country's homeless pets? I have adopted: 2 dogs, 2 ferrets, and 2 birds from animal shelters and every animal I ever have will be adopted from a shelter!! I think it is justifiable to say that breeders contribute to the homelss pet population because for every animal that is bought from a breeder, one less animal is adopted from a shelter. I ve spent several years… [cont.] Asked by Froggy78 - Fri Jan 26 23:27:46 2007 - - 39 Answers - 0 Comments A. I agree 100% It's a sad thing. The best thing you can do is adopt a pet from a shelter. That's where mine came from, and they're the best! Answered by true blue - Fri Jan 26 23:31:04 2007 From Yahoo Answer Search: "People" Quotes about people Sourced
