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.

Why do people ignore or deny the existence of decent black people?
Q. Why is it that when the few black people that some people know are those rude, uneducated inner-city ghetto folk on welfare, they insist that every black is like that? There are some good and educated black people out there, but some of you people always just disregard them just because there are bad ghetto thugs! Why insist that blacks that can do anything nice and useful are like Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy? What about black people like astronomer Neil deGrasse Tyson? Why not make fun of the English instead?
Asked by Bruce McDonald - Mon May 4 12:13:04 2009 - - 15 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Bruce ... I will give you my answer. I hope you and everyone who reads this will understand what I'm trying to say. First off ... no one on this entire planet will ever meet the majority of people in either group. Whites, Blacks, Indian (both Native American and those who live in the country of India or Pakistan) nor any other group of people. How is it possible for anyone to say that all people of (insert group here) heritage/culture are like this or like that when they can't possibly see them all let alone meet them all. Out of the tens of thousands of whites I have ever noticed ... the vast majority of them have been incredibly decent and kind people. In no way is it possible for all of them to be evil as many would say regardless… [cont.]

How do some people get to be fortunate enough to have work @ home jobs, & they don't help others get them?
Q. I mean, even if it ISN'T a home-based business. I hear how some people work @ home. How can some people be lucky like that if 97% of work @ home offers are scams? & for people who ARE successfully working from home, how come you can't tell anyone what you do & how you get access to such good job? I thought with business, you're supposed to recruit people & help them, too.
Asked by Question Queen on Royal Throne! - Sat Jul 26 12:13:16 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Because nobody actually has those work-at-home jobs, and legitimate business owners want their staff to show up to the workplace every day. The few people who do really work at home aren't just cruising the internet spamming message boards and posting AdWords. They're typing legal documents as a transcriptionist or paralegal, running their own home-based technical business or consultancy, or being brokers, bakers, etc. They have no use for a faraway home-based staff member who they're never going to meet.

How many people are questioned in a Top Secret clearance investigation?
Q. I'd like to go into an Army MOS which requires a Top Secret clearance security check. On the form, it requires an adult reference from each school I've attended and each place of business for which I've worked. Do they only question these people I list and my family, or do they talk to other people as well? As in, they talk to your reference, and get other names from that reference and then go talk to those other people.
Asked by GrayLink - Mon Jul 20 07:18:50 2009 - - 6 Answers - 0 Comments

A. You will be a lot happier in the Army doing a job you enjoy rather than doing a job you don't but you need a TS to do it. If you are thinking that if you have a TS you will have access to all sorts of top secret materials you are wrong. You will only have access to classified information required to do your job. There will be people that the investigators talk to that are not on your background paperwork. How many will vary depending upon how old you are, how honest you were on your answers in the questionnaire, adverse remarks made by those interviewed, how many places you have lived, travel to certain countries, relationships with foreigners, are a few things they investigate.

Quotes about people

Sourced

  • A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky, dangerous animals, and you know it.
  • Show me a man or a woman alone and I'll show you a saint. Give me two and they'll fall in love. Give me three and they'll invent the charming thing we call 'society'. Give me four and they'll build a pyramid. Give me five and they'll make one an outcast. Give me six and they'll reinvent prejudice. Give me seven and in seven years they'll reinvent warfare. Man may have been made in the image of God, but human society was made in the image of His opposite number, and is always trying to get back home.
    • Glen Bateman, The Stand (C&U), 3rd paragraph of Chapter 42, by Stephen King
  • I judge people by what they might be,—not are, nor will be.
  • The people will live on. The learning and blundering people will live on.
    • Carl Sandburg (1878–1967), American poet. The People, Yes (1936)

  • Ordinary people are as common as grass, but good people are dearer than the eye.
  • I love mankind; it's people I can't stand.
  • We have to continually be jumping off cliffs and developing our wings on the way down.
  • Our awareness is all that is alive and maybe sacred in any of us. Everything else about us is dead machinery.
