26 January 2015 Humanity Analysis Survey Conclusion
Humanity has existed for 30,000 years and evolved into the most advanced species of the world, consisting of over 7 billion people. Mankind over the years have been struggling to maintain itself in order to secure its future.. The main question is: Are we, as a whole, able to survive by being selfish, indifferent, choosing our own path and stall future advancements, or by being selfless, paying heed to those around us, be like “sheep” and work together to unfold a new era of western civilization? The true answer lies within the actions of the beings of this world. In order to fully determine the answer of the question, one must observe each person’s opinion of mankind’s characteristic and behavior individually. In this essay, I will be explaining and accentuating the details on people’s personal opinions on mankind’s behavior and the decorum of humanities interests. In order to achieve desired data, I have conducted a survey interviewing 35 individuals with three questions; Is man essentially indifferent to the suffering of others, or no? Are humans
“sheep” who follow others, or do we follow our own path in life? Are humans basically selfish and selfless? Data showed that out of 35 individuals, 54.3% of participants state that man is not indifferent, 76.47% saying that humans are sheep and roughly 88.5% stating that man is selfish and self­righteous. Judging by the results, you can conclude that most people say that man is selfish and sheep­like people but is not indifferent. Therefore, the survey shows that peoples

opinions are optimistic, but not to the point where survival of the fittest is kicked, to the part where 31 individuals have agreed to the

    Many people argue that human are naturally cruel while some say no one is born with cruelty in them. After reading “The Perils of Obedience”, The Kitty Genovese Case”, and Darley and Latane’s experiments, I realized that humans acts based upon the situation and people around them in a case of emergency. Humans sometimes get confused on whether they should care about the crises or others will take care of it.…

Military manliness dictates that a man must be strong, both physically and mentally, a man must be unfeeling and must be loyal to their fellow commrades. Men must show a certain level of respect for women but never acknowledge them as equal.…

    We've gone far on the planet, we have traveled to places for survival, hunting & using our knowledge to get us where we are. We are one of the most advanced and smartest of mammals. We are… humans. We started out in the place you'd least expect and by doing so, we depended on whatever the earth gave us. With that, our beliefs formed, and we worshipped what we thought had life. We stayed together in tight groups, protecting one another… until we spread. Within the separation, we meet new dangers and obstacles such as harsh weather, new edible specimens of food, and we even came up with new ideas. For the past 50,000 years human society has changed our location, thoughts, and inventions. And through this we've managed to stay alive.…

    In Paul Theroux’s reading Being a Man, it is stated that man can be categorized as stupid, arrogant, and much like pre-historic cavemen. Theroux continued to say that if someone were born as a man, there would be limits of what he is physically, emotionally, and mentally capable of. His highly personal view of how men act relates to a time when men were expected to aspire to be the so-called perfect man. The stereotypical perfect man is theoretically defined as brash, built, strong, athletic, and overall a poor loser when it involves any form of competition. It is also claimed that the typical man should be stupid, unfeeling, obedient, and ultimately soldierly. Theroux argued that these qualities eventually create poor husbands, sadists, and potentially rapists. Although this could happen, it is very unlikely that the majority of men with those characteristics will end up malicious and violent like Theroux stated.…

    After observing Homo Sapiens in operation over a number of generations, and its idiosyncratic blend of primate animal instinctuality with incipient intelligent spiritual sensitivity, the Star Visitors were dissatisfied with the intelligence level of their hybrid, and decided to proceed further with an additional genetic engineering upgrade. The result was what Earth anthropologists label Homo Sapiens Sapiens, modern humankind. This penultimate bit of bioengineering occurred approximately 130,000 years…
