    a question that reflects the whole human race and what it means to be a human being. What it means to be a human being is not just having a face‚ eyes‚ heart‚ or being able to drive a car‚ or to own a house. Being a human being is much more than that‚ deeper and more passionate.

    become a human “in being”? Discuss. When a foetus is killed in the womb it cannot be a victim of homicide although other statutory (offences) exist. Therefore‚ for a human to become a person “in being”‚ the child must be wholly expelled from the mother while having a separate existence from her. In Enoch ‚ if a child is breathing before it has been born‚ that does not necessarily constitute life to make the killing of such a child murder. In fact‚ for the foetus to be considered a human “in being”‚ there

    In my opinion I agree with the view of human character from which the Iroquois portray in this myth. The world is separated in two. One world is the crooked mind and the other is the straight mind‚ like the left-handed twin and the right-handed twin. To me the world is separated into good and evil. The good is basically the straight mind. For example someone that helps someone out with his or her homework is doing an act of kindness‚ which is labeled as a good person. Also for example some one that
