Does Society Makes us Human? Society has a way of conforming us. Society has put out rules for us to follow. Yet the thought process has been in existence longer then society. I do not believe that society makes us human. Thinking makes us human because without thinking we would not have the basic structure that is society.

People with mental challenges are more likely to be discriminated and labels tend

"The Author to Her Book" A writer has to have a certain amount of passion about their work. In the case of Anne Bradstreet in her poem "The Author to Her Book‚" compares a writer and their work to a mother and her child. As you read the poem you can see how she compares the growth of her work to the growth of a child. The first two lines of the poem show a motherly comparison by the words offspring and birth.

“Gender: Balance in Human Society” Gender defines an individual whether it be a human or any other organism since birth.

In my opinion its a word created by us humans to rise a discrimination between men and women but in the natural sense the words the word should
