    What defines us as humans? Calling ourselves human is our way of categorizing ourselves as a superior species.  Although we are distinctly different‚ we should accept that we are in the same family as chimpanzees. Acknowledging that fact doesn ’t mean you are calling yourself a chimp. For example‚ a dog isn ’t a wolf even though they are from the same family. We are humans.

    Parsons Psychology 101 George Gerbner argues that perception of reality can best be explained using the five senses. He states that “Our sense make up who we are.” I tend to agree.
