What is Humanity?

What is Humanity? A broad question that at first may seem quite idiotic. Of course, we are humanity. But, how you define what humanity is? Humanity is and isn't at the same time. Everyone is different.

Indeed, we are all humans. But humanity and what it consists of and doesn't consist of is a very sensitive topic for many people. One person's version of what humanity is a probably very different from another person's view.

I am writing a story called "Humanity Overlooked". It is called this because, in the aftermath of a crime, the people investigating the crime and the media focus on racial issues instead of the humans affected.

Now that I think about it, what exactly is it overlooking? Is it overlooking humanity? I can call the story "Humanity Overlooked". But that title might not be true for every character. Some people overlook things everyday because they are closed-minded. Some of them won't change. It doesn't matter how many arguments or debates you have with them. They're not going to see the light. So, they are alread "overlooked".

I am not going to say that Humanity is doomed, but this notion that things are what they are bugs me. If people thought that way in 1920, women would not be able to vote. If people thought that way in the 1800s, there would not have been an abolotionists movement.

Sorry if I am in a rant.

I feel very strongly about human rights.
