Human Qualities

 

            
             Everybody has their own aspect as to what makes them human. They all contribute different factors to what made them who they are today. They can name a numerous amount of experiences that have helped them form their sense of identity. We all have our own unique characteristics and personalities that make us different from the next guy. The question is how did we develop these different characteristics and personalities? Were we born with them or did we acquire them? Sociologists have found an answer to these questions. They believe that there are two main qualities that contribute to the development of these characteristics and to the nature of us as human beings in general.
             The first quality is based on the fact that human beings are social creatures. We interact with a large number of people on a daily basis. Our lives are somehow linked to the lives of others. The second quality that sociologist contribute to the making of a human being is that we are cultural. We are brought up in an environment that shapes our identity. We are not who we have become to be because of our so called animal instincts, but because of all the ideas values and rules that we are taught to obey in our society. Not only are these two qualities the core of what sociologists believe to make us human, they are both correlated. One must exist to ensure the existence of the other. The culture that we have developed for ourselves arose from our social life and there would be no way to continue our social life if there was not a culture to base it on. .
             These two qualities have allowed human beings to exist all these years and are very crucial to our survival. Human beings have always been socialized and dependent of others. Humans need others for their very survival, from when they are infants to their very old age. To help them survive physically and to back them up with emotional support as well.
