The concept of personhood (who is a person within a society) is the fundamental component of any selective concept of people. A distinction is maintained in philosophy and law between the notions "human being", or "man", and "person". The former refers to the species, while the latter refers to a rational agent (see, for example, John Locke's Essay concerning Human Understanding II 27 and Immanuel Kant's Introduction to the Metaphysic of Morals). Central issues of interest to people are the understanding of the human condition and the meaning of life, and survival. Religion, philosophy, and science show or represent modes and aspects of inquiry which attempt to investigate and understand the nature, behavior, and purpose of people. Sociology, economics, and politics represent modes by which people investigate how to maximize a collective survival strategy. Islam recognizes the People of the Book as members of monotheistic faiths founded upon revelation related to its own faith. By contrast, in Judaism, the Jews are often said to be the chosen people, a concept modified by the Christian doctrine of the Elect. From Wikipedia under the

I live in a country where there are relics of saints.So I have more information than people that are not religious.Why many people are telling their opinion even thety don tknow much about it? Asked by Nicoleta T - Mon Mar 23 07:04:54 2009 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. Such individuals (archaeologists) do not believe in God hence they cannot believe in anything supernatural. However if we are not temples of the Holy Spirit what do we become temples for? These individuals that do not believe in God, better known as atheists, that have become temples of the unholy spirit, cannot rid themselves of the burning questions regarding the origins of life. They look for explanations from a purely human context following the erroneous theories of those who came before; individuals such as Darwin, Huxley and a host of others. Darwin would admit privately that there is no evidence to support his erroneous belief...that's why it remained as a theory. Huxley, on the other hand, a great supporter of Darwin, but much to… [cont.] Answered by allcreaturesgreatandsmall - Tue Mar 24 18:49:53 2009 How many people do you need to maintain genetic diversity? Q. Imagine that a group of people separates from the civilized world. How many different individuals would be needed to maintain genetic diversity, supposing that none of them are related? In other words, this is the essential last two people on the world scenario. Obviously, you need more than just two people to repopulate the world, but how many?

The concept you are looking for is the minimum effective population size, and it can be calculated- though not easily!- given that you know the variables involved.

Q. I am tired of people always asking me when I am going to have kids, I do want them, but when my partner and I are financially secure and out of debt. I am only 30. I am fed up of people asking and when I reply for this reason, they throw other things at me, such as my time is running out etc. I hate it and am loosing patience. What is a witty retort to this question? Asked by ABIGAIL ROSE - Sat Aug 16 12:32:30 2008 - - 7 Answers - 0 Comments A. Tell them you wouldn't have given it a thought if they hadn't asked but you will consider it sometime. Best wishes.
