de·hu·man·ize - to deprive of human qualities or attributes; divest of individuality

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What is it that makes us human? Makes us different than an animal? In other words, what qualities separates us and makes us more unique than any other creature on earth?

  1. If you kill someone's dog it's not as big of a deal, I mean you can go out and buy another dog. But if you kill someone's brother, you can't bring him back or replace him.

    1. What if there was a reason for killing the brother. Maybe he was trying to kill you but you fought back? Only the police did to know that so you were still charged.

  3. Because humans do things in the world they could even change the world to make it better. Dogs or animals can't talk they can't make a big difference humans are more valuable then animals

  4. Dehumanization- What makes us human?
    I believe that something that makes us human is that we are advanced farther than animals. Animals can be smart, they have brains, they have hearts, but the difference is that we were able to advance farther.

  7. A human is different from an animal because we are considered more superior. Animals aren't looked at as being very important, so if you were to kill one purposely or accidentally then you will receive somekind of punishment. That punishment won't be severe but you will be punished. On the other hand, if you kill an human, you will go to prison or receive life in prison. Why is this? I don't have the answer but that's just how life is.

  8. Humans are different from animials because the way they can communicate and are more important in everyone's eyes. It's all on the outlook people see killing humans more harmful and dangerous than killing a dog. People just see humans more important than animials.

  9. I think that what makes people different from animals is our intelligence and ability to communicate. If we lost our intelligence and ability to communicate we could not be separated from an animal because that is what we would be.

  10. Emotions, thoughts, free will, and voluntary actions make humans different from animals. Humans live in a way that they can control; we can choose and think and process more than just hunger and thirst and sleep. We function outside of what is norm for other species. We can fulfill our necessities and go beyond them.

    1. I believe that animals have emotion, thought, etc. because my dog was in a depression from another dog dying.

  11. Well there are some animals that have the same qualities as humans; but what separates us is that we humans have the ability to speak and give our opinion.

  12. I think that our way of life is what makes us different from animals, as well as the way we were created. Humans wonder about everything, we wonder why. Do dogs or fish wonder where their next meal is coming from? Do they wonder why their a certain way? They don't. The way we were wired to think is what makes us different.

  13. We hold ourselves to a different standard from animals. We consider ourselves top of thefood chain. We are more develop than animals. Animals can't really change the world as much as we can so we think they are less important than humans.

  14. Some things that make us different from an anmials are our physical, and mental state of mind. An example of psycal would be the way we talk, And an example of mental is our abIlity to learn

  15. Humans can not be brought back if they are killed, you can buy another pet to replace it. Humans work and try to improve the world but it doesn't really work. We also have feelings.

  16. You can just buy another animal having another boy or girl it's not the same as the first not the same feeling or anything you will still think about them

  17. Humans aren't different than humans new say they can't talk but that's because we don't understand their language

  18. Animals are not as important as humans are. If human killed a dog, they wouldn't go to jail. Animals can't get paid to work, they can't speak in English or in any language for us to understand, they can't drive, they can't do anything. Humans have a lot of things to do in their life. We have goals to accomplish, jobs to do, and children to raise.
