Have humanity

The importance of acceptance in a society

order to prevent inequalities in any kind of setting, especially in job settings or, as mentioned earlier in the issue, to prevent censorship of different beliefs such as LGBTQ+ love. These are both examples of decisions being made without humanity being kept in mind. The cycle of inequalities and discrimination will continue to go on as time does if humanity is not held to higher importance.

There are institutions that are in charge of ensuring someone is putting in time and effort toward humanity such as the Geneva Convention. The convention was first founded in 1863 and included delegates from 16 countries in order to discuss the terms of a wartime agreement. Now, however, organizations such as the Red Cross and Red Crescent are going to be present in the meetings in order to discuss their stance on the importance of humanity. The two organizations see humanity as their first fundamental principle and purpose and since 1965, they have defined their movements as “To prevent and alleviate human suffering wherever it may be found [and] to protect life and health and ensure respect for the human being.”

The purpose of introducing this concept and implementing it into people’s everyday thinking is to build a relationship within the world and have them naturally think of everyone as a ‘we’ in the sense that we are sharing the same home, and share a common species consciousness.

Humanity is especially important to Black history and what they have gone through in the past. Having Black History Month is important in order to recognize Black people’s hardships through slavery and inequality in the past, but also recognize that they are still very much going through inequalities and discrimination. Further, Black History Month is important to recognize everything Black people have achieved and a way for us to celebrate those achievements. Therefore, during this month we should be making ourselves more aware of their goals and accomplishments, ways we can support them and how to be better allies in order to contribute towards the mission of humanity.
