Humanity refers to the human race or mankind as a whole, to that which is characteristically human, or to that which distinguishes human beings from other animals or from other animal species primal nature.
We are accused of murder, torture and violations of basic human rights. The outside world seems to believe that we have lost our sense of humanity."

I think it depends. By humanity, I think you mean the word compassion, and I think some people are actually incapable of feeling that as a genetic malfunction. That would be the class of people who kill without remorse. I think they cannot gain it back. However, that's a very small group and I think most people just need to remember that the divisions between us are rather artificial. In doing so, compassion pervades you and you get your humanity.

First, "humanity" is something one can't "lose." They've got it or they haven't. I believe "tuayeg" was speaking of sociopaths, who don't/can't change. As to nations...how does a "nation" lose its humanity, (your word in this case), since it's made up of many kinds of people? To consider a country as having lost its humanity would be a very subjective GENERALIZATION. You need to give this a good THINK. Logical progression of thought, & all that good constructive stuff...
