Why are Humans loosing Humanity?

Answer 1

I DON'T THINK AS A COLLECTIVE THAT HUMANS ARE LOOSING HUMANITY.

IT DEPENDS ARE YOU LOOKING AT SINGULAR EVENTS TO EXPLAIN THE WHOLE OR CAN YOU SIT BACK & TAKE THE PULSE OF THE BIG PICTURE?

IN THE SPAN OF 1 WEEK IN NYC WE HAD A MAN WHO JUMPED ON THE TRAIN TRACKS TO SAVE SOMEONE WHILE THE TRAIN WAS COMING. HE SHEILDED THE PERSON WITH HIS BODY AS THE TRAIN ROLLED OVER THEM. THEN THE NEXT WEEK TWO STRANGERS CAME TOGETHER TO CATCH A CHILD WHO WAS JUMPING FROM THE 4 FLOOR OF A BURNING BUILDING,

WHAT ABOUT OPRAH BUILDING A SCHOOL IN AFRICA, VOLUNTEERS BUILDING HOUSES FOR OTHERS (HABITATS FOR HUMANITY).

YES THERE IS UGLY IN THE WORLD BUT EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE I REFOCUS ON THE QUIETER BEAUTY.

Answer 2

Do you mean, why are humans becoming less humane - less empathetic, and/or less sympathetic?

The answer is over population. There are too many of us. Because there are too many of us, we get on each others' nerves. We want people to respect us but they are too busy fending for themselves and trying to "succeed". While at the same time, resources are getting more scarce.

People are beginning to feel uneasy particularly with news like global warming. We hear that we are threatening our own environment and who can be happy and optimistic about that. Instead we tend to be less optimistic about "the other guy" and more defensive about ourselves.

The same thing happens with over populations of many other animals. Studies have been done with rats that show that "normal" more orderly rat interactions begin to fall apart when they are too tightly crowded.

Nearly all conflict between humans can be linked to too many of us vying for too few resources in too small an area.

Being so successful at reproducing ourselves, and altering our environment for our sole purposes, we end up being our own greatest competitor. And competitors are not always friendly.

Answer 3

An assumptive leap.

Check your premise.

What are you basing the question on?

How do you define humanity?

In short, humans aren't losing humanity, technology actually allows us to be more human to people all over the globe simultaneously.

Answer 4

Because we humans have lost sight of God and are more interested in the literal as well as the militant aspects of religions.
It will be this way until the beast is dead.

Answer 5

Humans aren't losing their humanity. It can't be lost. It is what we make it. Our behavior defines it, describes it, remakes it.
Humanity does not define humans; humans define their humanity.
We can't destroy our humanity without destroying ourselves first.

Answer 6

Because humans subject themselves to what is inhuman.
