SESSION 2

HUMANITY

STARTER: Look at the pictures and answer the following questions:

• 
  What notions come to your mind when you see pictures?
  
• 
  What is the difference between the first and the second pictures?  What notions do you know related to the pictures?
  

Step 1. Read the text. Find highlighted words and expressions in the text to the definitions below.
Humanity is the human race, which includes everyone on Earth. It’s also a word for the qualities that make us human, such as the ability to love and have compassion, be creative, and not be a robot or alien.
The word humanity is from the Latin humanitas for "human nature, kindness.” Humanity includes all the humans, but it can also refer to the kind feelings humans often have for each other. But when you talk about humanity, you could just be talking about people as a whole. When people do bad things, it tests your faith in humanity. When people ask for money to help feed starving children, they're appealing to your sense of humanity.
In the plural form (the humanities), it means the study of literature, philosophy, and the arts
(the study of Ancient Greek and Roman language, literature, the study of Old English language etc).
