When I am searching for an article about humanity ..I actually encounter an article just right at below of this blog title 'determination' which really touch my heart ...

The story was about an engineer named John Roebling and his son Washington tried to build a bridge that connect New York with the Long Island .Although it seems to be impossible ,the father and son still start the project until an accident happened on the site which caused the father lost his life and the son cannot talk and walk and more due to the damage on the brain .....Despite all the negative comment from society and his body condition ....the son still continue the project with just ONE finger ...And finally ,after 13 years of tapping ...the Brooklyn Bridge had been completed..

Reading this article reminds me about my past zz....I still can remember when I was in form 4..I always failed in my exam and being looked down by everyone ..so from that time I have swear to myself to get my 'revenge' back (sounds evil HAHA ^^) ...at first... no matter how I read books or doing exercise ....i just can't cope with them zz.....so after enduring all the taunt and failure for about 9 months ...finally I got NO.8 for the SPM trial exam in my class ..MUAHAHAHAHHAAHAHHA........
I know that if I compare myself with Washington .....what happened to me that time is just nothing...but that is my first time I tried to do something that is totaly impossible to me ..
and I'm satisfy with what I have achieve (Actually I aiming for top 5 in the class that time ^^)

Although now I don't know whether I am determined enough to achieve what I want...or maybe I will collapse in the future .....I will try my best to do whatever I can and try not to let my parents down....

When talk about humanity, it can be related to human, animal, and also nature.Humanity can be define as the quality of being humane; the kind feelings, dispositions, and sympathies of man; especially, a disposition to relieve persons or animals in distress, and to treat all creatures with kindness and tenderness. We can see especially when Ramadhan arrive, there are so many generous person will give some donation and contribution in order to help an orphan.Actually that is a good initiative to help them so that they will not feel sad when Hari Raya just around a corner. However money is not everything to them but the most important is our caress towards them. They need some attention. So, show your humanity sincerely.

Salam. I had read an article about swine flu. The WHO warned that all humanity under threats. It is very sad to hear that from day to day, there are people suspected with swine flu. It is not that they are positive swine flu but because of they have the influenza-like illness. They have to be quarantined or receiving treatment in an isolation ward. Just imagine their condition. They are very depressed and alone inside the room. Alone here means that without their family to look after them. They cannot see their family members. They only can contact with each other through telephone. Therefore, to avoid this disease to spread, the WHO had announced all countries to immediately now activate their pandemic preparedness plans. Countries should remain on high alert for unusual outbreaks of influenza-like illness and severe pneumonia. With an elevated pandemic alert level, WHO might also issue travel advisories, warning against non-essential travel to regions battling outbreaks, trade restrictions, and the cancellation of public events or border closures. Beside that, we also have to practice a hygienic in our daily life to prevent ourselves from getting the influenza-like illness. We should follow the steps to prevent the disease from spreading that had being announced by the Health Department. As a conclusion, we should take good care of ourselves. Immediately seek treatment from doctor if we are having the influenza-like illness and keep a distance from others or using mask if we are at crowded places.

I have read an article about “Without a protective environment, it’s a harsh life for children”. While progress is being made in reducing some violations of children’s rights, not enough is yet known about the extent of abuses against children. Violence and exploitation remain a harsh reality in the lives of many children around the world.
Millions of boys and girls around the world are subject to trafficking, are without parental care, or lack documentation they need to attend school and access basic health care. Millions more are forced to work under harmful conditions, while others face violence or abuse in their homes, in their schools, in their communities, in institutions or while in detention, often from the adult entrusted with their care.
I’m very pity to them. They are also a human and have heart feeling. They should not being threat like that and imagine you at their place.

I’ve read an article about the storm that hit Philippines recently..there are hundreds of people was killed and thousands of them marooned on the rooftops..the strong winds and rains hampered the rescue efforts, grounding military helicopters and lifeboats..because of the heavy rains also, one of the dam has collapsed..now they were begging for the wheeler-trucks, helicopters and lifeboats to rescue the people from the rooftops..many of the roads also has gone..where it has been covered by the water..the water level keep rising up..this is the worst storm that occurred in Philippines..as for me, I felt pity to them because they have to go through this situation..they lost the persons that they love..lost their family and houses..and the bad thing is they will always live in trauma..but at the same time we have to be thankful because it not happened to our country..i can’t imagine if this happened to us..

As I go through for the article about humanity, I was surprised about an article of “Security guard gets 18 years for raping underage daughter”. The victim was raped by its own father. She is only about 13 years old. She ran away from her mother who had beaten her and sought shelter from her father, but it is not a good idea when her father rapes her. Oh God…what kind of father is this, as a father, he should protect his child, but he took advantage of her instead. I think it is like an animal eating its young. And also working as a security guard was supposed to protect others from danger but he had done a dreadful thing to his own daughter. He was sentenced to 18 years in jail and 10 strokes of the rotan for raping his underage daughter. From my opinion, he deserves to get it, as we all know rape was a serious offence.

humanity...

I gathered these from the encyclopedia...

-The human species
The total world population of humans
-Human nature, psychological characteristics that all normal human beings have in common
Compassion, altruism, or similar positive aspects of human nature along with aggression, fear, or similar negative aspects
-The human condition, the totality of experience of existing as a human
-The humanities, academic disciplines which study the human condition using analytic, critical, or speculative methods.

so it's about human...

I've read the book that titled 'aku terima nikahnya.'
emm, the book is interesting...
haha...try to read...

in the subtopic that titled 'memaknakan dunia dengan akhirat.'

i am so afraid to read the title already...
what's about?
all we know about en Jazimin Abdul Jalil that he and his family had lost their lovely child named nurin jazilin.

it was so cruel to the people who was willing to do that crime...
kill and raped the only eight-year old girl with a cucumber and a brinjal was found stuffed inside her private parts which had caused her rectum to rupture.

oh my god!!!
until today i cannot believe that!!!

how could!!!

from here, the humanity has lost from some of the Malaysians...
what a shame...
so we must be one, co-operate and be togetherness...
that is very important one...we need to be together...always...

together to prevent the cruel crime which is not inhumanity...
please...

ALLAh has the reasons.....
Maybe ALLAH wants to test the Iman of the followers....
But...when we think carefully, What were happened are come from...???
Think carefully ok....

The time to look up of yourself and think what you have been done in this world...
And seeking for the ALLAH forgiveness....

here i want to share a touching story about humanity...

here, you can hear absolute silence...
here, you can find drought lands...
here, you can sniff disgusting smells...
HERE IS WHERE I LIVED!!!


this story told me about the true life of a person that was karl who really responsible person and willing to sacrifice for his family...
karl was the eldest siblings in his family.since his family was very poor and he was the eldest he had many responsible to do to help his family. he did many kinds of chores and also working with his parents in the fields.
although he felt very tired but he never give up and always try to do better for help his family to make their life become more comfortable...
i love this story because i got a lot of moral values from this story...
although we got a lot of trouble in our life just dont give up...
and just remind that, there are other persons who had more of trouble than you and be more gratefull with you life...
that's all...

Humanity:
The quality of being human; the peculiar nature of man, by which he is distinguished from other beings.

I read an article in Reader's Digest once about the bravery of of a 12 year old girl, Sarah Pickett who out of her deep love for her pet dog risked entering a raging inferno to save its live.
This article was a mind stimulator because after reading this article it really made me think how great a feeling love is. It makes people do lots of wonderful things. This is a clear example of humanity because when we think about it humanity is the quality of being human and this such incidebts shows how we humans stand out compared to other beings in this world. Yet there some humans who do not deserve to be even called humans due their barbaric behaviors.
SO A CALL ALL TO OUR FRIENDS PLEASE YOUR HUMAN CHARACTERISTICS.
Thank You.

I was goin through an article by Maria Karagiozakis entitled "Counting excess civilian casualties of the Iraq War: Science or Politics?" Reading that article made me to think a lot. During the time of war, civilians at that time bear the consequences of zero security and lack of safety. Reports of death range from 128,000 to 1,033,000 and innocent people are the victim of pain and hunger. All this event led to one question, why all this is happening? The lack of humanity is the main cause for all this actions. Why cant the people in the world set aside their differences, gather their similarities and leave peacefully for the sake of our life and our children's life? Why people tend to choose war over peace, trouble instead of happiness. All I;m asking is a little humanitarian of all the people in the platform called PEACE!!!!

I don't want to go so far as to reach Indonesia as well just to find humanity.Instead in Ump as well there are many type or example of humanity.......

Let me bring you all into our past time in the MINDS WEEKS.In that time actually we had done a good comunity service in Felda Lepar.Many activity based on humanity were being held there such as cleaning the grave area,cooking together,cleaning the mosque area as well.

Activity like this should be held frequently because it have many advantages.But nowadays our people only think or concern about entertainment until their forgot about the most important things which is humanity...

Greetings to one and all. Humanity. The one thing that a lot of people are fighting for. Take for example the countries at war. Aid is often sent there to assist the innocent people. This form of aid is called humanitarian aid. On the topside, it looks like an absolutely noble thing that any country can do, but is fighting for humanity the best thing a person can do? Why do we need to fight for humanity when the simplest solution is to just prevent the things that destroy humanity such as war and biased political policies. People forget and often look past the simplest things. We don't have to fight for humanity, we just have to prevent humanity from destroying itself.

What do we mean by humanity? In my oppinion it is psychological characteristics that all normal humans have in common such as love, compassion and so on. i rather came accross an article about a famous humanitarian who won the noble prize of peace....Mother Teresa.An example of her volentary work would be in 1982, at the height of the Siege of Beirut, Mother Teresa rescued 37 children trapped in a hospital by having a temporary stop of gun firing between the Israeli army and Palestinian guerrillas. Accompanied by Red Cross workers, she traveled through the war zone to the devastated hospital to rescue the young patients
reading it made me realise that we must perform good deeds without expecting any reward. It is a mans duty to help those in need is they are capable of doing it.

Nowadays many crimes happened like murderer and raping …. I can`t understand why most of the people like to kill and hurt each other … So what is humanity? Sorry, I really can`t understands at all …
I go to find dictionary, the answer is
• Humans considered as a group; the human race.
• The condition or quality of being human.
• The quality of being humane; benevolence.
• A humane characteristic, attribute, or act.
Ok I found a very interesting thing… The quality of being humane; benevolence
Our earth exists long before human showed up. Has human contributed in making our earth a better place? Not, what I can see is human destroying this blue planet. At the end, this blue planet will end like Mars or Venus. But who will care after that? So, what could our purpose be? What is the purpose humanity? I have no idea at all ….

as sazwan said that if we want to find humanity, its not only go to Indonesian right? but as a Malaysian people i should know what is happen in other country. the article that i just written is about Quake Triggers Tsunami in Indonesia.A powerful earthquake shook in Indonesia and killing 10 people. so, as a malaysian people, we should give them support like food, clothes medicine and shelther that can help them to survive after the incident. It is the means of humanity that i can understand...
