According to Kirti Daga,”Humanity can be defined as a quality of being human, also it can be considered as the kindness given to another.”(Daga). While everybody with humanity is human, being a human does not mean that they have humanity inside of them. In their article Kirti states, ”If somebody wanted to understand the quality of humanity in certain individuals it is quite simple.

Helping the needy means that you are thankful for what you have, so you want to help others in return.
