Classification of Humans: Race & Ethnicity

Let's understand the classification of humans in the system and out of the system with the help of YouTube videos selected for this article. How do we determine which humans are superior than others? 

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN  RACE and ETHNICITY. 

Maria George, Master of Education and Master of Public Health, found a peculiar and easy way to explain us about Race, Ethnicity, and Culture

A professor of a Polytechnic Institute in Canada explains the difference of the terms Race and Ethnicity. 

The largest ethnic group on top of the world wide ranking is Han Chinese and Mandarin is the most spoken language in the planet.

WHAT'S RACISM? 

RISE is an American educational organization focused on eliminating racial discrimination in sports. They explain what Racism is: 


There is a Declaration of Race and Racial Prejudice as a Human Rights instrument approved and proclaimed by the General Conference of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, meeting in Paris at its highest meeting, on November 27, 1978 .

The concept of Race is based on equality. The 1st article says: 

"All human beings belong to a single species and are descended from a common stock. They are born equal in dignity and rights and all form an integral part of humanity..."

By reading that paragraph the first thought is if we could add a question mark. 

"All human beings belong to a single species and are descended from a common stock. They are born equal in dignity and rights and all form an integral part of humanity...??????"

The idea of classification of humans by color of skin, weight, height, or other type of physical aspect is not only the way humans discriminate people in the system by hierarchy. 

Economy also plays a role in differentiating social classes at the vertical system. 

In the job market, at educational system, capacity, ability, skills are measures which makes us sometimes unique. Not all humans are equal that way. In sports, not all competitors reach Gold Medal and not all break record marks.

Let's watch this video of the HUMAN EVOLUTION. The evolution is not only physical but also mentally. 


There are 14 types of human species:
