"We Just Do"

The Human "Race"

Look at all of us, constantly on the go. We pass people without recognizing their faces, days turns into blurry units of time. We spend hours passing time, of all daily tasks “ that must be done”. We spend minutes worrying. We don’t value the time we have on this earth, we just “do”. Then again its called The Human “Race” for a reaso

According to Webster Dictionary the “ Human Race” definition would be human beings in general; the human kind. According to my research, the human race can also be defined as; Social conceptions groupings of races vary over time, involving folk taxonomies that define essential types of individuals based on perceived traits.

Our morning routines turn into a 20-minute shuffling haul out the door. We spend our nights “catching up on social media” and the time we set for ourselves is last. Isn't being first what’s more important?. Scientists consider biological essentialism obsolete, and generally discourage racial explanations for collective differentiation in both physical and behavioral traits. I believe we behave the way we do because of our environment.

Scientists have confirmed that, “your innate qualities and genetics (nature) and environment and unique experiences (nurture) impact who you will become in life (koedlearning.org)”. There may be a contribute to a person’s behavior even though a person’s genetics may be highly considered. Studies have also shown that; the environment will have a hypnotic effect on us.

We spend time rushing to figure out the answers that have not been answered yet, maybe we need time to figure out ourselves, in order to “win” this human race.
