The human being is definitively a communal organism whose social being is constructed within the framework in which he/she engages in social interaction. This framework in its largest context can be simply named “society”. Within this macro structure there is an infinite number of micro structures in which humans interact within. These micro structures that are constantly being created, recreated, and dissolved constitute family units, neighborhoods, places of employment, schools, etc., that can themselves be subdivided into even more specific components and so forth. It is within these fluid organic structures that the human being is socialized. Through the process of socialization the individual is taught how to “be human”. Biologically, the individual is born human, but in the capacity that the individual can reach his/her individual potential, socialization is essential and rudimentary to this fact. It is interesting to note that many conflicts that arise between individuals and structures in society in essence arise from a disagreement about the socialization of the individual.

When we as individuals, as organizations, argue for a just and equal society we are fundamentally contending for the socialization of a more humane human being. I believe that through the struggle for justice and the uplifting of the common man through education and social action do we as individuals begin to uncover what it means to “be human”. The elements that we begin to ascertain through hard work and hands on experience in solidarity with our fellow man are some of the virtues that constitute being human. Love, thoughtfulness, benevolence, and generosity are all cultivated under the wings of justice and law. I therefore argue that only in a society steep in justice and righteousness can the individuals of that society reach their human potential and in essence become truly human. It is therefore necessary that society as a whole and the structures most responsible for the socialization of the individual, concern themselves with constructing a social environment that will facilitate humanities need to be constituted of just human beings represented and guided by compassionate leaders that will defend the venerable and esteemed attributes of a great civilization.
