looking at persons vs. peoples

By airhole

I notice myself looking at things through a different lens, shifting from the person as an individual, to the person identified in the group that he/she belongs to.

When I see the distinction, there is a likelihood that I put my prejudices if I see them in the systems/groups that they belong to, yet it helps explain the behaviours that the person presents.

And still, the person is a unique individual, that he/she will have his/her personality, attitudes, beliefs that varies in degrees with the group of belonging. The person has his/her own personal issues, virtues, and low points, that makes him/her interesting to know and curiously magnificent.
