Humanity refers to the human race and the basic ethics of altruism and compassion between people. Historically, Confucian philosophy saw humanity as loving others, while Greek philosophers considered virtues like courage, justice and generosity as humanity's strengths. Today, humanity's strengths include love between people in different relationships, kindness through helpfulness, and social intelligence in understanding relationships. Humanity remains symbolized by figures like Mother Teresa who represented love, care and peace.
