Scientific, Mathematical, Philosophical, Theological, and Abstract Mixed Media for Humanitarianism.

Why does human society categorize human beings in many different aspects? For example, humans categorize people into topics such as Jewish, Muslims, White, Black, Hispanic, German, Asian, Native American, and etcetera. Categorizing people as Jewish, Muslim, Agnostic, Atheist, Pagan, Buddhist, or Christian, and etcetera is in a theological or religious perspective. Categorizing people as white, black, brown, yellow, green, purple, and etcetera is in a “racial” or more specifically just by the visible light reflected by one’s skin. Categorizing people as Hispanic, German, Asian, American, Nigerian, South African, Indian, Japanese, Lithuanian, Peruvian, Canadian, Australian, and etcetera is in a political, governmental, or historical perspective. All of these categories are fabricated, inexistent, arbitrary concepts that we use for our current contemporary organization of human civilization, but does not actually exist in tangible nature. What does really exist in nature is deoxyribonucleic acid and our species. Another tangible distinction between people that actually exists in nature is blood type based upon antigens or proteins. There is only one human race, and as long as any one female can mate with any one male there is only one biological species amongst us. Furthermore, what does actually exist as well is the definition of a species and the philosophical or scientific debate on what defines a species. We have it all mixed up when we are referring to someone’s classification. All of these categorizations are flawed. If human society is going to distinguish different types of people other than what we are all a part of, the human species; categorize people on a scientific note based upon nature, like blood types. At least in this context it has some biological function or purpose to do so.

On the contrary, theological, racial, and political categorizations have no function other than to cause discrimination and violence. Okay, give them more credit than that, they for now, keep some sort of social organization to try and maintain some type of peace or order because of our current primordial state. However soon, we will realize they are no longer needed for peace or order of our society, because we will realize they are not real and we will base peace of our unified, free society on the fact that we are all one species with a common goal. These categorizations will become obsolete.
