Humanity is a virtue associated with the basic ethics of altruism derived from the human condition. It also symbolizes human love and compassion towards each other. Humanity differs from mere justice therein there's A level of altruism towards individuals included in humanity more so than the fairness found injustice. That is, humanity, and therefore the acts of affection, altruism, and social intelligence are typically individual strengths while fairness is usually expanded to all or any. Humanity can be classed as one of the six virtues that are consistent across all cultures. The concept goes back to the event of "humane" or "humanist" philosophy during the Renaissance (with predecessors in 13th-century scholasticism stressing an idea of basic human dignity inspired by Aristotelianism) and therefore the concept of humanitarianism within the early modern period, and resulted in modern notions like "human rights".
