The English noun people (singular "person") refers to a plurality of human beings. It has two usages:

Because the word people often refers to abstract and general types of groups, the word persons is sometimes used in place of people, especially when it would be ambiguous with its collective sense (e.g. missing persons instead of people). It can collectively refer to all humans or it can be used to identify a certain ethnic or religious group. For example, "people of color" is a phrase used in North America to describe non-whites.

Why people knows the right way in investment & he willing to teach others while he can make a lot of money?
Q. Why some smart people knows the way about investment and he could make a lot of money, BUT still want to teach others how to invest? For example, like some people play stock market. They willing to tell people what would be the trend of a stock or they would write a book to let other people know how to make money. I don't understand. If they kept the serect, they could make so much money to themselve. Why tell other how to do?
Asked by TeChen H - Tue Dec 18 11:34:49 2007 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Well the truth is that people who really making a lot of money don't really teach you how to do it. Did you ever hear Warren Buffet teach people how to pick stock. You should read the book value investing. Warren Buffet never want to disclose his secret of investing or the stock that he will be investing in. So what do you think make this people want to share their way of investment, it is because it is easier to make money from you than from the stock market :) If you are willing to pay me $3000 I don;t mind teaching you how to invest in stock :)

What is the psychological term for people who take pride in human suffering?
Q. Anyone know what the psychological terms are for people who take pride in human suffering or any psychological terms for the following: People who are bullies. People who like to torture others. People who like to get entertainment from harassing others. People who get their entertainment from watching others get hurt. People who laugh and get personal joy in the embarrassment or humiliation of others. I cannot understand why anybody would do any of the above and would like to know why they do. I know there are plenty of people out there who laugh and get personal joy in the embarrassment or humiliation of others. But I just cannot understand why?

What causes old people to become childish in mentality?
Q. When they get older , many older people become childish thinking. Thinking about very trivial things and act like little children about things. What is the cause of this? I know it is a form of seniality , but could sombody explain what is happening in their body or brain? Also does this happen to people , say in their 30's as well. Or maybe some people just never really "grow up"? Why do some people who should be married and having adult life, still behave as little children? Something similar to above?
Asked by Charles R - Thu Feb 15 17:45:57 2007 - - 7 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Dementia - the higher centers of the brain - the cerbral cortex - become dysfunctional as people age (esp if they have alzhemiers) and that is why people become childish. if people in their 30's behave like that, it usually means they have a personality problem

Quotes about people

Sourced

  • A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky, dangerous animals, and you know it.
  • Show me a man or a woman alone and I'll show you a saint. Give me two and they'll fall in love. Give me three and they'll invent the charming thing we call 'society'. Give me four and they'll build a pyramid. Give me five and they'll make one an outcast. Give me six and they'll reinvent prejudice. Give me seven and in seven years they'll reinvent warfare. Man may have been made in the image of God, but human society was made in the image of His opposite number, and is always trying to get back home.
    • Glen Bateman, The Stand (C&U), 3rd paragraph of Chapter 42, by Stephen King
  • I judge people by what they might be,—not are, nor will be.
  • The people will live on. The learning and blundering people will live on.
    • Carl Sandburg (1878–1967), American poet. The People, Yes (1936)
