AEE 2564: Human or Person? What's the Difference?

The podcast explores the subtle differences between the words "human," "person," and "people," noting when to use each to foster better connections. "Human" is presented as more scientific and formal, often referring to the species or the physical body (e.g., "the human body," "human nature"). In contrast, "person" and "people" are more individualistic and social, relating to individuals and their interactions. The hosts delve into common collocations like "human rights," "human resources," "people skills," and "a people pleaser," illustrating appropriate contexts. They also explore nuanced, sometimes sarcastic uses of "human" in casual conversation, such as referring to one's children as "small humans." A roleplay demonstrates how these terms can be used in everyday conversation to express empathy and understanding.
