Nonperson Treatment
Nonperson treatment is a level of social interaction at which one person does not acknowledge the presence of another person. The concept was introduced by American sociologist, social psychologist Erving Goffman.''The Presentation of Self in Everyday Life'', 1956'' Asylums: Essays on the Condition of the Social Situation of Mental Patients and Other Inmates'', 1961'' Behavior in Public Places'', 1963 For comparison, Goffman describes two other levels of social interaction: " civil inattention", whereby some form of subtle, implicit acknowledgement is provided, and "encounter", which is an explicit engagement. Goffman gives examples of people commonly subject to nonperson treatment: "... it may be seen in our society in the way we sometimes treat children, servants, Negroes, and mental patients."

Beginning Of Human Personhood
The beginning of human personhood is the moment when a human is first recognized as a person. There are differences of opinion about the precise time when human personhood begins and the nature of that status. The issue arises in a number of fields, including science, religion, philosophy, and law, and is most acute in debates about abortion, stem cell research, reproductive rights, and fetal rights. Traditionally, the concept of personhood has included the concept of the soul, a metaphysical concept of a non-corporeal or extra-corporeal dimension of human beings. In modernity, the concepts of subjectivity and intersubjectivity, personhood, mind, and self have come to encompass a number of aspects of humanness that were previously considered to be characteristics of the soul. One question about the beginning of human personhood has been the moment at which soul enters the body. An alternative question, both historically and in modern times, may be at what point does the deve ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |
