People
In general, the English word people refers to a
specific group of Humans, or to Persons in a general sense.
A people is also the problematic concept of a group of
humans which are united by some common factor, for example nationality, skin
colour or a common culture. For example the Christian Bible refers to the people of
Moses. The
individuals of the people are assumed to share values and beliefs and be aware
of the fact that they are part of the group.
Because of the intuitive strength of this concept, it has often been used as
a basis for various arguments trying to promote one issue or another. In the
West, a recent notable example is the German Nazi Party's propaganda
against the Jews in the
1930s and 1940s.
